Solar Farm Site Assessment
Intermap's 3D data and terrain intelligence help renewable energy developers better understand site conditions, environmental constraints and project feasibility.
In the southern French Alps, NEXTMap data was used to evaluate terrain and environmental factors associated with solar park development, helping stakeholders make more informed decisions regarding project planning and land use.
From site selection and feasibility studies to infrastructure planning and environmental assessment, Intermap provides the trusted 3D data, terrain intelligence and geospatial analytics needed to accelerate renewable energy development worldwide.
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Learn how Intermap supports renewable energy planning with elevation data, slope, aspect, canopy height and geospatial intelligence for site selection, accessibility, infrastructure planning and project development.
Elevation data helps renewable energy developers evaluate accessibility, slope, aspect, drainage and other site conditions during site selection, planning and development.
Elevation data helps identify terrain conditions, slope, aspect and surrounding land characteristics that may affect solar project suitability, accessibility and development.
Elevation data supports site exploration, analysis of terrain features which impact wind flow, road planning and infrastructure development for wind energy projects.
Slope measures how steep the terrain is, while aspect identifies the direction a slope faces; understanding both helps developers evaluate site suitability and project design.
Yes. Elevation, slope, aspect, land characteristics and other geospatial information can help developers screen large areas and identify locations with the highest energy output potential.
Yes. Intermap provides elevation and geospatial data across regional, national and global areas to support renewable energy projects from initial site exploration through the detailed planning stages of a project.
