A clear and simple visualization video proved instrumental in helping defuse opposition to Intersect Power’s proposed new large-scale solar farm in the San Francisco Bay.

Although solar power provides clean, renewable energy, the prospect of a largescale new solar farm still raises concerns that productive agricultural land can be lost, with resulting negative impacts on human and animal populations, and vegetation.

Using a short Truescape visualization video, Intersect Power was able to bring stakeholders alongside the project. The video demonstrated how Intersect look to develop sites that have impaired soils and lack habitat for sensitive species and animals.,  ensuring that environmental impacts would be minimized or managed. Intersect was thus able to correct misconceptions and allay fears, proving that the Aramis Solar Farm could actually become an asset to the local region.

The simulation highlighted how the project would unfold, the care being invested in its creation and maintenance, and how the voice of the local community would be involved in its design and planning.

Crucially, stakeholders were able to actually experience how this project would look and feel including how the vegetation screening reduced visual effects from the road.   A proposed hiking trail would allow access along the Cayetano creek providing additional benefits  from this new use of the space.

The objective value that the solar project could bring in terms of renewable energy goals, local jobs and climate protection was not only clearly visible, but complex information was made easily understandable to a range of stakeholders.
