We score every parcel in the state and rank the sites actually worth pursuing — starting with the brownfields and capped landfills where the siting case and the set-aside programs line up. Your team stops burning diligence hours on land that was never going to get built.
parcel intelligence + public records · owner data stays behind a strict privacy wall
412 capped and inactive landfills from the public NJDEP inventory — each sized by its acreage, because area is the first read on how much solar a site can hold. This is the disturbed, low-conflict land the CSEP set-aside was written for, and it’s where Atlas starts.

Most clean-energy land screening still happens parcel by parcel, by hand, late in the process. Teams chase sites that turn out to be preserved farmland, deed-restricted, impractical to interconnect, or sitting in a town with a hostile solar ordinance — and only find out after weeks of diligence.
Farmland preservation, conservation easements, and deed restrictions quietly take parcels off the table — long after a team has started chasing them.
A single municipal solar ordinance can turn an otherwise-perfect parcel into a non-starter. You rarely find out until you’re deep in.
Pulling MOD-IV records, overlays, and ownership one parcel at a time doesn’t scale to a competitive program deadline.
The sites worth pursuing get found last — if they get found at all.
Citipax Atlas runs a parcel-intelligence model built across all 3,072,671 New Jersey parcels in 21 counties. Each parcel is scored for solar and brownfield siting and for how well it fits the available incentive stack — then ranked into a pre-screened shortlist, so the sites worth a closer look surface first.
These are rank-grade screening signals — a way to decide where to look first, with feasibility gates built in. They are not a pro-forma, appraisal, or interconnection study, and Atlas reports them in bands, never as parcel lists.
We start where the opportunity is clearest: closed landfills and brownfields, where the siting case and the set-aside programs line up.
21 counties — the full universe Atlas screens.
Filtered for size, preservation status, and basic siting fit.
The set-aside-oriented opportunity Atlas starts with.
Prioritized for solar / brownfield siting + incentive-stack fit.
Illustrative methodology shown with rounded, synthetic figures — not live parcel data. Atlas reports screening signals in bands; it never publishes parcel lists or owner-identifying data.
Atlas is for NJ solar, storage, and community-solar developers who need a credible pipeline fast — especially teams pursuing the Competitive Solar Energy Program (CSEP), including its landfill and brownfield set-aside, and the Garden State Energy Storage Program (GSESP).
Atlas flags set-aside candidates for your team to confirm: we surface where to look and why; your counsel and the program administrator confirm eligibility. We don’t certify program qualification.
A ranked, pre-screened shortlist for your buildable target — geography, technology, and the program you’re chasing — with the screening rationale behind each site.
Ongoing screening and prioritization as the programs and your criteria evolve, so your pipeline stays ahead of the next window.
Selective co-development on the strongest sites — an option we’re building toward, not a service we lead with today.
Engagements are scoped to your target. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll take it from there.
Atlas keeps a hard separation between public parcel intelligence and owner-identifying data. Owner names and home addresses live behind a strict privacy wall, consistent with New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law (P.L. 2020, c. 125), and never appear in a deliverable. What you receive is parcel intelligence and public records — screening signals in bands, not a list of people.
Tell us your buildable target — geography, technology, and the program you’re chasing — and we’ll walk you through what Atlas surfaces for it.
