Project Site Selection
When it comes to the development of large utility or commercial scale solar energy systems, comprehensive solar resource maps are a critical part of project site selection.While our free Solar Map of the World provides solar enthusiasts with an understanding of the distribution of the solar resource around the world, project developers and financiers can comfortably rely on Green Power Labs proprietary satellite-based toolset for high resolution solar resource mapping to reduce their technical risks and increase the certainty of financial outcomes for their large scale projects
Our customers use solar resource maps of different spatial resolution throughout each stage of project development to suit their unique needs. While initial solar project locating consideration may involve solar resource maps of low and medium resolution describing monthly resource averages, financial due diligence requires the development of bankable solar resource data based on high quality solar mapping and hourly solar resource averages. Our highly accurate solar resource maps are combined in GIS-based decision support systems with site specific information (land use, grid proximity, terrain and road access, etc.) to locate and rate candidate project sites and determine solar power generation potential
