“It has been easy to access important information and has made the decision-making process much smoother. By delving deeper into the regulations, number of solar farms in the area, and articles, I can ensure that our choices are leading to more successful outcomes overall.”

“With Transect, our comprehensive knowledge significantly boosts our credibility and greatly improves the probability of securing control over the site.”

Chief Development Officer Yarotek“Transect is our first go-to. It identifies all the features we need to consider - such as restricted areas, roadways, tree cover, transmission infrastructure, and water bodies - then outputs as a single file. After that initial pass, we really know what's happening on the local or county level.”
