GIS and satellite analysis for energy projects

From the first search for land to the years a plant runs. We find sites that work, watch them from orbit while they are built, and map what needs attention once they run.

Energy projects are decided on land: where the resource is good, the slope works, the grid is close and nothing protected stands in the way. Our renewable energy land screening combines those layers into suitability maps and ranked shortlists for solar parks, wind farms and battery storage, so the weak sites are ruled out before money is spent on them.

Once a site is chosen, we keep watching it. Satellite imagery shows how construction moves, where panels and turbines stand, and, on a running solar park, where the grass between the rows needs mowing, so crews go only where they are needed.

Our screening covers solar farm suitability, wind energy screening, battery storage siting, grid-connection analysis and environmental constraints screening, all feeding utility-scale project feasibility analysis.

Questions about energy projects.

01Can you find sites for a wind farm?

Yes. We combine wind resource, distance from homes, slope, land cover, protected areas and grid distance into one suitability map and a ranked shortlist.

02Can you screen land for battery storage?

Yes. We rank parcels by grid distance, land constraints and access, and show why each one ranks where it does.

03Do you help once a solar park is running?

Yes. From very-high-resolution satellite imagery we map where the grass between the rows needs mowing, so crews go only where they are needed.

04Can you follow construction from satellite imagery?

Yes. We compare images over time and map what was built, cleared or changed on the site.

05Can you find solar panels and wind turbines on imagery?

Yes. We detect them with machine-learning models and deliver them as a map layer you can count, filter and update.

06Which technologies do you screen for?

Solar, wind and battery storage.

07Can you screen large areas / portfolios?

Yes — the models are built to run across large areas and re-run as criteria change.

08Do you include environmental constraints?

Yes — protected areas, hazards and regulatory limits are part of the screening.

09What do we get at the end?

Suitability models, constraint maps, ranked shortlists and a screening database.
