Abstract
A method for estimating and forecasting an energy production indicator for a solar system. The method comprises, in particular, the steps of: a) receiving images of the sky taken from the ground, each image comprising an optical marker; b) extracting values of pixels and locating of image pixels from the received images; c) determining distances between the located pixels and the optical marker of the image; d) generating a vector of parameters from a pixel classification, according to the extracted values and the determined distances; e) comparing parameters of the generated vector with predetermined parameters, the predetermined parameters being respectively associated with energy production indicators; f) estimating the energy production indicator of the solar system from energy production indicators of the predetermined parameters compared to the generated vector.
