ForgeSolar
The Industry Standard for Solar Glare Analysis
ForgeSolar produces glare hazard assessments that regulators accept, using SGHAT technology we co-developed with Sandia National Laboratories.
Visit ForgeSolarWhat 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.
Low potential for temporary after-image

Potential for permanent eye damage
Key Features
FAA Compliant
Checks your project against FAA requirements. It is the only tool built on the full SGHAT algorithms accepted 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.
Use Cases
Airport Projects
FAA-required analysis for solar near airports
Utility-Scale Solar
Large installation permitting and compliance
Commercial Sites
Rooftop and commercial installations
Transportation
Highway and rail corridor analysis
Developed in Partnership With
Sandia National Laboratories
ForgeSolar co-invented glare analysis methods with Sandia National Laboratories and spent years improving them. The SGHAT technology is the gold standard for solar glare hazard assessment.
