Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention are directed to disaggregating the contribution of solar panels from a whole house energy profile. Methods of disaggregating energy produced by solar panels from low frequency whole-house energy consumption data for a specific house, may include steps of: predicting solar energy generation for the specific house by estimating a solar capacity of the solar panels, predicting solar intensity associated with the specific house, and multiplying estimated solar capacity with predicted solar intensity; and subtracting the predicted solar energy generation from the low frequency whole house energy consumption data, thereby disaggregating the contribution of energy produced by the solar panels. Computerized systems of the same may apply machine learning models such as radial basis function, support vector, or neural network machines.
