Building-level photovoltaic geodata product

FFEManage supplier listing

Building-level photovoltaic geodata product (DETECT – Solar): AI computer-vision detection of PV arrays and every other rooftop object from publicly available aerial and satellite imagery, fused with 3D building models to derive roof orientation, tilt, usable area and unsuitable-surface exclusions, and to produce hourly energy-yield estimates for both installed and technically possible PV — delivered as geo-located shapes exportable as CSV, GeoJSON or Excel, at scale from single municipality to national extent.

Type

Format
Vector geospatial output (geo-locations and polygon shapes with attributes) exportable as CSV, GeoJSON or Excel; live web demo map; custom report and simulation-model integration options
Volume
Germany-first coverage at building granularity: ~20-25M buildings in the German building stock, of which several million carry detected PV; each building yields multiple labelled roof planes with suitability and hourly-yield attributes. Plausibly 100M+ labelled roof-plane records at national extent, plus the expert-annotated imagery training corpus (order of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of manually labelled roof tiles/objects).
Users
N/A — dataset/report licensing product from a research institute, sold per engagement rather than as a registered-user platform; parent institute has ~97 staff and serves utilities, grid operators, municipalities and industrials
History
6 years
Update frequency
not stated
Growth
Active with a newly commercialised product line — the FfE Solutions storefront lists DETECT-Solar live with a working demo map while adjacent offerings (DETECT-Logistics, electricity-price/trend-scenario forecasting, eFlame battery-storage assessment) are marked 'Soon' and a dedicated 'Datasets' storefront section is flagged 'Soon', i.e. the data-product business is actively being built out.
Launched
FfE institute founded 1972 (long-standing energy-economics research body); the DETECT-Solar commercial data product is materially newer, est. 2023-2025, judging by the modern CV/3D-building pipeline description and the newly stood-up FfE Solutions storefront
