EcoTrailblazer & Shkolotron
Hey Shkolotron, I’ve been itching to chat about how AI could make solar farms run smarter—think smarter battery storage, less waste, more green power. What’s your take on using machine learning to predict peak sunlight and balance grid loads?
Sounds like a neat hack for the grid. If you feed the solar array data—temp, cloud cover, time of year—into a model that spits out a forecast curve, you can slot batteries in just when the sun’s overkilling. That way you buffer the peak, shave the troughs, and give the grid a steady pulse. The trick is keeping the model lightweight enough to run on the edge, so you don’t have to ping a cloud every minute. If you can nail that, the waste drops and the green juice just keeps flowing.
