Your renewable energy infrastructure projects are far too expensive to make random decisions on siting. For many reasons – not the least of which are cost, efficiency and productivity – siting should be as exact as the science behind renewable energy itself. Visual assessments don’t cut it. Paper maps aren’t efficient. Most online maps don’t offer the amount of information
