US battery storage reached nearly 52 GW by mid-2026, with another 26 GW planned for 2027. Developers still start from the grid, but a good connection no longer decides a project on its own. Here are the four risks that do, and the order to check them in.
Glint AI’s first release, the Design Agent, took the repetitive clicking out of design. The second takes it out of prospecting. Glint AI can now use the core prospecting tools in Glint Solar: layers, parcel search, constraint profiles, Buildable Area and Area Insights, and Land Screening.
Lubomila Jordanova, founder of the carbon accounting platform Plan A and co-founder of the Greentech Alliance, joins Glint Solar's Board of Directors. She will help shape how the company scales its operations and keeps sustainable practice built into long-term growth.
Glint AI is an assistant built into your Glint Solar workspace. Its first release, the Design Agent, draws, edits and runs analyses on your map from a plain-language request, using the same design tools you use yourself.
Skarta Energy is a Finnish IPP founded in 2021 and working toward 800 MW-peak by 2030. Manual GIS screening and outsourced acoustic work were slowing early development down. With Glint Solar, the team screens inbound landowner leads on the map, runs BESS noise modeling in-house, and has close to eliminated the spend that used to go to consultants for noise calculations.
Germany's draft Netzpaket could penalize new solar and wind projects in areas with high curtailment, defined around the medium-voltage grid. Glint's new Mittelspannungsnetz layer makes it easy to see the grid, measure distance to it, and assess connection risk before committing a site.
Land Screening searches an entire state against your full constraint profile and hands back a shortlist of the sites carrying the lowest permitting and interconnection risk. Set your constraint profile once, pick the state or draw the region, then screen.
Land Screening searches a million hectares against your full constraint profile and hands back a shortlist of the sites carrying the lowest permitting and interconnection risk. Set your constraint profile once, pick the state or draw the region, then screen.
A strict constraint list leaves one site in ten standing. Here's how Solkraft Sør rules out risk before it costs them capital, and the one map that carries a project from screening through to permit.
Italy seems like a dream for renewable energy development, but the alarm clock is about to go off. Digging into the realities of Italian utility-scale development is like reading a Mario Puzo novel: everything seems idyllic on the surface, then it gets peeled back, layer by layer, through twists and turns, until the surprising truth is revealed at the end.
