Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GIS team or technical background to use Glint Solar?
No. The platform is built for developers, not GIS specialists. Data layers for your market come pre-loaded, so you apply filters and constraints directly on the map without needing external software or a technical team to run it.
How does the yield analysis compare to PVsyst?
Independently validated at 0% to -2.2% deviation across ten European sites. Results export directly into PVsyst so you can move straight to bankable simulation without rebuilding the project. Read the comparison report.
Can I upload my own GIS data?
Yes. You can bring your own data layers alongside the pre-loaded ones. It's built for teams that have existing datasets and don't want to maintain a parallel GIS workflow just to use prospecting software.
Does it cover BESS and hybrid projects, or just PV?
All three. You can analyse PV, BESS, and hybrid on the same site — capacity, yield, and hybrid revenue with arbitrage pricing across 18 markets. The BESS platform and hybrid analysis run in the same workspace.
What does the prospecting-to-stakeholder workflow actually look like?
Screen sites using constraint filters, shortlist on buildable area and revenue potential, run layout and yield scenarios, then generate a report with capacity figures, maps, and 3D renders — all without leaving the platform or handing off to another team. From first screen to stakeholder pack typically takes hours, not days.
