Global Solar Atlas
The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally. It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and
From the spatial distribution characteristics of PV solar panels in 2022 (Fig. 7a), global PV is concentrated in the middle and low latitudes, and there is little PV distribution in high latitudes. Besides, PV solar panels are mostly distributed in densely populated areas of the world except Africa.
In the temporal analysis of global PV solar panels for 2019–2022, the global area of PV solar panels for each year 2019–2022 was first counted. In 2019 the global area of PV was 3831.6 km 2, and in 2022 the area of PV grows to 6469.8 km 2, the growth is 2638.2 km 2. The overall growth rate of PV solar panel area is more than 60%.
Due to the prior participation in training U-Net with PV solar panel labels covering various background types such as cultivated land, forest land, artificial surfaces, deserts, mountains, and water bodies, in the first stage, a relatively rich set of PV solar panels could be identified as positive samples for the second stage classification.
We developed a new method to identify PV panels globally, producing an annual 20-meter resolution dataset for 2019–2022. This dataset offers unprecedented detail and accuracy for future research and policy-making. A two-stage PV classification framework was built using U-Net and positive unlabelled learning with random forest (PUL-RF).
