THE OPERATIONAL BOTTLENECK & CHALLENGE

The client had candidate areas for solar deployment and no defensible way to choose between them. Terrain, shading from surrounding relief, slope and aspect, and land-use restrictions all changed the answer, but assessing each site by hand was slow and the reasoning was impossible to reproduce for anyone reviewing the decision.

THE CUSTOM ARCHITECTURE & SOLUTION

We modelled incoming solar radiation across the study area from elevation data, accounting for slope, aspect and terrain shadowing through the year, then layered exclusion masks for unsuitable land use and constrained areas. The scoring was packaged into a customised GIS toolbox, so the client can change assumptions and re-run the ranking themselves, and every ranked site comes with the reasoning behind its score.
