description Currently, the world is actively responding to climate change problems. There is significant research interest in renewable energy generation, with focused attention on solar photovoltaic (PV) generation. Therefore, this study developed an accurate and precise solar PV generation prediction model for several solar PV power plants in various regions of South Korea to establish stable supply-and-demand power grid systems. To reflect the spatial and temporal characteristics of solar PV generation, data extracted from satellite images and numerical text data were combined and used. Experiments were conducted on solar PV power plants in Incheon, Busan, and Yeongam, and various machine learning algorithms were applied, including the SARIMAX, which is a traditional statistical time-series analysis method. Furthermore, for developing a precise solar PV generation prediction model, the SARIMAX-LSTM model was applied using a stacking ensemble technique that created one prediction model by combining the advantages of several prediction models. Consequently, an advanced multisite hybrid spatio-temporal solar PV generation prediction model with superior performance was proposed using information that could not be learned in the existing single-site solar PV generation prediction model.
