Web-based tool to accelerate development of solar energy sites

SEATTLE, Wash.— 3TIER® today launched Firstlook Solar Assessment, a web-based tool that makes it faster, easier and more cost-effective for developers to discover potential solar project sites in North America with pinpoint precision. With just two clicks, Firstlook Solar not only provides developers with instant access to the National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB), but relays the highly technical data in an easy-to-use, understandable format.

“Before Firstlook, solar developers and consultants had to spend considerable time and money on technical experts capable of wading through and interpreting volumes of data regarding potential solar energy sites,” said Kenneth Westrick, founder and CEO of 3TIER.

“Firstlook Solar eliminates that costly first step,” he said. “This powerful and innovative tool delivers technical information straight to the user through an easy-to-use web interface. Now anyone can use this assessment tool and receive a thorough, cost-effective power resource report delivered to a laptop within minutes.”
