Since the publication of www.offgridai.us last month, I’ve been looking into the financials of clean energy projects. In the US, tax credits play a key role in bringing down the breakeven cost and making more projects viable. So maximizing tax credit eligibility matters. The energy community bonus tax credit depends on where the project is located, but the list of eligible locations changes every year.
I thought it would be useful to have a tool which figures out the eligible locations before publication of the IRS official list.

This is awesome. Two orgs come to mind that you might want to work with in some capacity: Electricity Maps for sourcing US electric grid carbon intensity data [1] (unfortunately, granularity is only down to the ISO/balancing agency), and Clear Loop (a division of Silicon Ranch, one of the largest solar developers in the US) [2], which uses carbon credits to build clean energy projects in the most carbon intensive parts of the US grid.
