Utility-scale solar, greenfield to COD
Parcel screening, queue strategy, ordinance-aware layouts, 8760 yield, and project finance in one system instead of six.
The same project, two timelines
Sequential diligence finds the fatal flaw in month twelve. Parallel screening finds it before the first deposit.
Identify sites
Parcels, ordinances, environmental, and grid layers screened on one map.
Headroom and queue depth at every candidate POI.
Run the grid screen
DC power flow at the POI: injection headroom, N-1 contingencies, upgrade cost estimate.
Lay out and price
Ordinance-aware layout, 8760 yield, and a reference model in the same session.
Advance or drop
Keep the sites that clear. Drop the rest before any deposit. Next parcel the same day.
Unlike manual site selection, Basepoint lets you:
One end-to-end platform. Consistent progress, fewer disruptions, faster delivery.
Run automated screening
Setbacks, slope, wetlands, habitat, and ordinances applied to the parcel in seconds.
Collaborate in one place
One project record for the team and its consultants. No stale decks.
Find parcels fast
Parcel and owner data nationwide. Filter by acreage, zoning, and grid proximity.
Get preliminary layouts
An ordinance-aware layout with 8760 yield in seconds.
Score the parcel before the site visit
Waters, floodplain, species, grid, permits, and local regulation run against the parcel at once, with every criterion scored and sourced.
Design on the actual boundary
Setbacks, exclusions, and module rows on the real parcel. Capacity and yield update as the layout changes.
Finance the design you drew
The layout feeds the model. Change the tracker or the PPA and watch IRR move.
Frequently asked questions
What project sizes is Basepoint built for?
Basepoint is used across distributed and utility-scale solar. The screening, interconnection, design, and finance tools scale from single sites to multi-state origination programs.
Which regions does Basepoint cover?
US coverage across PJM, MISO, ERCOT, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, and SPP, plus non-ISO regions, with county-level parcel, ordinance, and environmental data nationwide.
Can my existing pipeline be imported?
Yes. Basepoint imports projects and models from Excel, CSV, shapefiles, and common energy tools, and most teams are fully onboarded within a week.
How does Basepoint handle county solar ordinances?
Setbacks, height limits, and moratoria are tracked by jurisdiction and applied directly in screening and layout, so a site that fails an ordinance is flagged before you option it.
Is the 8760 yield run on the real layout?
Yes. Yield runs on the generated layout with the tracker, pitch, and DC to AC ratio you set, and it feeds the reference financial model directly. Bankable reports still come from your independent engineer.
How is queue data kept current?
Queue positions, cluster windows, and posted study results refresh from the ISOs with change history, and agents can flag movement at your candidate points of interconnection.
