Deep Learning Approach for Solar Irradiance Forecasting: A Moroccan Case Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Due to its influence on applications such as renewable energy generation, solar irradiance data, and meteorological parameters have risen in prominence. However, developing an accurate model for predicting solar irradiance based on multiple weather parameters remains a challenging issue. As a novelty, a multi-horizon forecasting scheme ranging from 1 to 3 days ahead is studied in the present work. A SeqtoSeq model architecture to forecast global horizontal irradiance based on Masen’s dataset. Univariate and multivariate SeqtoSeq models are implemented to forecast global horizontal irradiance (GHI) based on Masen’s dataset. Moreover, the performance of the proposed models was compared against other models such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The obtained results reveal that the proposed multivariate model outperforms all the other models and improves prediction in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) by 42.49, 48.29, and 47.78% for 1 day ahead, 2 days ahead, and 3 days ahead, respectively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
