Estimating the potential photovoltaic production of Berlin rooftops

Running the current model

The current model uses a pre-trained MobileNetV2 model for semantic segementation of rooftops (pixel-by-pixel prediction of roof/no-roof).

To run the model:

• Install Python 3.7 (other versions may work) and the packages listed in requirements.txt
• Create a subfolder "data" in the repository
• Download "curated_1.zip" from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zJGu6x-S13IBi_N0VGynjAypKGTq6JSC and unzip it in the data folders
• Run python run_model.py
• Inspect results in logs

To run the tests:

• Additionally download "map.zip" from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zJGu6x-S13IBi_N0VGynjAypKGTq6JSC and unzip it in the data folders
• Run python run_tests.py
