Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer storage media are disclosed for determining electric energy flow predictions for electric systems including photovoltaic solar systems. In some examples, a method is performed by a computer system and includes supplying a consumption time series and a predicted production time series for an electric system to a machine-learning predictor trained during a prior training phase using electric energy consumption training data and photovoltaic production training data. The consumption time series has a first data resolution, and the electric energy consumption training data and the photovoltaic production training data have a second data resolution greater than the first data resolution. The method includes determining, using an output of the machine-learning predictor, a predicted import time series of electric import values each specifying an amount of electric energy predicted to be imported by the electric system with a prospective photovoltaic solar system installed.
