Norwegian solar mapping software provider Glint Solar has introduced a land screening program designed to help users evaluate land across several US states for potential solar PV and battery energy storage projects. The program, launched last week, combines a land parcel search tool with criteria such as land steepness, local environment, and proximity to grid infrastructure, along with a map where users can draw restricted areas. It then identifies available regions meeting the criteria, ranked by buildable acreage and parcel count.
Two additional tools—area insights and buildable area—display constraint layers and generate a buildable footprint for a region. Users can export all information to a CSV file. The exact states covered remain unclear; Glint Solar’s LinkedIn mentions Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas, while its website lists Illinois, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. PV Tech has sought clarification.
Glint Solar CEO Simen Fure Jorgensen commented that the best opportunities are increasingly difficult to find, and the cost of pursuing wrong ones is rising. He said the land screening program allows developers to cast a wider net while retaining granular insight for confident decisions.
Grid connection shortages have long hindered renewable deployments in the US. Last year, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory reported that nearly 80% of new US energy projects awaiting grid connection withdrew applications due to approval delays. The same laboratory estimated the US grid connection backlog at 2.6TW by end of 2023, with standalone solar exceeding 1TW.
Glint Solar also announced plans to expand the program to Europe, aiming to deploy it in France and Germany in the coming weeks.
