01Solar Design StudioWalk, fly and design on real terrain

Walk and fly over real ground from Environment Agency LiDAR, then design on it. The GIS, SLD & Financial Sandbox remains available among the earlier releases.

Open Solar Design Studio →
↣Electrical Scene ExplorerSolar Design Studio drawing prototype

Explore an illustrative electrical scene in 3D, inspect array geometry and follow modelled cable routes. Prototype, not a surveyed site or approved engineering design.

Open drawing prototype →
↣Energy Transition SimulatorSolar farming with power grids, on real UK ground (preview)

Walk and fly anywhere in the UK over measured Environment Agency LiDAR, streamed where you arrive. Tables, trenches, lines and stations are modelled on the satellite and labelled as measured, documented or estimated. A preview, not a surveyed site or an approved engineering design.

Kuiperkuiper
engine

Intended purpose: Help humans and LLM-assisted workflows isolate patterns across code, text and mathematics, supporting faster iteration and discovery. Intended adaptations include GIS drawing, design studios and construction proposals.

For: humans, LLM-assisted workflows

Intended roles: pattern-exploration, design-studio, drawing-workspace, proposal-authoring

Recorded evidence: The catalogue records a current Kuiper workspace and an earlier one-wafer release; this does not establish automated LLM integration.
