RE PILOT FOR DEVELOPERS

Search the project before you commit to the project.

The first viable layout is not necessarily the strongest development direction. RE PILOT helps you explore PV + BESS configurations across land, equipment, grid constraints, energy, cost, and project value—while there is still time to change the plan.

DEV

Direction before precision.

Build a data-backed shortlist for the directions worth advancing, then reserve detailed engineering for the concepts that fit the project’s real objectives.

SEARCH THE DEVELOPMENT THESIS

Maximum capacity is not always maximum project value.

Which parcels should move forward? What ILR and GCR ranges deserve study? Does storage change the preferred solar direction? RE PILOT turns those connected decisions into a visible search space before an early assumption becomes the project plan.

01

Test more than one thesis

Vary parcel strategy, ILR, GCR, pitch, equipment, battery size, and grid constraints instead of locking the first workable recipe too early.

02

Find promising regions

Use the Pareto frontier to see where strong options cluster, how sensitive they are, and which trade-offs persist as assumptions change.

03

Strengthen each decision gate

Show which directions survived the search, what drives them, and why they deserve deeper engineering work.

WHILE THE PROJECT IS FLEXIBLE

See where project value actually clusters.

There is no universally best configuration. RE PILOT keeps the assumptions and trade-offs visible so your team can understand why a direction looks promising.

QUESTIONS WORTH ANSWERING EARLY

Find the directions worth developing.

PARCELSWhich parcels contribute to the strongest overall project direction?
CAPACITYWhere does adding DC capacity stop improving the project logic?
RANGEWhich ILR and GCR combinations remain promising as assumptions change?
STORAGEDoes BESS change the preferred solar strategy under the grid export limit?
TRADE-OFFSWhat do we give up when prioritizing LCOE, energy, CapEx, or project value?
THE DEVELOPER WORKFLOW

From development thesis to credible shortlist.

01

Frame the decision

Define project objectives, equipment candidates, variable ranges, storage strategy, and grid constraints.

02

Explore broadly

Search viable PV + BESS combinations instead of developing a few concepts one by one.

03

Read the trade-offs

Compare the frontier across energy, LCOE, CapEx, OpEx, grid capacity, and project value.

04

Advance deliberately

Shortlist directions that fit the development thesis, then take them into PVFARM for detailed engineering.

SEARCH, SHORTLIST, ENGINEER

Spend precision where it counts.

Bring land, equipment, grid, storage, and economic questions into one transparent exploration workflow—then hand engineering a shortlist with clear reasons to investigate further.
