13-layer constraint analysis with interactive Google Maps and GO/NO-GO verdict

MCP Function Name
gridkit_ultimate_site_analysis

What It Does

The most comprehensive solar site assessment tool available. Runs 13 constraint layers via geometric Shapely polygon engine: FEMA flood zones, NWI wetlands, NHD streams, roads, railways, buildings, terrain/slopes, substations, transmission lines (HIFLD + OSM), protected areas, conservation easements, critical habitat, and drainage. Returns an interactive Google Maps satellite view with all constraint layers overlaid, a pre-formatted markdown report with detailed tables, market signals (LMP prices, carbon intensity, retail electricity rates), constraint breakdown with acreage, MW capacity estimates (conservative/central/aggressive), and a clear GO/NO-GO verdict. This is equivalent to hiring a site assessment firm — delivered in 15-25 seconds.
