Meet the SolarDev Solar and BESS Agent
One project-aware Solar and BESS Agent for development questions. It combines deterministic tools, project evidence and explicit engineering guardrails rather than behaving like generic chat.

Evidence-led action brief
“Review this feasibility-stage site and define the three actions needed before the next investment gate.”
01Validate the usable-area bridge against mapped exclusions.
02Confirm the grid option, route and authority evidence.
03Close material survey gaps before fixing capacity and CAPEX.
What it does and who it helps
A clearer way to assess solar and battery storage projects
SolarDev AI helps teams move from a potential utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) or battery energy storage system (BESS) site to a documented early-stage decision. It combines engineering guidance, controlled AI and practical tools, while keeping final judgement with qualified professionals.
Work through a clear process
Use guided AI workflows and defined calculations to screen opportunities, review risks and plan the next steps.
Keep decisions traceable
Record sources, assumptions and limitations so a qualified professional can review every important output.
Common professional uses
Four practical tasks that appear throughout early project development.
01
Opportunity screening
Compare potential sites, spot issues that could stop a project and identify what to investigate next.
Compare sitesIdentify constraintsDecide whether to proceed
02
Technical due diligence
Check project documents and source data, find missing information and organise the findings for review.
Check evidenceFind missing dataUnderstand technical risk
03
Development planning
Organise surveys, approvals and technical tasks in the order needed to move a project forward.
Plan next stepsAssign responsibilitiesTrack the programme
04
Risk and early cost estimates
Turn technical findings into a clear risk register and an initial range for capital costs (CAPEX).

Know what to do next with a potential site
SolarDev turns an early project boundary into a structured screening view: the core metrics, the constraints that need attention and a clear recommendation for the next development gate.

Frequently asked questions
Important information before purchasing
Information about professional use, AI responsibility, licensing, updates and customer support.
The public SolarDev GIS Site Check lets you upload or draw a candidate boundary, calculate gross area, perimeter and centroid, request an indicative PVGIS specific yield, inspect OpenStreetMap infrastructure context and export boundary or TMY files. It does not run constraint analysis on the public page. After saving a project, the authenticated GIS workspace can run separate source-based terrain, protected-area, flood-reporting, surface-water and infrastructure screens, create a preliminary screening index and export evidence reports.
SolarDev GIS Site Check and the Solar Geometry Tool are available now, alongside saved GIS projects, deterministic constraint screening, a preliminary screening index, PDF reports and CSV registers. The SolarDev Solar and BESS Agent is live with project context, deterministic solar and BESS calculations, and clearly labelled sources, assumptions and results.
No. The handbook focuses specifically on applying AI within controlled utility-scale Solar PV and BESS project-development workflows.
The methodology is model-independent and can be adapted to capable general-purpose AI systems. Outputs must always be reviewed against project information and authoritative sources.
No. AI is treated as a professional assistant. Responsibility for validation, recommendations and issued deliverables remains with qualified professionals.
The purchase includes the purchased edition and minor corrections issued for that edition. Major future volumes or expanded editions may be sold separately.
The standard purchase is for individual professional use. Team and corporate licensing can be requested through info@solardev.ai.
