SOLAR SECTOR
We offer a range of services for the Solar sector including glint and glare assessments, planning consultation, design and feasibility studies for solar developments of any scale. Plus specialist services including agrivoltaics shading and electromagnetic field (EMF) assessments.
Glint and Glare
Manage planning risk by evidencing whether solar reflections could affect aviation, road, rail, or nearby dwellings. Services include desk-based analysis, site surveys, screening analysis, layout optimisation, and management plans, providing clear evidence and practical mitigation where possible.
Aviation and Radar
Assess whether your solar project is compatible with aviation and radar operations and infrastructure. Services include aviation safeguarding, radar and CNS impacts, obstruction analysis (OLS), and more. Independent evidence clarifies impacts, informs design decisions, and helps address aviation stakeholder requirements.
Electromagnetic Fields Assessment (EMF)
Confirm compliance with EMF safety guidelines and compatibility with nearby equipment and infrastructure. Our assessments provide trusted evidence that informs consultees, addresses planning requirements, and helps developers demonstrate their projects are safe and technically robust.
Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA)
Pager Power author robust technical chapters on glint and glare, aviation impact, telecommunications impact, EMF, and more. Accessible reporting supports EIA requirements, informs consultees, and ensures environmental effects of solar projects are presented clearly for decision-makers.
Planning Support and Stakeholder Consultation
Navigate complex planning processes with independent advice that resolves technical issues and engages stakeholders effectively. Services include technical input, consultation management, and expert representation, helping reduce delays and strengthen confidence in solar projects.
Our Projects
Green Shield Group proposed a rooftop solar project at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, near London City Airport, requiring a glint and glare assessment for planning approval.
SSE proposed the development of rooftop solar photovoltaic panels on the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As part of the application, a request from Belfast City Airport was received for a Glint and Glare Assessment with respect to aviation infrastructure.
In 2016, Elgin Energy commissioned Pager Power Ltd to investigate and assess the possible effects of glint and glare from a proposed solar photovoltaic (PV) development located northwest of Tullamore in County Offaly, Ireland. The development is known as the Tullamore Solar Farm.
In 2017, Arcus Consultancy Services commissioned Pager Power Ltd to investigate and assess the possible effects of glint and glare from a proposed solar photovoltaic (PV) development located one mile northeast of Faversham, Kent, UK. The development is known as Cleve Hill Solar Park.
