道达尔和谷歌云合作开发预估太阳能潜力地图

据道琼斯10月13日消息，法国石油巨头道达尔周二表示，公司已与Alphabet旗下的谷歌云公司合作计划开发一款地图工具，该工具将更准确地评估人们家中的太阳能潜力。

这家法国能源公司表示，这款名为Solar Mapper的工具将通过使用比现有工具提供更好的卫星图像数据质量的算法，帮助加快个体太阳能电池板的部署。

道达尔表示，Solar Mapper还将提供更准确的太阳能潜力估算，以及更大的地理覆盖范围。道达尔表示，在法国，Solar Mapper的地理覆盖率超过90%。

道达尔首席技术官Marie-Noelle Semeria表示，将道达尔在太阳能方面的专长与谷歌云的数据库和人工智能相结合，将使该公司能够更快地将太阳能电池板部署到人们的屋顶上。道达尔表示，公司还计划将Solar Mapper应用于企业，目标是工商建筑和安装。

Total, Google Cloud Develop Tool to Map Solar Energy Potential

Total SE said Tuesday that it has joined with Alphabet Inc.'s Google Cloud to develop a mapping tool that will more accurately assess the solar-energy potential of people's homes.

The French energy company said the tool, which is called Solar Mapper, will help to accelerate the deployment of solar panels for individuals by using algorithms that provide better data quality from satellite images than current tools. Solar Mapper will also provide more accurate estimations of solar potential, the company said, as well as greater geographical coverage.

In France, Solar Mapper provides geographical coverage of more than 90%, the company said.

Combining Total's expertise in solar energy with Google Cloud's databases and artificial intelligence will allow the company to deploy solar panels to people's roofs more quickly, said Marie-Noelle Semeria, Total's chief technology officer.

The company said it also plans to apply Solar Mapper to businesses, targeting industrial and commercial buildings and installations.
