據道瓊斯10月13日消息，法國石油巨頭道達爾周二表示，公司已與Alphabet旗下的谷歌云公司合作計劃開發一款地圖工具，該工具將更準確地評估人們家中的太陽能潛力。

這家法國能源公司表示，這款名為Solar Mapper的工具將通過使用比現有工具提供更好的衛星圖像數據質量的算法，幫助加快個體太陽能電池板的部署。

道達爾表示，Solar Mapper還將提供更準確的太陽能潛力估算，以及更大的地理覆蓋范圍。道達爾表示，在法國，Solar Mapper的地理覆蓋率超過90%。

道達爾首席技術官Marie-Noelle Semeria表示，將道達爾在太陽能方面的專長與谷歌云的數據庫和人工智能相結合，將使該公司能夠更快地將太陽能電池板部署到人們的屋頂上。道達爾表示，公司還計劃將Solar Mapper應用于企業，目標是工商建筑和安裝。

Total, Google Cloud Develop Tool to Map Solar Energy Potential

Total SE said Tuesday that it has joined with Alphabet Inc.'s Google Cloud to develop a mapping tool that will more accurately assess the solar-energy potential of people's homes.

The French energy company said the tool, which is called Solar Mapper, will help to accelerate the deployment of solar panels for individuals by using algorithms that provide better data quality from satellite images than current tools. Solar Mapper will also provide more accurate estimations of solar potential, the company said, as well as greater geographical coverage.

In France, Solar Mapper provides geographical coverage of more than 90%, the company said.

Combining Total's expertise in solar energy with Google Cloud's databases and artificial intelligence will allow the company to deploy solar panels to people's roofs more quickly, said Marie-Noelle Semeria, Total's chief technology officer.

The company said it also plans to apply Solar Mapper to businesses, targeting industrial and commercial buildings and installations.
