SolarGAN: Synthetic Annual Solar Irradiance Time Series on Urban Building Facades via Deep Generative Networks. (arXiv:2206.00747v1 [cs.LG])

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a promising technology to
decarbonize urban energy systems via harnessing solar energy available on
building envelopes. While methods to assess solar irradiation, especially on
rooftops, are well established, the assessment on building facades usually
involves a higher effort due to more complex urban features and obstructions.
The drawback of existing physics-based simulation programs is that they require
significant manual modelling effort and computing time for generating time
resolved deterministic results. Yet, solar irradiation is highly …
