Solar photovoltaic developments routinely require glint and glare assessments as part of the planning application. The driving force behind this is the potential for:  Safety impacts on surrounding roads, railway [...]

Pager Power’s whitepaper ‘Evaluating the Field of View: Quantifying How the Location of a Solar Reflection Impacts a Road User’ has now been published. The Whitepaper will now be a [...]

Overview As airfield operators seek to go green, more and more will look to utilise the potentially vast areas of land on or very near to their airfields for renewable [...]

Background Solar panels are now a common source of renewable energy generation and becoming a common part of urban landscapes. They can range from a large-scale solar farm to a [...]

Overview The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently announced a final policy to replace their interim glint and glare guidance. The update states the FAA’s final stance on how solar photovoltaic [...]

Overview Pager Power has been undertaking glint and glare assessments for solar developments for almost 10 years. During this time, we have heard and read a variety of misconceptions about [...]

Background Solar panels harness energy from the sun. There is a large magnitude of solar energy available on Earth, potentially making solar panels one of the more effective solutions to [...]

Introduction  The cumulative capacity of worldwide floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects is currently 2600 MW, representing just 0.41% of the total cumulative capacity of all worldwide solar projects. However, momentum is building [...]

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 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 [...]
