GIS Based Constraint Analysis
Identifying Grid and Infrastructure Constrains
A suitable solar site must not only provide sufficient land and solar irradiation but also access to grid infrastructure and technical connection capacity. Limited grid availability, long connection distances or insufficient network capacity can significantly affect project feasibility, development timelines and investment viability.
Voltares supports developers in identifying grid and infrastructure constraints at an early stage of project development. Through spatial analysis, grid screening and infrastructure assessments, we evaluate potential connection points, transmission and distribution network availability, and site accessibility. This early assessment helps developers prioritize viable locations and avoid costly development risks.
Tools
Preliminary assessment of grid connection options, including proximity to substations, voltage levels and potential connection feasibility.
Identification of technical and regulatory constraints such as land use, protected areas, zoning restrictions and topographical limitations.
Evaluation of site accessibility, transport routes and infrastructure availability relevant for construction and operation.
