Parcel data for solar developers

What you can do with it

Screen counties for large, dry, open parcels before land agents and interconnection studies spend time on them.

What each parcel record holds

Measured over each parcel boundary: the average daily solar radiation (kWh per square metre), soil slope, farmland class and crop type, land cover and forest, the share in the 100-year flood zone, the share that is wetland, and wildfire, tornado and hurricane history. Every record also holds the property address, the owner of record and the mailing address where the record has them (most Maryland, New Jersey and Washington records have no owner name; most Washington records have no mailing address), the land use code and the acreage. The parcel record and the earth observation catalog list every field.
