Let's cut to the chase: yes, satellites can absolutely detect and map photovoltaic (PV) panels – and they're doing it with Sherlock Holmes-level precision. . From hundreds of kilometres above Earth, satellites are offering solar operators something invaluable: perspective. By capturing how sunlight, weather, and landscape interact over time through real-time satellite images, this technology gives us the tools to fine-tune performance on the ground. Energy demand is set to increase dramatically in coming years, and residential solar power is poised to play a crucial role in. . After moving back to California last month I have been very excited to see the massive quantity of solar PV rooftop installations in the areas I've visited. From tracking solar farms in the Nevada desert to spotting rooftop installations in Tokyo, orbital tech is revolutionizing how we monitor. . Every hour, more solar energy reaches the Earth than humans use in a year. of this energy is reflected back into space by the atmosphere.
