The integration of solar energy with a power system brings great economic and environmental benefits. However, the high penetration of solar power challenges the operation and planning of the existing power system owing to the intermittence and randomicity of solar power generation. Achieving accurate prediction for power generation is important to provide balanced electric energy for end-users. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a deep learning-based dual stream Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to learn spatial patterns using CNN and temporal features via the LSTM network. These features are then fused via a concatenation layer and then feed forward to Dense layers for optimal features selection and future solar power prediction. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated on benchmark datasets and achieved a new state-of-the-art on these datasets.
