Lightrock power was in the process of designing multiple mid-sized solar farms across the UK in a bid to fuel the grid with greener energy. The team had 8 potential remote project areas, data sets held in disparate systems and no way to easily access real-world context.

Gaining approvals for solar farms is a key challenge faced in the solar industry. Subsequently, Lightrock Power partnered with Sensat to visualise all 8 proposed solar farm sites as digital site replicas. Layering designs, topographic CAD, and survey data in one common environment enabled teams to better understand the constraints, make faster design iterations, and improve decision certainty.

Lightrock Power accelerates 8 solar farms’ development processes using Sensat

To support National Grid in completing a design feasibility study for a new power cable route during lockdown, Sensat undertook a remote drone data capture survey of the land adjacent to Didcot Power Station.

With concerns project development could be delayed due to limited land access during the pandemic, National Grid’s project team not only needed an alternative survey method but also a way to visualise 3D data easily and quickly at home.


Sensat offered its cloud-based, visualisation platform for free to those in the AEC industry as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this initiative users from National Grid, and consultants at Jacobs, used Sensat’s visualisation platform as a way to access accurate, up-to-date 3D data remotely from any device via a web-based application.
