2017-2019, Sunnova Energy Corporation, Houston, TX

• Company Mission: To install and finance rooftop solar systems and battery storage systems for residential energy customers.

• Position: Full Stack / Mobile Developer

​

AI Contributions:

• Automated the quality assurance inspection work for solar system installs, which were accomplished by engineers directly reviewing photographs of installed system components. Developed a deep learning system featuring a convolutional neural network utilizing object detection to automate part of the review of the photos to identify equipment installs and to extract serial numbers to a database.  Features YOLO, OpenCV, C/C++, Python, Supervised Learning, AWS (S3 and SQS), PostgreSQL

• Modeled National Solar Radiation Data using LSTM network to supplement the published data, which included from 8%-30% error in the NOAA solar radiation data attributed to a local weather station. The objective was to effectively generalize the weather station data over the local regions of the US and more consistently predict the solar radiation, providing a shadow system to support better financial predictions. Python, TensorFlow, Keras, Jupyter, Supervised Learning
