Cirra AI — Prompt Ideas Guide
A fun way to get started with your AI-powered solar site intelligence agent.
Discover what Cirra can do — one conversation at a time.
1. Welcome to Cirra
What is Cirra?
Cirra is not a chatbot. It is an AI agent that plans, reasons, picks tools, and executes multi-step workflows on your behalf. You do not need to know tool names, field names, or API syntax. Just ask a question in plain English, and Cirra figures out the rest.
Think of Cirra as a solar site analyst who never sleeps, has instant access to 65+ authoritative data sources, and can run physics-based calculations in seconds that would take a human team weeks.
This guide is your starting point. Browse the chapters, try the prompts, remix them, and make them your own. There is no wrong way to ask — Cirra understands natural language and will figure out which tools to use.
1,200+
Sites in Portfolio
Heads up: Cirra is actively being developed. Some workflows may have rough edges, and not all tools may work perfectly on every site. If something seems off or you encounter a bug, please report it to our team — your feedback makes Cirra better for everyone.
How this guide works: Each chapter covers a group of related capabilities. For every tool, you will find a brief introduction explaining what it does, followed by 10 prompt ideas shown with a 💡 lightbulb. The prompts primarily use Delta Solar (33.79°N, 90.70°W, Mississippi) as the example, with a few other sites mixed in. Feel free to swap in your own site names and coordinates.
2. Getting Started — Site Discovery
Before you can analyze a site, Cirra needs to know which one you are talking about. These two tools handle that: one searches the existing portfolio by name, and the other converts any location description into coordinates so you can add a brand-new site.
2.1 Find a Site in Your Portfolio
resolve_site searches the 1,200+ site portfolio by name and returns matching sites with coordinates, viability scores, data completeness, and a satellite map preview. It uses fuzzy matching, so you do not need the exact name.
Find Delta Solar
Look up a site called Cowboy Solar
Do we have a site near Bakersfield?
Which site is Solar Star? Show me its location.
I'm looking for a site in Mississippi — something with "Delta" in the name
Is there a site called Mount Signal in the portfolio?
Show me all sites that match "Desert"
What's the viability score for Solar Star?
Pull up the satellite preview for Delta Solar
Find the closest match to "Cowboy" in our database
2.2 Geocode a New Location
geocode_location converts any location description — a city, address, landmark, or general area — into precise geographic coordinates using Mapbox. This is your entry point for analyzing a brand-new site that is not yet in the portfolio.
What are the coordinates for Bakersfield, California?
I want to analyze a new site outside Phoenix, Arizona
Geocode a location near Rolling Fork, Mississippi
Find the lat/lng for Lancaster, CA

Geocode the area around Lake Charles, Louisiana
I want to set up a project near Yuma — what are the coordinates?
3. Running Analysis
These tools trigger the heavy lifting — Cirra's 14-module physics engine that crunches satellite data, soil surveys, climate records, and more. The first tool runs the full pipeline; the second tells you how complete a site's data already is.
3.1 Run Full Site Analysis
run_site_analysis triggers a comprehensive physics-based analysis running 14 parallel Python modules — soil (SSURGO), satellite imagery (GEE), precipitation, flood risk, seismic hazard, wind, soil moisture (SMAP), evapotranspiration (MODIS), hail, Atlas14/NREL, RUSLE erosion, solar irradiance, peat & fire risk, and KPI synthesis. Generates 600+ data fields. Takes 2–5 minutes.
Run a full analysis on Delta Solar at 33.7929, -90.7026
Analyze the site near Kayenta, Arizona at 36.72, -110.26
I just geocoded a new site — go ahead and run the full physics pipeline

How long will it take to analyze a site at 32.95, -112.80?
3.2 Check Data Completeness
check_data_completeness tells you exactly how complete a site's data is across all 14 analysis modules. It reports which modules have data, which are missing, the total field count, and a completeness percentage. Use this before running an assessment or when you see unexpected "N/A" values.
How complete is the data for Delta Solar?

4. Site Assessment & Environmental Risk
This is where Cirra truly shines. It evaluates sites across every environmental and geotechnical dimension — from RUSLE soil erosion modeling and FEMA flood mapping to seismic hazard analysis, bearing capacity, and fire risk. These tools help you understand not just whether a site is viable, but exactly what risks to budget for.
4.1 Comprehensive Site Assessment
assess_site runs a comprehensive 6-domain assessment covering geotechnical conditions, topography, erosion risk, natural hazards, vegetation, and infrastructure. Returns red flags, cost implications, foundation recommendations, and actionable next steps.

4.2 Soil Erosion & RUSLE Analysis
Cirra's physics engine runs a full RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) model with five factors — R (rainfall erosivity), K (soil erodibility), LS (topographic slope-length), C (cover management), and P (support practices). It calculates separate construction-phase and operational-phase erosion rates, checks against the USDA soil loss tolerance (T-value), and recommends Best Management Practices (BMPs). Use assess_site for the assessment view, or get_site_data with category=erosion for raw RUSLE fields.
What's the soil erosion risk at Delta Solar?
Show me the RUSLE factors for Delta Solar — R, K, LS, C, and P

4.4 Seismic & Natural Hazards
Cirra pulls USGS seismic hazard data including Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Seismic Design Category per ASCE 7-22, and NEHRP site classification. It also evaluates wind exposure (max speed, exposure category) and hail risk (days/year, panel vulnerability). These determine foundation design requirements, structural engineering specs, and insurance costs. Use assess_site for the hazards domain, or get_site_data with category=seismic, category=wind, or category=hail.

4.5 Geotechnical & Foundations
Cirra accesses SSURGO soil survey data for bearing capacity, soil texture, drainage class, plasticity, and composition (clay/sand/silt percentages). The assess_site geotechnical domain combines these into foundation recommendations — driven piles, helical piles, or spread footings — with cost implications. The get_site_data tool with category=soil gives you all 48+ raw geotechnical fields including SMAP soil moisture and compaction risk.
