Site selection process

  1. Description of the process

    There are no formal rules to follow in the process step. After obtaining the access and connection permits to the grid, the project developer should start the negotiations to select a proper location for their project, which entails land contracts.
    For rooftop PV, IDAE recommends to check whether certain limitations or special urban requirements are in place in the municipality or in the part of the city where the unit will be installed (for example, restrictions in the historic centre).
