In Zonnedakje, solar panels are identified using image recognition and aerial photography by the team. The dataset is meticulously filtered based on various use cases, such as distinguishing between residential or commercial buildings. Recently, greenhouses - also referred to as horticulture - have been incorporated into this analysis. This addition signifies that for each municipality, a detailed overview of all greenhouse horticulture facilities, including their roof surface area, is provided, thereby making the potential for solar greenhouses more transparent.
This enhancement has been a recurring request from clients and has now been fulfilled. It stands as a significant boon for municipalities that are in pursuit of insights into the total potential of large roofs, aligning with the objectives of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). This development is in harmony with sustainability projects within the horticultural sector. At NXTGEN Hightech, the team is dedicated to advancing digital sustainability. Their sister company, 30MHz, is pioneering the use of digital twins, artificial intelligence, and data analytics in greenhouse horticulture. The collaboration between the two entities on these initiatives is a source of enthusiasm.
