Description:
The goal of the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Landscape-Scale Planning for Solar Energy and Conservation analysis (WildLight) is to identify appropriate areas for photovoltaic solar development within the SJV. A secondary goal of the analysis is to identify high value conservation lands within the SJV  that can be targeted for protection and/or serve as mitigation areas for utility scale solar developments. Data representing the major stakeholder groups in the region are used to generate a spatial model identifying and highlighting the most compatible areas for utility scale solar development.
