Solar Site Assessment & Viability Reports

Real PVGIS and NASA climate data combined with drone terrain analysis to tell you exactly how much solar energy your land can generate — and whether the economics make sense.

Assess Your Land for Solar

Why Solar in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica receives some of the highest solar irradiance in the Western Hemisphere. Combined with favourable ICE net-metering rules, landowners are increasingly converting idle land into income.

2,000+
kWh/m²/yr typical CR irradiance

Guanacaste and Puntarenas consistently rank among the highest solar resources in Central America.

±3cm
Terrain accuracy

LiDAR-grade elevation data ensures slope and shading calculations are site-accurate.

Solar Irradiance Assessment

Full irradiance profile for your parcel using PVGIS annual kWh/kWp/yr and NASA POWER solar radiation data. Includes sunshine hours per year and optimal panel tilt angle for your latitude.

  • PVGIS + NASA POWER data integration
  • Site-specific irradiance map
  • Shading analysis from DTM

System Sizing & ROI

Based on available land area and slope, we estimate installable system capacity, annual energy production, ICE grid tie-in distance, and payback period at current Costa Rica electricity rates.

  • System size estimate in kWp
  • Annual production estimate in kWh
  • Payback period estimate
  • Grid proximity from ICE data

Terrain & Slope Survey

LiDAR-derived DTM to identify flat and gently sloped zones optimal for panel placement. Includes drainage analysis and access road routing for construction planning.

  • 5 cm terrain model
  • Slope classification map
  • Buildable zone overlay
  • DXF output

Wind & Climate Data

Wind speed at 10 m and 50 m elevation, rainfall in mm/yr, and average temperature — all sourced from 25 years of NASA POWER climate records for your exact coordinates.

  • 25-year climate averages
  • Wind rose diagram
  • Seasonal production variation

Supported Regions

We cover all provinces of Costa Rica. Guanacaste parcels typically score highest for solar viability.
