Find sites worth pursuing before you spend money on them.

Describe the project you want to build and where. Oasis screens the parcels around that location and gives you a ranked shortlist, with the issues to check on each site.

The problem

The information exists. It's spread across a dozen tabs, and it keeps moving.

A county parcel viewer here, a utility's capacity map there, a zoning code PDF, a queue spreadsheet, an incentive program page. Your analyst rebuilds the same picture for every site by hand, and it is out of date by the review meeting.

Illustrative. Oasis pulls that work onto one screen: the parcels worth considering, ranked, with the issues to check.

How a search works

From a one-line brief to a shortlist you can act on.

Oasis searches around a city, county or zip code, within the radius you choose.

  1. 3 MW community solar within 15 miles of Albany, NY
    Step 1

    Describe the project

    Write the location, size and technology the way you would brief an analyst. Oasis handles solar, community solar, solar plus storage and battery storage.

  2. Parcel 14, Guilderland82
    Parcel 3, Colonie78
    Parcel 9, Bethlehem71
    Step 2

    Review the shortlist

    You get up to 20 ranked parcels. Each one shows its score, how much of that score rests on measured data, and the issues to check first.

  3. Send to Keystone
    Parcel, zoning and utility details carry over
    Step 3

    Move the best sites forward

    Send a site to Keystone and its details come with it, so nobody retypes parcel data to start feasibility.

Screening

Rule out the sites that were never going to work.

Before ranking anything, Oasis removes parcels in high-risk flood zones, wetlands or steep terrain, and parcels too far from a substation. What is left is worth your team's time.

Confidence

Know how much to trust each score.

Public data is uneven. Some utilities publish detailed grid capacity and some publish none. Oasis tells you how much of each score comes from measured data, so a thin score does not pass for a strong one.

Parcel 14, Guilderland, NY. 3 MW community solar.

Check first

Grid capacity on the nearest line is limited. Confirm with the utility before site control.

No mapped wetlands or flood risk on the parcel.

Zoning allows ground-mount solar.

Why it matters

Spend development budget on sites that can close.

Next step

When a site looks right, Keystone takes it from there.

The site's details move with it into feasibility and diligence, and later into financing.
