During February 2025, Neghadly contributed to the dataforgoodfr/13_potentiel_solaire repository by developing a GeoJSON to GeoPackage (GPKG) data conversion feature within the extract_sample_data.py pipeline. This work introduced idempotent conversion logic, selective processing, and data preservation to streamline geospatial workflows and ensure reliable, revision-safe data packaging. Neghadly also implemented shadow analysis notebooks for assessing solar potential in Saint-Denis, using Python, Geopandas, and Jupyter Notebooks to calculate and visualize seasonal shadow projections for school buildings. Maintenance included resolving merge conflicts and removing obsolete notebooks, resulting in a more robust, reproducible data pipeline for solar energy analysis and GIS applications.
February 2025 – Monthly summary for dataforgoodfr/13_potentiel_solaire Key deliverables: - GeoJSON to GPKG data conversion for solar data: Extended extract_sample_data.py to support GeoJSON→GPKG conversion with a dedicated convert_geojson_to_gpkg function, skip-if-exists to avoid redundant downloads, and options for selective conversion and data preservation. This streamlines GIS workflows and ensures consistent, revision-safe data packaging. - Shadow analysis notebooks and tooling for solar potential in Saint-Denis: Implemented shadow projection calculations for school buildings and created notebooks to analyze and visualize shadows across seasons, enabling more accurate solar potential assessments. Included cleanup of obsolete notebooks and merge-conflict resolutions to maintain notebook integrity. Major bugs fixed / maintenance: - Resolved notebook conflicts and recovered the latest versions; removed obsolete notebooks to reduce confusion. - Introduced idempotent data conversion behavior (skip-if-exists) to enhance robustness and prevent unnecessary recomputation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened the data processing pipeline from raw GeoJSON sources to GIS-ready GPKG packages, improving reliability, reproducibility, and data usability for solar potential analyses. - Accelerated decision-making support by delivering ready-to-use data formats and insightful seasonal shadow analyses for Saint-Denis. Technologies / skills demonstrated: - Python scripting and code refactoring; GIS data formats (GeoJSON, GeoPackage GPKG); data conversion tooling with selective processing and data preservation. - Git-based collaboration, conflict resolution, and maintenance of notebooks; Jupyter notebooks for data analysis and visualization; shadow projection algorithms. Business value: - Reduced data processing time and redundancy, enabling faster GIS workflows and more accurate solar potential assessments for targeted locations.
