Revolutionizing solar plant prospection with automated viewshed analysis
Our solution - Eywa - identifies optimal locations for solar plants, considering visibility constraints.
In the best case scenario you will ask a GIS (Geographic Information System) expert to perform a “Viewshed analysis” (more explanations in the next section) but this process will still be manual and highly dependent on your datasets quality. While we could’ve claimed to develop a fully automated algorithm capable of removing areas that are visible by too many viewpoints, we strongly believe that for such projects we can’t bypass human expertise. Which corresponds to our viewshed analysis output Our tool has greatly improved our prospection team capabilities to identify suitable Solar plant locations and is used every day at different steps in our project lifecycle.
