About ib vogt

ib vogt is on a mission to power the energy transition and create a sustainable world. With an OECD-focused development strategy, a multi-gigawatt solar PV pipeline, investments in battery storage, and an independent power producer (IPP) business model, ib vogt is a major player in the booming UK renewable energy sector. 

Streamlining solar site selection

Searchland veterans, ib vogt, have used Searchland to identify optimal sites for solar farms and battery storage; and perform essential due diligence from the ground up. The platform's intuitive user interface and rich datasets around planning constraints, agricultural land classification, terrain slope and tilt, and other key factors have made securing viable project sites simple, quick and consistent.

"Searchland's planning constraint layers and land characteristics data make it easy to assess if a site is suitable for development," said Jake Allen, UK Project Origination Manager at ib vogt. "It's our go-to tool for identifying new project opportunities and conducting initial diligence."

“A clear upgrade from the competition”

Before adopting Searchland, the ib vogt team used a competing platform but found it slow to roll out product updates and improvements.

"With our previous platform, we'd be waiting 6 months for capabilities that Searchland was able to deliver in 6 weeks," Jake shared. "The team proactively seeks our input, keeps us in the loop on new developments, and is always available if we need support. Just last week, they responded to an urgent request within 20 minutes, Searchland’s customer service is consistent and exceptional."

Searchland has become integral to building its development pipeline by enabling ib vogt to source optimal sites efficiently.

“The 20 UK sites we’ve identified and progressed with using Searchland has fuelled our 7.6 Gigawatt pipeline of combined Solar & Battery Storage projects.”

"It's an essential tool that has meaningfully accelerated our ability to find viable project sites at the scale needed to meet our ambitious growth targets."

"Searchland has become an essential part of our toolkit and workflow for solar development”

"I'm excited to continue working with the Searchland team to make the platform even more powerful."
