Story line
We follow the daily activities of a fictional character Maria, a solar energy engineer in charge of the creation of a new solar project. She must use GIS software to identify the most suitable site regarding the solar technology, then collects diverse solar radiation datasets (ground, satellite and numerical weather models) that she needs to validate and combine to create the bankable report to receive some funding from the banks. A banker also came to the training to give Maria key assets to increase their chance to receive the funds. Finally, she has to operate and monitor the plant and has the constraint to plan what the plant is injecting in the network.
