Where do wind and solar construction data come from?
Data on wind and solar construction come from Global Renewables Watch, with research contributions from Microsoft's AI for Good Lab, The Nature of Conservancy and Planet. Researchers trained a machine-learning model to detect onshore wind turbines and utility-scale solar farms in quarterly, high-resolution satellite imagery.
Does solar power surpass coal?
In the United States, electricity from solar and wind combined surpassed coal for the first time last year. Solar alone accounted for more than 80 percent of new capacity added in 2024, a third of which was installed in Texas.
Can a machine-learning model detect wind turbines & solar farms?
Researchers trained a machine-learning model to detect onshore wind turbines and utility-scale solar farms in quarterly, high-resolution satellite imagery. Planet provided the satellite data, which came as quarterly mosaics at 4.7 meter resolution, from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2024.
