Frequently asked questions

Explore all FAQ
How do I know if Planted will work on my sites?

Planted is built for today’s site development challenges. Our terrain-following arrays handle slopes up to 27%, reduce grading and earthwork, and require less land (only 2 acres / MWp). Whether you’re aiming for the strongest project returns or tackling tougher terrain and constraints, there’s a good chance we can help. Get in touch to see if your portfolio is a good fit.

How does Planted impact permitting and financing?

Projects using Planted rely on standard independent engineering reviews for bankability, construction financing, and permanent debt. Compact arrays with low visual impact enable easier zoning approvals. And with less ground disturbance, lower land use, and terrain-following capabilities that preserve existing vegetation and topsoil, sites stabilize faster and comply with local AHJ requirements.

What kind of results have others seen?

Planted flips the script on conventional deployment assumptions. Instead of chasing marginal yield gains with complex systems, we help teams unlock better project value by doing more with less. By using more modules—and less steel, sitework, and labor—developers can generate the same or greater energy output at lower cost. 

With lower CapEx and OpEx, accelerated timelines, and higher labor productivity, projects built with Planted get to power faster, with better margins and less land.
