What is DeepSolar

What is DEEPSOLAR ?

My sincere recommendation for solar contractors, researchers, utilities, solar developers and policymakers is:

to log into DeepSolar project to uncover solar deployment patterns, build comprehensive economic and behavioral models, and ultimately support the adoption and management of solar electricity

Go to interactive map, and select "Solar Installations" example: in Maryland, it is 8.16 solar systems per 1,000 household

More interesting is to select " Comparison" from the drop off menu, and compare "Solar Installations" with "Solar Radiations"

Excerpts fro DeepSolar Home Page

"We demonstrated its value by discovering that residential solar deployment density peaks at a population density of 1000 capita/mile2, increases with annual household income asymptoting at ~$150K, and has an inverse correlation with the Gini index representing income inequality.

"We uncovered a solar radiation threshold (4.5 kWh/m2/day) above which the solar deployment is “triggered”. Furthermore, we built an accurate machine learning-based predictive model to estimate the solar deployment density at the census-tract level"
