Is your land suitable for a solar farm or battery storage?

For solar installations, the land should ideally be either flat or on a gentle south-facing slope. It will still work if your land has some slight undulations, but steep slopes and north-facing land is best avoided. For battery storage, land should ideally be relatively flat – but the asset will be built on a concrete base, so this can iron ...
