What is PV Solar Glint and Glare

 

Phoventus conducted a FAA Standard Glint and Glare Assessment in Riverside, All potential flight paths and any nearby Air Traffic Control Towers were considered with the use of GlareGauge software. By providing studies that showed low glint and glare risk for pilots, Phoventus enabled developers and constructors to remain within rigid safety guidelines. Such extensive analytics went into this project requiring extensive physical calculations determining appropriate glint and glare angles around March Air Force Base in Riverside, CA.

Who is concerned about glint and glare?

Concerns can come from a variety of places. Requirements for formal assessment most often come from stakeholders with infrastructure in the area (such as airports and railway operators), local or national authorities (such as planning authorities and highway agencies) and local residents. 

Aviation

FAA controlled Airports in the area surrounding a solar photovoltaic development routinely require technical assessment in the interest of safety.

Roads and Dwellings

In Alberta road users and observers in residential dwellings surrounding a solar photovoltaic development routinely require technical assessment in the interest of safety and residential amenity respectively.

Railway Operators

Railway operators in the area surrounding a solar photovoltaic development routinely require technical assessment in the interest of safety.

What are the benefits of
Phoventus Glint and Glare Assessment?

Phoventus glint and glare assessments are comprehensive, covering all technical aspects that are regularly required. For all receptors, the dates and times at which effects could be experienced are quantified. For approaching pilots, the relevant intensity calculations are undertaken in accordance with the industry standard methodology.

All Phoventus reports are designed to be: 

  • Comprehensive – covering all the relevant aspects for each individual proposed development. 
  • Up-to-date with reference to current guidelines from the relevant bodies and recent industry developments.
  • Understandable to non-experts and experts alike.

Case Study

Riverside County, California

Phoventus conducted a Glint and Glare Assessment in Riverside, CA for StellarSolar. All potential flight paths and any nearby Air Traffic Control Towers were considered with the use of GlareGauge software. By providing studies that showed low glint and glare risk for pilots, Phoventus enabled developers and constructors to remain within rigid safety guidelines. Such extensive analytics went into this project requiring extensive physical calculations determining appropriate glint and glare angles around March Air Force Base in Riverside, CA.
