ABOUT THE SOLUTION -
FEATURES OF THE SOLUTION:
Our main motive in this solution (ZENCO) is to
enhance the energy utilization through a better
AI and an integrated platform for the user. With
this solution, you can not only manage the
energy that is generated from the solar panels
but it also understands the user’s daily routine
and organize the devices automatically in the
software to gain the maximum efficiency/energy
and decrease the amount of energy for
unwanted devices.
“The prediction of the energy usage is based
upon the weather forecasts and the data of the
previous energy generated by a solar panel and
provide how much energy may be produced in
the upcoming days.”

TECHNOLOGIES STACK
The below are some of the technologies that we will be using to build ZENCO
ANDROID & WEB APPLICATION
We will be making an android application and website
for the user to work with the ZENCO. So, we are going
to use different technologies such as JS,PHP, SASS for
the website and Kotlin for the application.
NOSQL DATABASE
We will be using the NoSQL database because it stores
all the information inside the device when it is offline and
one the network it pushes it to the database. The read
and writes of the database is also very fast compared to
any other database.
SOLCAST FRAMEWORK
With the help of the sol cast framework, we will be able
to easily visualize the data provided by the solar panel in
the past week and provide the approximate energy
generation in the upcoming week.
DATA FROM THE NREL
NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) has done
a huge amount of research in photovoltaic panels and we
will use this open source data to increase the efficiency
of the algorithm and to get the exact amount of
electricity produced by the solar panels
REACT & REDUX FOR DASHBOARD
We know that if a UI of an application is not great then
even if the software is great it is of no use. So, we will be
using the react and redux for the front end development
of the application
CHART JS FRAMEWORK
We will be using the CHART JS open source library to
display the amount of energy being generated by the
solar panel. This will help the user to understand more
about the energy that is generated from the solar panel.
DATA VISUALIZATION
We will be using the seaborn data visualization library
instead of the matplotlib library because it is built upon
the matplotlib but very much attractive than it.
MACHINE LEARNING
We will be using the Scikit-Learn library to understand
the daily routines of the user and change the patterns of
the software according to it.
