Abstract

Solar irradiation may be predicted based on input terrestrial sky images comprising cloud images, the terrestrial sky images taken from a plurality of geographic locations by a plurality of devices; for example, wherein the terrestrial sky images are crowd sourced from the plurality of devices. A model may be generated that predicts solar irradiation in a geographic area based on the input terrestrial sky images and the geographic locations from where the terrestrial sky images were taken. A signal representing the solar irradiation predicted by the model is output.
