I’ ve watched 2 interesting talks at the e #SotM2019

One is about mapping solar panel installations, especially the small ones

because with some meteorological calculations sprinkled with some machine learning, the “backup” by traditional power stations can be reduced and hence a significant saving (in both money and emitted CO2) can be achieved

Another one is about the energy demand by buildings, based on geographical and geometrical data

In my area (south east of Italy) there are tons of solar panel installations that are not on the map

And I could help with buildings too

But I wonder

Can I get a share of the huge savings I could contribute to achieve ?

I don’ t feel like working for free anymore

Glory won’ t do. I’ d like to get a cut

I mean some large organizations are going to make fabulous earnings with this stuff.

What about the ant work of the small people who made that possible ?
