What is Solar Glare Analysis?

Solar panels and reflective surfaces can create glare that poses safety hazards for pilots, air traffic controllers, and motorists. Regulatory agencies worldwide require glare hazard assessments before approving solar installations near airports, highways, and other sensitive locations.

Green

Low potential for temporary after-image

Yellow

Potential for temporary after-image

Red

Potential for permanent eye damage

Key Features

FAA Compliant

Assesses FAA requirements for solar energy projects. The only tool using comprehensive SGHAT algorithms approved for regulatory submissions.

SGHAT Technology

We co-invented the original Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool technology with Sandia National Laboratories. We've spent years refining it.

Comprehensive Analysis

Analyze entire flight paths, discrete receptor points, roads, rail, and vertical reflective surfaces. Includes luminance and irradiance calculations with minute-by-minute resolution.

Global Standards

Complies with US FAA, EU agencies, and international requirements. Used globally for aviation, transportation, and residential permitting.
