ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION VOLUME ESTIMATING APPARATUS, ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION VOLUME ESTIMATING SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION AMOUNT ESTIMATING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new and improved electric power generation volume estimating apparatus which can estimate the volume of electric power generation per day by a photovoltaic electric power generator by using information on the photovoltaic electric power generator. PSOLUTION: The electric power generation volume estimating apparatus includes a photovoltaic electric power generator identifying unit which identifies a photovoltaic electric power generator that is exposed to the sunlight and generates electric power; a sunlight volume calculating unit which estimates and calculates the sunlight volume; and an electric power generation volume calculating unit which calculates the volume of electric power generated by the solar electric power generator, based on the solar electric power generator identified by the solar electric power generator identifying unit and information on a sunlight volume calculated by the sunlight volume calculating unit. Hence, the volume of electric power generation per day by the photovoltaic electric power generator can be estimated using the information on the identified photovoltaic electric power generator.
