🌞 Optimizing Solar Energy with Advanced Data Analysis in R 🌞 How can the optimization of solar panel placement influence electricity productivity in different geographic locations and climatic conditions? This was the research question that guided a recent project I completed with three amazing colleagues: Avi Elbaz, Tomer Ronen and Maxim Lisiansky. Together, we dove deep into the world of renewable energy, focusing on how strategic placement can maximize solar panel efficiency. Link to git Repository and the Final Report: https://lnkd.in/dMc8YrJb Our Approach: 1. Complex ETL Process: We tackled real-world data from various sources, merging datasets from the Electric Company, Israel Meteorological Service, and more, to ensure comprehensive analysis. 2. Linear Regression & Bootstrap Methods: We applied these techniques to model and predict electricity output, handling challenges like missing data and variance in climatic conditions. Key Findings: 1. Temperature Impact: We discovered that while higher temperatures generally increase energy yield, excessively high temperatures can actually harm production, a critical insight for optimizing panel placement. 2. Cloudiness: Contrary to expectations, cloudiness showed no clear negative impact on energy yield, suggesting that solar panels can perform effectively even on partly cloudy days. 3. Rain: The most significant finding was the strong negative effect of rain on energy output, underscoring the importance of considering local climate in solar panel deployment. This project not only enhanced my skills in data manipulation and analysis but also contributed valuable insights to the growing field of renewable energy. 🚀 Excited about the potential of data-driven decisions in shaping a sustainable future! 🚀 #DataScience #RenewableEnergy #RProgramming #DataAnalysis #SolarEnergy
