Abstract

Systems and automated methods for predicting photovoltaic (PV) generation are provided. Weather forecast data and present-day and historical PV generation data are provided to respective predictors. The predictors derive weighted predictions that are used to calculate a Bayesian model average. Near-future generation by the PV system is predicted using the Bayesian model average. Production rates, worker scheduling, hours of operation and other planning decisions can be made in accordance with the predicted near-future generation.
