"I love the idea of taking on the big guys. Well done! Excited to see this come to market as the price charged by the big players is egregious!!!"
Foundation-Level Data
Energy Resources
AI at Every Level
From individual site analysis to portfolio-wide insights — AI that works the way you do.
AI Project Assistant
Deep analysis on every site
Ask any question about a solar site and get expert-level answers grounded in real data. The assistant reviews irradiance, terrain, constraints, and financials — surfacing insights that would take hours to find manually.
Pipeline Analysis
Rank and optimize your portfolio
Turn portfolio data into immediate action. AI synthesizes your pipeline to rank sites by opportunity, surface missing data, and tell you exactly where to focus your resources.

Five Simple Steps
From map to actionable solar insights
Step 1: Start with the Map
Open Site Studio and explore your project area on an interactive map. Pin your exact location by address or coordinates - the map becomes your visual workspace for solar planning.
Step 2: Layer Your Data
Toggle solar radiation data from PVGIS and NREL, transmission lines, flood zones, and infrastructure layers directly onto the map. See all critical site factors in one visual interface with instant solar data summaries.
Step 3: Run AI Analysis
Select your data layers and the AI Assistant provides comprehensive site assessments. As you choose locations, the AI instantly analyzes relevant solar data and delivers detailed evaluations including transmission line analysis, flood risk evaluation, and environmental considerations.
Step 4: Chat with Your AI Assistant
Ask questions about annual solar potential, ROI projections, system sizing, or site constraints. Your AI assistant has full context of your location and loaded data layers to provide detailed, location-specific analysis and recommendations.
Step 5: Save and Resume
Save your project with all map data, analysis, and AI conversation history. Access your projects anytime from My Site Projects - resume your work exactly where you left off with all context preserved.
Skip the busywork
- Automatic grid feasibility — Instantly see grid hosting capacity, utility provider, and interconnection potential. No separate research needed.
- AI that analyzes for you — Select your data layers and the AI Project Assistant breaks down solar potential, flood risk, transmission access, and grid capacity. Real data, not guesswork.
- NREL, FEMA, and HIFLD in one view — Overlay solar irradiance, flood zones, and transmission lines on a single map. Data that takes hours to gather, ready in seconds.
- Predictable pricing — Simple monthly plans starting at $9/mo. No per-project fees, no hidden credits. Upgrade when you need more.
- Built for the decision, not the design — Screen sites before committing to full engineering. Know if a location is viable before spending thousands on design software.
