Professional site intelligence for every land decision. Snapshot evaluates any U.S. parcel across environmental risk, power infrastructure, regulatory constraints, and resource potential — the same diligence criteria used by Fortune 500 site selectors — delivering a comprehensive feasibility report with multi-dimensional scoring in under 60 seconds.
Environmental, infrastructure, and regulatory screening — scored and mapped automatically.
Snapshot is transforming how people evaluate land for energy infrastructure development — giving buyers, sellers, investors, and developers the same intelligence that Fortune 500 companies use for site selection.
In today's rapidly evolving energy landscape — driven by unprecedented demand from energy infrastructure, AI computing facilities, and renewable energy projects — land with the right characteristics has become extraordinarily valuable.
Too often, critical site data is scattered across dozens of federal agencies, locked behind complex GIS tools, or only accessible to well-resourced teams with sophisticated site selection software.
Snapshot levels the playing field.
Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or developing — Snapshot gives you the data-driven intelligence to make confident decisions.
Evaluate any parcel before committing. Identify fatal flaws, environmental risks, and infrastructure gaps that could derail your project — before you close. Snapshot gives you the same site selection intelligence used by Fortune 500 companies, so you know exactly what you're buying.
Demonstrate your property's development potential with professional feasibility reports backed by federal data. In today's energy landscape, land with the right characteristics has become extraordinarily valuable. A strong Snapshot score gives you agency and a position of strength in negotiations with developers and utilities.
Screen multiple sites quickly and compare scores side by side. Prioritize investments backed by federal data, not guesswork. Identify high-value properties before the competition and build a portfolio of sites with quantified development potential.
Accelerate due diligence for solar farms, energy infrastructure, and energy infrastructure projects. Snapshot consolidates 20+ federal and public data sources into one actionable report, evaluating properties across power infrastructure, environmental risk, geology, water resources, and mineral potential. Reduce site evaluation from weeks to minutes.
Every Snapshot report produces three 100-point scored assessments plus a qualitative water and geology resource evaluation — covering the full spectrum of site suitability questions.
100-point assessment evaluating a site's viability for utility-scale solar development. Covers transmission access, solar resource quality, terrain feasibility, and environmental risk. Includes NRI and EPA modifiers.
100-point assessment optimized for energy infrastructure siting. Weights broadband connectivity, power redundancy, and flood resilience more heavily than solar. Includes NRI and EIA power plant modifiers.
100-point assessment of mineral and resource exploration potential. Combines geology, known deposit proximity, geochemical evidence, and historical mining activity into a prospectivity classification.
Qualitative resource evaluation (not numerically scored) providing subsurface context for any development type. Covers aquifer mapping, groundwater conditions, water quality, geological formations, and structural setting.
Every data layer you need to evaluate a site — queried, scored, and summarized automatically.
From address to actionable report in under a minute.
Every property receives a tier rating from 1 to 5 based on its overall suitability for energy infrastructure development. The tier system provides an at-a-glance assessment that summarizes dozens of individual data points.
Average score 86+. Excellent infrastructure access, minimal environmental constraints, strong resource potential. Site is development-ready with no significant barriers across solar, energy infrastructure, or mineral dimensions.
Average score 71-85. Strong infrastructure proximity and favorable environmental profile with minor limitations. May have moderate distance to transmission or partial environmental overlap requiring further review.
Average score 51-70. Mixed results across categories. Notable constraints in some areas (environmental overlap, moderate infrastructure distance, or elevated hazard risk) balanced by strengths in others.
Average score 26-50. Significant constraints across multiple categories. Limited infrastructure access, elevated environmental risk, or poor resource potential. Development possible but with substantial additional investment.
Score below 26 or fatal flaw detected. Disqualifying conditions identified: inside flood hazard area, within critical habitat, no grid connection within reasonable distance, inside protected wilderness, or other insurmountable barriers.
Every report includes a multi-page PDF with tier ratings, three 100-point scoring models, geology and water resource context, mineral potential assessment, geospatial maps, environmental findings, and AI-generated site narratives — ready to share with stakeholders, lenders, or your team.

A GIS analyst charges $300 – $1,200 per site assessment. Snapshot delivers a comparable report in under 60 seconds.
Need deeper diligence? Our Enhanced Site Survey adds state-level, county-level, and manually-researched intelligence to any assessment — starting at $500.

The result is a multi-dimensional suitability score with full category-by-category breakdowns.
Snapshot sources data from authoritative federal agencies including USGS, FEMA, USFWS, NREL, USDA, EPA, EIA, and FCC. Every score is fully transparent — you can see exactly which data contributed which points. Federal datasets are typically updated monthly to annually. For high-value decisions, we recommend verifying critical findings through professional due diligence, which our Enhanced Site Survey can provide.
Most tools focus on 3–5 data categories or provide black-box valuations without showing their work. Snapshot evaluates sites across all nine assessment dimensions simultaneously, with fully transparent scoring — every point is traceable to a specific dataset and threshold. You see the report evidence and scoring, not just the answer.
Snapshot produces three scored assessments per site: Solar Development Compatibility (100-point scale), Energy Infrastructure Suitability (100-point scale), and Mineral Resource Potential (100-point scale). Whether you're screening for solar farms, energy infrastructure sites, mineral exploration, real estate investment, or evaluating a lease offer on your land — Snapshot provides the report you need.
Paid assessments include a professional PDF report with maps and full score breakdowns. The 5-Pack and Unlimited tiers also include Excel spreadsheets, GeoJSON (for GIS software), and CSV data exports. All reports are saved to your account for future access.

Our Enhanced Site Survey adds state-level, county-level, and manually-researched intelligence that the automated report cannot reach — including utility interconnection status, county zoning verification, tax incentive programs, environmental permitting pathways, and more. Enhanced Surveys start at $500 and are available after any paid assessment. Contact us to learn more.
