3TIER released the world's first comprehensive and high-resolution solar map of the entire western hemisphere on October 13, 2008.Government, solar energy developers and financiers are able to easily assess any point on the map of its solar level by clicking on the Google Map and, thus, make decisions of the potential of an area for renewable solar energy. The map covers North, Central and South America.
Like 3TIER's wind map, which assess the wind speed in the clicked area, solar map is for free but needs registration. The two maps can shift from one to the other on one interface. It is an evolution for renewable energy industry. It would be especially handy for developing countries who do not have millions of satellite photos.
On 3TIER's website, it states clearly that:
"The facts are simple and sobering. More than 1.3 billion people around the world have no access to electricity. Demands for energy are increasing, while traditional fuel sources are decreasing. Add concerns over climate change and energy security and it becomes clear that renewable energy is critical to serve the future energy needs throughout the world. It also provides a sustainable source of clean power — where the fuel is completely free."
A strong instinct says 3TIER is soon going to be pursued by sponsors, financiers or even by Google, whose platform is being used by the map system of 3TIER. 3TIER's business is also totally in line with the environmental endeavor Google has been striving to make.
