Sunlight reflected off solar panels can flash into a control tower, a cockpit, a road, or a building. We measure when that happens, how strong it is, and write it up so you can lodge it with the regulator in your country (FAA), ATNS (South Africa), include it in an Environmental Impact Assessment, or put it in a tender.
PQRS does independent engineering for energy and aviation projects — the kind of useful analysis that makes sense.
What we do
- Glint and glare studies — sunlight bouncing off PV into airports, flightpaths, helistops, roads, and buildings. We write the report you lodge with your regulator. We do the study, and can continue refining the design until it meets the regulatory requirements, but we do not guarantee approval.
- Lightning risk analysis
- Energy engineering and Energy Performance Certificates
- Electrical test reports
Glint and glare
Use the calculator on a computer as the complexity is difficult to manage through a small screen like a mobile phone . If you want to see how we model it, read the methodology. For the South African aviation rules (Notice 3/2020, ATNS, FAA 2021), see South Africa G&G and the FAA.
