Accelerate solar farm development with a focus on landscape integration and public support

Bring site selection, design, and public engagement together in one powerful workflow. By building support and reducing resistance, you accelerate development, from early exploration to permit application. Analyze grid congestion and identify where solar farms and battery storage can reinforce each other.

Discover

Visualizations

Show how your solar farm truly fits into the landscape. From a small field to a large-scale design, from the first sketch to the permit application. Using 2D maps, 3D designs, and 360° photos combined with mitigation measures, you can quickly and photorealistically visualize the impact, building support and accelerating acceptance.

Design solar farms with respect for the environment

Show what the solar farm looks like from every perspective and in any configuration, from public roads to private backyards. With 360° photos and integrated 3D models, you can convincingly show how mitigation measures, such as hedgerows or tree lines, reduce visual impact and enhance spatial quality.

World-Ready photomontages in one click

Generate instant photomontages based on Google Street View. Without the need for advance photography, EnergyPlanner blends 360° photos with accurate 3D visualizations to deliver a convincing and realistic view of your solar farm. Use the built-in calibration tool and SkyDetect© feature to precisely align and mask solar panels in the final visual. All this in just 5 minutes!

Easily add your own 360° photos

Capture and import a 360° photo with a single click, ideal when Google Street View is unavailable. Visualize the solar farm from a backyard, a balcony or deep within a nature reserve. You can also add 360° drone photos just as easily for a photorealistic aerial perspective.

Site Design & Mitigation

Design solar farms that blend into the landscape, meet all technical and functional requirements, and gain local support with realistic visualizations, mitigation measures and well-integrated grid infrastructure and energy storage.

Integrate solar layout, landscape and grid infrastructure in one design

Place solar panels in east-west or south-facing configurations and fine-tune every detail. Combine your solar farm with access roads, mitigation measures and energy storage systems and visualize your entire energy park instantly in 2D, 3D and 360° photos.

Boost biodiversity and build community support

Incorporate flowering borders, hedgerows or eco zones into your design and gain insight into proximity to protected nature. Strengthen both ecology and spatial quality while increasing acceptance from local communities and authorities.

Optimize solar farm design for regulation, perception and impact

Simulate visibility, reflection and other visual effects, and tailor your design to meet regulations and local preferences. Use alternative scenarios to convincingly justify your choices.

Map & Worldlayers

Gain complete spatial insight into your solar farm’s surroundings with detailed maps, terrain layers and elevation data. EnergyPlanner offers powerful geospatial tools that make site selection, design and stakeholder engagement easier, faster and more convincing — all without requiring GIS expertise.

Instant access to global map layers and your own GIS data

Use topographic maps, live satellite imagery and easily import public or custom GIS files. Design and analyze without needing advanced GIS skills.

Clarity from every angle, at any location

Combine elevation data accurate to <1 meter with realistic 3D visualizations of buildings, hedgerows, infrastructure and the solar farm that precisely follows the terrain. View the solar farm from any angle, on the map or in 3D. Ideal for landscape integration and gaining public support.

Design faster and smarter with intuitive tools

Sketch directly on the map, measure distances, compare scenarios, and work in any coordinate system. From early exploration to well-supported permit applications, all in one platform.
