Potential Analysis for Ground-Mounted Photovoltaics
Ever larger ground-mounted solar parks are being planned and will need to be connected to the grid in the coming decades. Project planners are faced with the challenge of identifying potentially suitable areas over large areas and grid operators are confronted with the need to plan the grid with foresight. In both cases, there is a lack of clearly defined, evaluated potential areas to facilitate an assessment.

Our offer
- Identification of existing installations
To better classify the status quo, all existing installations are taken from the market master data register and displayed on maps
- Germany-wide or regional white space analysis
We carry out an analysis for you of all fundamentally suitable areas in Germany, your grid area or on another regional basis. We first update all basic data and then remove all excluded areas such as settlements, roads, forests, etc. The result is an area-specific geodata set of all available areas
- Evaluation of identified areas using spatial resistance classes
In the next step, we assess the suitability of the identified white areas. Different spatial resistance classes, such as nature conservation areas, are applied to the individual areas in order to assess the general feasibility of infrastructure measures. The inclusion of further criteria such as proximity to the nearest grid connection point, topography or location in a risk area helps to evaluate the areas even more clearly
- Designation for the EEG landscape or outside it
We designate the potential areas both for the currently valid EEG backdrop (around freeways and railroads as well as agriculturally disadvantaged areas) and for all other available areas
- Area-specific generation potential and time series
If required, we also determine hourly generation time series for the identified potential areas based on historical weather data
- Evaluation of expansion scenarios
To compare how the potential areas are compatible with the respective expansion figures of the federal and state governments, we can calculate various expansion scenarios for you on request
- Comprehensive preparation
We provide you with the results data as a geodata set for further processing in a GIS program, as visualized maps and as EXCEL or CSV files together with a report.
Our many years of experience in the field of geodata analysis and expertise in renewable energies form the basis of our services. We work transparently, with up-to-date geodata and in accordance with legal requirements.
