About

What is SolarScope?

SolarScope is an AI-powered platform designed for solar engineering and site planning, leveraging real-time data from NASA, NREL, and FEMA. It enables users to visualize solar potential, transmission lines, and site constraints on an interactive map through its Site Studio. The platform offers AI-powered analysis and guidance, including an AI Project Assistant that provides deep insights on every site, analyzing irradiance, terrain, constraints, and financials. SolarScope also features cross-project intelligence for pipeline analysis, allowing users to rank and optimize their portfolio. It integrates critical data layers like solar radiation, flood zones, and grid infrastructure, making it ideal for screening sites before committing to full engineering design.

Best used for

Ideal for solar developers, consultants, and property owners who need to quickly screen potential solar sites, analyze project feasibility, and optimize their project pipeline. Especially valuable for rapidly assessing grid capacity, flood risk, and solar potential using integrated data from NREL, NASA, and FEMA.

FAQs

What data sources does SolarScope use for its analysis?

SolarScope integrates data from trusted sources including NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) for solar irradiance, NASA POWER API for worldwide energy resources, HIFLD (Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data) for transmission lines, and FEMA for flood zones. ArcGIS is also used for global solar data.

How does SolarScope compare to design tools like Aurora Solar or HelioScope?

SolarScope is primarily a site screening and analysis tool, designed to evaluate whether a location is viable before committing to full engineering. In contrast, tools like Aurora Solar and HelioScope are engineering design tools focused on detailed panel layouts and system design. SolarScope helps you decide if a site is worth designing.

What regions are supported by SolarScope?

The deepest data coverage, including grid hosting capacity, FEMA flood zones, and HIFLD transmission lines, is available for the US. Global solar irradiance data is provided worldwide through PVGIS (Europe) and ArcGIS. SolarScope is continuously adding more regional data sources.
