Sonar Mapping: Precise Data to Assess
Sunlight Exposure and Optimize Panel Placement

Accurate site data is essential for successful water-based and floating infrastructure projects. Sonar mapping provides precise underwater and surface information that helps assess sunlight exposure, depth, and contours—allowing for optimized panel placement and efficient project planning.

What Is Sonar Mapping?

Sonar mapping uses sound wave technology to measure water depth and map underwater topography. By sending sound pulses to the bottom of a water body and analyzing their return, sonar systems create detailed bathymetric maps without disturbing the environment.

Why Sonar Mapping Is Important

Without accurate depth and contour data, project planning can involve guesswork, increasing risks and costs. Sonar mapping delivers reliable insights that support smarter decisions.
Key challenges addressed by sonar mapping include:
  • Identifying depth variations and underwater obstacles
  • Assessing sunlight exposure across water surfaces
  • Determining optimal placement areas for panels or equipment
  • Supporting accurate design and engineering plans
