Green energy has become a hot topic among engineers and builders involved in land development. The technologies and processes involved offer numerous benefits and savings to property owners, construction industry professionals, and leaseholders. Below are several benefits of solar panels and how to make them part of your next commercial development project.

Incorporating Green Energy in Land Development

Benefits of Solar Panels

Including solar panels in commercial land development projects enhances the value of the property, and produces safe, inexpensive, and clean energy, especially compared to sources such as coal and oil. Property owners benefit from reduced energy costs over the life of the panels, which can be for decades. 

Ensuring Solar Panels Are Effective

The positioning of solar panels plays an important role in their effectiveness. As a property owner or developer, you want panels installed so they do not interfere with each other, and that they capture as much energy as possible from the sun for the longest period of its arc.

How Land Surveyors Help With Green Energy Land Development

Land surveyors work with civil engineers and site engineering professionals to maximize the effectiveness of solar panels in commercial development projects. Using technologies including drones, imaging and simulation programs, data analytics, and machine learning, land development experts calculate the optimum positions for the panels. Through complex calculations and expert installation, these professionals give commercial property owners maximum energy benefits at the lowest cost.
