Boilerplate

Standard

SolarGridCheck is an independent, free grid-viability tool for UK landowners and businesses. It assesses whether land can host a solar farm or battery storage project using published substation data from all six GB Distribution Network Operators, the government's Renewable Energy Planning Database, and NESO transmission data. It is operated by Known by One, LLC.

One-liner
