Streamline solar and data center development with advanced analysis.
ORCaS solutions deliver superior data earlier in your project’s lifecycle, with tools that are computationally robust but simple to use. Empower your teams with accurate and precise figures starting on day one.
We help you avoid the costly chain reactions triggered by low-fidelity datasets and unknown sources. Decisions based on unreliable data result in poor initial estimates, unnecessary rework, last-minute design changes, and the embarrassment of having to revise information already passed on to downstream clients.
We know your projects ramp up quickly, so we’ve automated the process to ensure you have high-quality data from the outset — resulting in cleaner handoffs, fewer restarts, minimized field errors, and ultimately the confidence to make the best decisions and seize the most promising opportunities from a position of certainty.

Bespoke analysis for transparent inclusion in your plan sets.
Raw and processed data
Access to soils data, hydrologic data, processed LiDAR or other topographic files, and other input data.
Verifiable outputs
Engineers can verify figures at every step, ensuring stakeholder confidence.
Hydrological Study
As solar projects expand into more challenging terrain and regulators impose strict runoff standards to prevent pollutants, developers face increasingly complex hydraulic conditions. An ORCaS Hydrological Study — powered by automated analysis, high-resolution data, and advanced hydrologic modeling — delivers early insights that enable you to optimize site layout, streamline permitting, mitigate risks, and meet tough regulatory requirements before breaking ground.
Data Center Siting and Analysis
Streamline your data infrastructure project pipeline with our powerful data sourcing and computation. ORCaS Data Center Site Analysis tools help you pinpoint optimal locations for data center development, factoring in infrastructure, network analysis, and land parcel attributes.
Add ORCaS to your engineering team
Created with the purpose of streamlining workflows that once took engineers hours or days to complete, ORCaS solutions were initially developed in a solar design and engineering context to address common data integrity issues found in many industry-standard tools. Over time, these solutions have been systematically refined, automated, expanded, and strengthened in response to evolving methodologies, regulatory shifts, and changing design approaches — ensuring they remain both comprehensive and resilient. Applied to thousands of projects worldwide, from initial design through construction, ORCaS has consistently delivered substantial improvements in early-stage solar optimization, reduced manual engineering time, and enabled on-spec project completions.
Today, ORCaS is a transparent partner to major national and international renewable energy and data infrastructure developers and manufacturers, providing reliable, high-value solutions that meet the rigorous demands of a rapidly changing industry.
