Find buildableland first.
Veld puts terrain, sunlight, grid capacity and no-go zones on one map, then ranks every parcel. Your team shortlists sites in an afternoon instead of a quarter.
Start with the ground
Elevation and slope for every hectare in your search area, so flat, buildable land stands out.
Follow the sun
Solar irradiance across the region. In the Northern Cape the best land gets more than 6.5 kWh/m² a day.
Find the grid
Substations and lines with the capacity still free on each. A great site 40 km from spare capacity isn't a great site.
Rule out the no-go zones
Protected areas, wetland buffers and land claims are cut out before you spend a rand on them.
Get a ranked shortlist
Every parcel scored and ranked. What used to take a consultant six weeks takes a few minutes.
From province to parcel.
One tool for the whole early-stage process, from the first search to the site you take to your investment committee.
Screen a whole province
Draw a search area and Veld scores every parcel inside it in minutes.
- Terrain, slope and aspect
- Solar irradiance and wind speed
- Distance to substations with free capacity
Assess a single site
A one-page report for any parcel, ready for your investment committee.
- No-go zone and land claim checks
- Zoning and title deed details
- Grid connection options and costs
Monitor your pipeline
Get alerts when something changes near the sites you're developing.
- New grid capacity releases
- Competitor projects nearby
- Municipal council decisions
Every parcel, one page.
Scores you can explain. Each number links back to the data layer it came from.

The layers behind the score.
Public and licensed datasets, cleaned and joined to every farm portion in the country.
| Layer | What it shows | Updated |
|---|---|---|
| Terrain | Elevation, slope and aspect at 30 m resolution | Static |
| Irradiance | Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI) | Yearly |
| Wind | Mean wind speed at 100 m and 150 m hub heights | Yearly |
| Grid capacity | Substations, lines and the capacity still free on each | Monthly |
| No-go zones | Protected areas, wetlands, heritage sites and bird flight paths | Quarterly |
| Land | Farm portions, title deeds, zoning and land claims | Monthly |
