Use the resources below to understand the flood risks of a proposed solar system. Make adjustments to the proposed system to avoid any obvious areas that are of high risk for flooding. Utilize the FEMA flood mapping tool by inputting the site's address and adjusting the zoom level to reveal the color-coded areas and symbols on the map.
Given that photovoltaic farms are often located in extensive areas prone to environmental changes, conducting flood risk assessments for solar farms emerges as a fundamental necessity.
The incorporation of AI-driven analysis into flood hazard modeling is poised to enhance flood risk assessments for solar farms, enabling the precise forecasting of potential flood scenarios. These technologies will play an essential part in improving evaluations of potential issues.
FEMA floodplain maps cover flooding from coastal and inland bodies of water (e.g., rivers, lakes, streams) but not from stormwater inundation. A site will need to be assessed using both FEMA flood maps and through the use of local information. Use the resources below to understand the flood risks of a proposed solar system.
