As solar installations grow near airports, highways, and residential areas, Glint and Glare is becoming a critical concern, not just for aesthetics, but for safety and compliance.
Pilots, drivers, and neighbours may be impacted by reflected sunlight from PV modules.
It can also cause discomfort, eye strain, and even potential for after-image effects.
Glare from solar panels can temporarily blind or distract pilots, especially during takeoff or landing. It can also cause wildlife, particularly birds and insects, to mistake the panels for water bodies, leading to a phenomenon called the "lake effect".
