Summary
This case study details the experience of a utility-scale solar developer who faced challenges in the site selection process for solar projects. Initially, the developer found the traditional methods to be burdensome and time-consuming, requiring hundreds of hours to identify viable sites across an area of approximately 30 million acres. The lack of a systematic approach led to inconsistencies among team members and difficulties in tracking the search progress. To address these issues, the developer engaged with Transect, which provided a site selection tool that significantly streamlined the process. The collaboration resulted in a reduction of the site selection time from hundreds of hours to just a few hours, with the identification of 58 viable sites within a matter of days. The case study outlines the parameters and business logic used in the search, emphasizing the improved efficiency, consistency, and confidence achieved through the Transect solution.
