De-risk solar site selection & win the grid queue
PVcase Prospect is an all-in-one platform that streamlines early-stage solar project development by automating site assessment through unified grid, land, and environmental data, enabling developers to quickly identify high-value interconnection opportunities, accurately map constraints, and de-risk site selection to avoid costly delays and failures in the interconnection queue.
Early-stage development & feasibility
Win the interconnection queue — de-risk your site selection process in minutes.
The grid queue is a graveyard for unvalidated projects
The first 5% of your project analysis determines 95% of your project success — yet most teams lose months and millions chasing sites with hidden constraints. Go beyond basic parcel screening and uncover a site’s true viability — before you waste time and capital on the wrong location or interconnection queue.
Key project development challenges
Slow pipeline growth
Manual data aggregation and siloed prospecting tools prevent you from screening thousands of parcels at scale.
Inaccurate cost modeling
Starting preliminary design without a clear, data-backed view of land feasibility and associated earthwork challenges.
Interconnection risk
Blindly entering the queue without transparent data on substation capacity and estimated upgrade costs.
Wasted due diligence
Spending weeks on site assessments only to discover hidden environmental or land constraints too late.
The PVcase Prospect solution
PVcase Prospect is an all-in-one solution that unifies crucial grid, land, and project data on a single platform to automate site assessment and de-risk your pipeline at scale. Instantly evaluate land parcels, grid proximity, permitting challenges, and environmental constraints so your team invests only in the projects with the highest potential.
Why choose PVcase Prospect?
Spot high-value interconnection opportunities and bypass risks
Access more than just POI proximity — instantly visualize available offtake capacity and obtain substation upgrade cost estimates, enabling prioritization of the most viable opportunities in the queue.
Automate constraint mapping
Leverage advanced algorithms to accurately filter constraints (environmental, regulatory, topography) and maximize usable acreage, providing a more reliable foundation than simple parcel screening.
Grow pipeline with zero sunk costs
Screen thousands of parcels with automated checks in the time it takes manual teams to vet one, enabling massive scaling of your development pipeline without increasing wasted due diligence costs.
Generate preliminary layouts in one click
Automatically generate preliminary PV layouts based on topography and constraints to gain a rapid, accurate assessment of potential energy generation and land utilization before committing to full design — right in PVcase Prospect.
Move from site selection to design in 20 seconds
Eliminate the manual transfer time and data loss common when exporting from cloud tools to CAD. Populate PVcase Ground Mount with 3D topography and constraint maps from your PVcase Prospect assessment — in 20 seconds.
