Overview
Open Climate Fix is a non-profit building open-source machine-learning models that nowcast solar photovoltaic output. Better short-term forecasts let grid operators rely less on fossil-fuel standby generation.
Key features
- Satellite- and weather-driven solar nowcasting
- Fully open-source models and datasets
- Focus on reducing grid carbon intensity
- Active research and contributor community
Who it’s for
Energy researchers, grid operators, and ML practitioners working on decarbonisation.
