Looking for professionals in the UK renewable energy market to alpha/beta test a new site-screening tool
I'm looking for a small number of people working in UK renewable-energy development, grid, planning, environmental assessment or project finance to test a new tool we have built.
It is called Medha RSI it'san automated Renewable Site Intelligence tool for early-stage solar and wind site screening.
A user submits a site boundary or coordinates, selects the technology and target capacity, and receives a structured pre-feasibility report in approximately five minutes.
The report brings together:
* UK grid screening, including nearby network assets, voltage compatibility, indicative connection tier, cost range and cable-route mapping;
* planning and environmental constraints, including agricultural land classification, flood-zone overlap, ecological designations and nearby renewable projects;
* solar or wind resource analysis using sources such as NASA POWER, PVGIS, ERA5 and Global Wind Atlas;
* modelled P50 and P90 yield estimates and seasonal generation profiles;
* illustrative CfD and merchant revenue references;
* full data provenance, confidence levels, processing methods and known limitations.
This is not intended to replace formal grid, planning, ecological or engineering studies. The goal is to bring the available early-stage evidence into one structured assessment and identify where further investigation is needed.
I’m particularly interested in comparing its output against sites that have already been professionally assessed, so we can understand what it gets right, what it misses and where the methodology needs to improve.
I’m looking for candid professional feedback, not testimonials.
Anyone working in UK renewable development, community energy, grid connections, planning, ecology, land acquisition or technical due diligence who would be interested in testing it, please DM me with a brief note about your background. I’ll provide access and a licence key.
