What exactly SolArk App do?

Our application uses meteorological and surfaces solar data parameters as a functional responsive web application for all mobile devices that takes critical data from NASA POWER PORTAL and transforms it into useful information for the user. For example: Carlos wants to know if he can place a solar panel in his house

Therefore, enter the app select the location and the query time range

The system communicates with NASA POWER PORTAL to obtain relevant climatological data of the area

With built-in charts, controls and calculations you can know easy-to-understand critical information such as how much energy it would produce and the cost savings

That you can then share with family, friends and technicians for the adoption of renewable energy

What makes us unique is that we translate scientific parameters into easy-to-understand graphs and numbers.

The responsive application adapts to all devices, both web and mobile

The update is independent of the operating system

And the most important thing is that we developed a functional prototype that is now available at this link, takes real data from NASA and gives useful information.

ow does SolArk App works? / Methodology

It uses a JSON file that contains data of irradiance, clearness index and temperatures. Then graph are generated using CLIENT-SERVER models, through micro-services, we connected the API. Then methods and functions were created to make this information easier to understand for everyone. We used an framework named ANGULAR to develope and program the web site.

Problem Faced

Space Agencies offers this data to the public, Nasa uses its portal Power, but when a regular user downloads the data desired the main problem is the interpretation and visualization of the data and this part may bring issues and make the user misunderstand or give up to work with this type of data.

Another perspective is from enterprises, in an example of this case is that some solar panel trademarks offer applications with the performance of the device, great use of SolArk is comparison and complementation of Data to improving the precision device vs conditions.

What benefits does it have? / Importance

• Provides renewable energy options and allows better decision making
• Optimize the configuration of solar panels
• Contrast NASA data with local measurements
• It gathers information on local renewable energy sources of great interest to NASA, other agencies and companies.

What do you hope to achieve?

We hope to be able to give relevant weather and solar information to anyone, from specialists to the common users and help them make better decisions on their devices by using important Information from the space agencies.

Tools, Coding Languages, Hardware/Software used to develop SolArk App.

We have used IDE's such as Visual Studio Code for Web Development and Python's own IDE for testing formulas and algorithms. Also Typescript for backend and frontend programming. Adobe Illustrator for app and web design before coding it. For video editing, we used Adobe Premiere.

Data Used

It's an API from NASA https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/

For SolArk App, We began using meteorological information and surface solar information from the NASA Power portal with the following parameters:

#Name all the parameters

And we look for the future use information mores agencies for comparisons and complementing data between Space Agencies.

#Look for more info in different Space agencies.

Our experience of space apps in Guayaquil was incredible, we received some conferences on technology in Latin America from successful companies in Ecuador. What we learned in our studies at the University was possible to put into practice this weekend, teamwork and organization were vital to complete all tasks on time.

We choose this challenge by the impact it is possible to achieve in renewable energies adoption and the number of users who can use our application to explore data renewable sources. Our prototype focuses on solar and wind energy, helping to inspire more people and businesses to invest in renewable energy.

Our team based the setbacks and challenges on communication and organization to solve any problems, in the case no one knows a topic, we research or consult our mentors.

We want to thank the host to improve year by year this competition and making it a different experience for all of us.
