Welcome to the DeepPVMapper community!

To help us get to know each other and help me guide the development of the project, feel free to reply to this thread with a brief introduction:

• Who are you? (OSM contributor, local government employee, researcher, developer, enthusiast...)
• What is your use case? More concretely, if you had access to a comprehensive and open database of solar panels in your area, what would you use it for? (e.g. local climate and energy planning, solar potential assessment, grid balancing, academic research...)

Looking forward to hearing how you plan to use this data!

Hi! CNRS Researcher here, geographer, spatialising renewable electricity developments (PV and wind) in France to investigate issues of energy justice and access to electricity. I am particularly interested in the Île-de-France region and the Paris municipality as part of the Région Île-de-France-funded science-to-society project, IJET-IDF which I chair and which aims to provide precise and accessible information on the region's current 'new' electrification (location of infrastructures, grid planification, directionality of investment flows) to local decision-makers and citizens. Updates to the open database of solar panels in the Île-de-France region are very useful for the I.JET project which aims at delivering an open-data geovisualization tool addressing the spatialities of renewable developments in the Region.

Hi! Thank you for the update and for dropping by here!

It’s great to see DeepPVMapper's dataset being useful for your work on energy justice and renewable deployment! I'm looking forward to your results.

Let me know if I can help with anything specific on the data side, and it'll be a pleasure to take this further!
