We will discuss how we built a collaborative project to map potential sites of solar microgrids. Using satellite data and available socio-economic survey datasets, machine learning algorithms and geospatial analysis were implemented to create a comprehensive map of the suggested sites based on energy demand and supply. This project, made with love <3, was made to encourage citizen science and to collectively learn data tools to understand and propose solutions to the energy crisis in the country.
