Utility-scale solar takes up space. Lots of it. As land competition increasingly becomes an issue, dual-use solar presents an answer: mixing in crops, livestock, and pollinators among solar farms maximizes the efficiency of land usage. As one developer puts it, "Wind energy is dual use. Solar will have to be, too." Solesca's user-friendly interface and proprietary AI make designing any kind of utility-scale solar plant a breeze, allowing you to tackle more installations, faster.
Solar development companies currently pay 100% of the rental cost for the land used in their utility-scale solar projects, even though they only use 30-40% of the land space. On top of that, it is becoming increasingly difficult for solar developers to find land that is fit for their utility-scale solar projects.
Dual-use solar offers a potential solution to the land competition & inefficiency issues that have limited the potential growth and application of utility-scale solar projects throughout the United States. By mixing solar with crops, livestock, and pollinator species solar developers can maximize the efficiency and land-use of their utility-scale solar projects.
Solesca's novel software program provides solar developers with the ability to design and install utility-scale solar projects with ease, and at a lower cost than ever. Unlike traditional solar software programs, Solesca allows solar developers to design dual-use projects, making it your all-in-one solar design platform.
Our easy-to-use user interface allows your to create a detailed map of the plot of land you wish to develop. In the case of farmland, easily specify crops and paths for farming equipment.
Our AI maximizes the parameter of your choice: revenue, profit, MW, or MWh. We ensure that crop yields are optimized for the farmer while giving you the best panel configuration.
Help farmers visualize what agrivoltaics would look like on their farm. Our algorithms ensure that crops receive adequate sunlight and water, allowing your sales team to collaborate and meet the needs of your customers.
