Pager Power has recently undertaken a comparison of glare guidance used in Germany and Pager Power’s own glint and glare guidance, used in the UK. Figure 1: Agrivoltaics solar plant, [...]

Introduction Pager Power has been a leading provider of glint and glare analysis relating to solar developments for over a decade. As a comparatively new concern, the guidance around this [...]

The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has issued an update to the list of circumstances in which a Glint and Glare assessment must be carried out for proposed solar [...]

Every location on land has an altitude above (or, in some rare cases, below) sea level. Most people have better things to do with their day than to ponder what [...]

Overview The visual circuit is a specified path in which an aircraft flies visually in the airspace around an aerodrome. These are utilised at aerodromes all across the UK and [...]

Overview Solar Panel Glare occurs even though it is not expected because solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight, rather than reflect it. Solar Panel Glare is greater than expected [...]

Background The two terms ‘glint’ and ‘glare’ refer to the unwanted reflection of the sun’s rays from the face of a reflective surface. Glint and glare is a common issue [...]

Background The Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) in South Africa requires that solar project applications have a Glint and Glare Impact Assessment Report. The requirement is that all new applications should [...]

Yes they do. Strong (Photovoltaic) PV glare may be caused by reflections from a low sun. Whilst panels are designed to efficiently absorb direct and diffuse light they are often [...]

Overview Pager Power recently conducted a consultation process with Network Rail to better understand their assessment requirements when it comes to glint, glare and their operations. The following article presents [...]
