Led by: Riventa Ltd.

SolarAI proposes an AI-based package to optimise the design of solar PV systems for water pumping stations. This package offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for designing hybrid energy systems that use both solar and grid power to operate water pumping systems sustainably and reliably. The package uses advanced AI algorithms to accurately predict the power output of solar PV panels, optimise the system’s size and configuration, thereby minimising operational and maintenance costs. The benefits of this design include increased efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and improved access to clean water for communities, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals.
