Étude des variations des capacités électriques sur Caparéseau

L’énergie solaire en pleine expansion : les enjeux du raccordement au réseau électrique Ces dernières années, le secteur des énergies renouvelables en France a connu une véritable accélération avec une augmentation significative du nombre d’installations de panneaux solaires. En 2024, ce sont 4.6 GW qui ont été raccordés, témoignant de l’essor de l’énergie solaire photovoltaïque en […]

Optimizing Geospatial Workflows: Practical PostGIS Tricks

At Inicio, we manipulate terabytes of geographical data, utilizing both worldwide datasets and detailed regional ones. We process, store, and analyze this data to identify the best possible solar project locations in Europe. Most of the heavy lifting is handled by a PostGIS database—an industry-standard, battle-tested solution for geospatial data manipulation. When I started working […]

Anatomy of a mapserver: how to leverage and visualize your geographical data

At Inicio we built Eywa, an algorithm that can find the best solar power plant location, using billions of geographical data points. Sometimes, it can be hard to make sense of all this data: forests, wet areas, cadastral parcels, etc. To help our teams get a sense of what this data actually *looks* like, we […]

A new look: Revolutionizing Solar Plant Prospection with Automated Viewshed Analysis

Context Inicio’s promise is to identify the best locations for solar power plants using Eywa, our in-house algorithm. While there is an increasing need to develop Europe renewable energy production, finding places where this activity is compatible with the local contraints is not easy. This is especially true for Inicio where we aim at finding […]
