MonalisaThomas/Tanzania-Solar-Suitability

An interactive geospatial analysis identifying high-potential solar energy corridors in Tanzania using 40 years of climate reanalysis data. # Tanzania Regions Solar Potential Analysis ## Project Overview This project uses **Google Earth Engine (GEE)** and the **ERA5-Land** dataset to map solar energy potential across Tanzania. By analyzing surface solar radiation data, I identified the most suitable regions for renewable energy development. ## Tech Stack - **Analysis:** Google Earth Engine (Python API) - **Visualization:** `geemap` & `folium` - **Data Source:** ECMWF ERA5-Land (40-year climate reanalysis) ## Key Insights - Identified high-radiation zones in central and western Tanzania. - Created an interactive map to visualize solar suitability at a national scale.
