6 FAQs about [Rural solar power generation planning map]

Are rural areas leading the way on solar power generation?

Are roads a map layer for solar farm development?

This research assumes all non-mountainous areas of the UK have at least an un-metalled road close by to allow farm dispatches and deliveries. Consequently, roads are not input as a map layer. The avoidance of flood zones and high grade agricultural land for potential solar farm development is more problematic.
