About the Tool

This tool was created to facilitate decision making regarding solar development on IDNR properties. The tool addresses the technical and financial feasibility of utilizing solar panels at any IDNR agricultural lease property. In addition to assessing the suitability of each site for solar, and it provides preliminary indications of solar system capacity and cost.

The tool has two maps: 1) Ag lease lands, and 2) a suitability map viewer that shows technical solar suitability results across the state and may provide useful localized context for the suitability ratings of IDNR sites.
