Where does wind turbine TV interference occur?
Wind turbines affect TV signals. In some cases, this causes noticeable interference at nearby residences. It is common for planning authorities to set conditions that obligate wind farm developers to investigate and mitigate any TV interference caused by their turbines. Moreover, disruption to TV services makes for bad press. Where…
Guidance for digital TV interference caused by wind turbines
Wind developments can interfere with digital television signals in their vicinity. This issue often gives rise to planning conditions that require prompt remediation of such issues. It can also lead to local opposition to or complaints regarding a wind farm. Various sources provide guidance on the issue, but the conclusions…
Solar reflections from building developments
In our day to day lives we will experience many reflections of the sun from a variety of reflective surfaces in our surrounding environment. From shop windows to car body work and even that annoying glare off of our mobile phone screens. Many surfaces produce reflections which can re-direct the…
