Our Experience
We have no doubt we are the most experienced assessors of glint and glare effects in the UK. We developed our own model, which is now in its fourth year of iterations, refinements and improvements. We know what is required to satisfy planning authorities and other stakeholders such as the Ministry of Defence (MOD), Network Rail and Highways England to name just a few.
Our experience regarding glint and glare and its effects includes comprehensive desk-based assessments, site surveys, meeting attendance and orals hearings.

International Assessment
Pager Power completed the Glint and Glare assessment for the first consented solar farm in the Republic of Ireland. We have also undertaken assessments internationally in countries such as Jordan and Cyprus.
Glint, glare and aviation
We have been a trusted assessor of proposed on-airfield solar PV installations by airports in the UK. We have also undertaken many aviation-based glint and glare assessments for solar developments adjacent to or within the safeguarded areas of airports. Overcoming glint and glare concerns relating to aviation safety is paramount for gaining planning permission for a proposed solar development.
Conclusions
Pager Power has vast experience in assessing glint and glare effects for ground and roof mounted PV installations. Contact us if you wish to find our more information or have any questions about your projects relating to glint and glare.
