PV-Scope

One platform, three scales: multi-resolution solar panel segmentation

Discover, identify and measure photovoltaic systems in satellite, aerial and UAV imagery. An agentic MAPVNet router picks the specialist model trained for each image's scale, so every panel pixel is marked accurately whatever the source.

Highlights

Analyse a single image in about a second, or a whole folder in one run
Agentic routing across SegFormer and Swin-UNet specialists
Train your own model with no code, then export scores and PDF reports

SolarMap AI

Find, measure and verify solar installations across Jeju

Maps solar PV systems in satellite imagery of Jeju and compares what the model finds against the official register. Operators can correct outlines by hand, estimate energy production and retrain the model from their corrections.

Highlights

Pixel-level panel detection on real satellite imagery
Spots installations missing from the official register
Human-in-the-loop correction, retraining and dataset export

PI-Solar Power

Physics-informed solar forecasting you can verify

Asks one question: if a machine-learning forecaster is given the physics of the sun, does it forecast better, and can we prove it? Solar position, clear-sky irradiance and cell temperature set the ceiling, and the same learner is scored with and without physics on unseen data.

Highlights

42 rooftop PV sites, or upload your own power CSV
Before-and-after comparison of models with and without physics
Prediction bands for uncertainty-aware forecasts

Solar PV Simulator

Configure modules and explore partial-shading scenarios

A step-by-step simulator for photovoltaic experiments: choose a real module or upload your own, set the array layout, irradiance and cell temperature, then explore shading scenarios to see how global maximum power point tracking responds.

Highlights

Library of commercial modules plus custom uploads
Setup, scenario and results workflow
Advanced research parameters for MPPT experiments

HyRaT-Meta

Forecasting energy demand, renewable generation and curtailment

A research framework that forecasts how the grid will keep supply and demand in balance: energy load, renewable generation, and the curtailment that happens when there is more renewable power than the grid can use.

Highlights

Explore grid data and supply-demand imbalance day by day
Live, step-by-step forecasting sessions with accuracy checks
Bilingual English and Korean interface

ProphetBoost Studio

Forecast electricity demand in one click

Pick a dataset, pick your models, and see how well they predict, with live charts and side-by-side scores. Uses the built-in Jeju Island dataset or your own CSV, and runs several models at once for a fair comparison.

Highlights

Ten models including ProphetBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM and neural networks

Smart Farm

Evidence-grounded monitoring and inspection planning

Monitors farm conditions, identifies the areas that need attention and helps plan inspections. The AI shows its evidence, while the operator approves every action, so devices are never changed automatically.

Highlights

Real-time cultivation zone and sensor monitoring
AI evidence review with operator approval
Guided recovery workflow and record export
