Integrated geoinformation modelling for the siting of industrial solar power plants considering landslide processes in mountainous areas

The article presents an integrated approach to assessing the suitability of territories for the placement of industrial solar power plants (SPPs) in mountainous conditions, taking into account the spread of landslide processes, which are a key natural constraint for infrastructure development in the Carpathian region. The object of the study is the Kosiv district of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, an area characterised by complex geological structure, increased susceptibility to landslides, and growing investment interest in alternative energy projects.
