Site Screening &
Due Diligence

Screen solar sites in minutes, not months. 12 parallel physics-based analysis modules generate 1,000+ data fields per site for rapid, data-driven due diligence.

Due Diligence Bottlenecks Are Delaying the Energy Transition

Utility-scale solar due diligence takes 3-6 months per site using traditional methods. With approximately 2,300 GW sitting in US interconnection queues (LBNL, 2025) and median wait times doubling to 4+ years from request to commercial operation, developers must screen hundreds of candidate sites rapidly to stay competitive.

20% of planned solar capacity reports schedule delays (EIA, Q3 2025). Each month of delay costs $50K–$150K in carrying costs for a typical 100 MW project. Manual geotechnical, environmental, and hazard assessments create critical bottlenecks when development teams need to evaluate sites at scale.

12 Parallel Physics Modules. 1,000+ Data Fields. Minutes, Not Months.

Earthflow's physics-based analysis engine runs 12 independent modules simultaneously, assessing any US location in 2-5 minutes. Each analysis generates 1,000+ data fields spanning soil, hydrology, seismicity, wind, vegetation, erosion, and infrastructure — synthesized into a Site Viability Score (0-100) with automated red-flag identification and actionable recommendations.
Parallel Analysis Engine
12 modules run simultaneously: SSURGO soil, GEE satellite, flood risk, seismic hazard, wind, SMAP moisture, precipitation, erosion (RUSLE), hail, fire risk, evapotranspiration, and design parameters.
📊
Site Viability Scoring
43+ KPIs synthesized into a composite viability score. Construction risk, insurance premiums, financing costs, and O&M factors all quantified per site.
🤖
Cirra AI Assessment
Natural-language site assessment across 6 domains: geotechnical, topography, erosion, hazards, vegetation, and infrastructure. Returns red flags, cost implications, and foundation recommendations.
📄
Instant PDF Reports
Generate branded 20-30 page reports in seconds. Executive summaries, geotechnical deep-dives, or full-site reports with embedded satellite imagery. Ready for investment committees.

Quantified Benefits of Physics-Informed Site Screening

Replace months of manual desktop studies with minutes of automated, physics-based analysis. Every data point is sourced from authoritative federal datasets — USDA SSURGO, FEMA flood zones, USGS seismic hazard maps, NASA SMAP, Google Earth Engine, NOAA Atlas14, and more.
