Take BESS development in-house and de-risk projects from day one.

Screen BESS sites near substations, model preliminary layouts, and identify noise and grid risks early, all in one workspace, before you've spent a euro on external consultants.

Analyze BESS site viability before you spend a euro on consultants.

  • Analyze buildable area, parcel viability, and revenue potential for BESS projects upfront, before committing to external design.

  • Create preliminary BESS layouts using engineering-approved settings and evaluate multiple storage configurations quickly.

  • Identify viable sites near substations and run feasibility checks in-house.

  • What used to take weeks now takes minutes.

BESS site screening and layout design in Glint Solar

Identify noise risks at the design stage, not at the permit stage.

  • Preliminary noise modeling lets you simulate acoustic impacts and understand how topography and barriers affect sound propagation.

  • Identify risks before permit applications or community consultations, not after months of investment.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a consultant's noise or grid study before I can start screening BESS sites?

No. Preliminary noise modeling and grid feasibility checks run inside Glint Solar during site screening. You find out whether a site holds acoustically and commercially before any external consultants are engaged or land is secured.

How does BESS site screening differ from PV in Glint Solar?

BESS sites have specific constraints PV screening doesn't cover: substation proximity, acoustic impact on nearby receivers, and storage configuration viability. Glint Solar applies BESS-specific filters for parcel viability, grid connection distance, and noise propagation, so you shortlist on the criteria that determine whether a BESS site is viable. The BESS development guide covers the full site selection process.

Can I analyse PV and BESS on the same site?

Yes. The hybrid analysis lets you simulate PV, BESS, and hybrid configurations side by side, comparing capacity, yield, and revenue using arbitrage pricing across 18 markets. The simulation runs on your actual site design and grid connection. You're not reconciling two separate tools' assumptions.

What happens when a site fails a noise or grid check?

You find out during design, when the fix is a layout change. The preliminary noise model gives you enough signal to decide whether to proceed, adjust the design, or move on, before permit applications or community consultations are involved.

How does the output feed into finance or permitting?

The platform generates reports that package capacity figures, maps, 3D renders, and noise propagation results in one document. It sits upstream of formal studies, but it's enough to support landowner conversations and investor presentations without external agencies.
