General Description of the AI tool

BalkonSonne.App aims to promote renewable energy by offering a user-friendly app estimating the payback period of balcony solar systems. Using AI analysis of sky images, it recommends personalized system sizes, reducing costs and CO2 emissions. The innovation lies in automating complex shading analysis on smartphones, enhancing accessibility. The target audience includes balcony/terrace dwellers, initially focusing on environmentally conscious young adults. The project leverages open-source technologies and strives to open source parts of the code as well in the future.
