Glint and Glare Assessments
Maximise planning success and reduce risk with reports that specifically target the aviation, roads, dwellings and railway receptors surrounding your solar PV or building development.
Why Glint and Glare Assessment Matters
Addressing potential glint and glare issues early on in your project can help to prevent delays in obtaining planning permission and ease local opposition to the development.
Solar glint and glare (sunlight reflected from shiny surfaces) can affect safety and residential amenity in surrounding areas. Glint and glare assessments are routinely required for solar photovoltaic developments and large building developments all around the world.
Core Glint and Glare Assessments
Establish whether reflections from your project could cause safety or amenity issues.
Design Optimisation, Management, and Compliance
Show consultees that glint and glare risks will be minimised and controlled as necessary.
Large Scale Solar Projects
We routinely provide glint and glare scoping inputs for your large scale developments.
We understand that every project is unique. The right level of analysis depends on site context, receptor types, and planning requirements.

Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK
We first appointed Pager Power in 2004 to assess a number of wind farms in North East England resulting in objections being withdrawn by Newcastle Airport. The company has successfully helped us resolve NATS, Royal Airforce, telecommunications and minor airfield issues. Pager Power provides advice and technical analysis, are easy to talk to and deliver reports on time. Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK including a range of onshore wind farms in North East England and Central Scotland.
