This dataset offers a mapped representation of land parcels ideally suited for ground-mounted solar installations. It not only identifies these suitable parcels but also estimates their maximum potential energy generation in kilowatts (kW) and potential annual generation (MWh).

This dataset offers a mapped representation of land parcels ideally suited for ground-mounted solar installations. It not only identifies these suitable parcels but also estimates the maximum potential energy generation in kilowatts (kW) and potential annual generation (MWh) based on the land parcel’s area, orientation, slope, and potential constraints such as excluding flood zones, proximity to transport links, etc.
This information proves essential in making informed decisions about harnessing solar energy, maximising the utilisation of available land resources, and achieving energy generation goals in an environmentally sustainable manner.
