Agri-PV, also known as agrivoltaics or dual-use solar, is becoming one of the most promising innovations in utility-scale solar development. By combining solar energy production with ongoing agricultural use on the same land, Agri-PV provides a compelling solution to one of the industry’s biggest constraints: access to land.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are fast becoming one of the most critical enablers in utility-scale energy development. Whether deployed alongside solar or as standalone infrastructure, BESS helps developers unlock project viability in areas facing curtailment, congestion, or limited grid headroom.
DVP Solar, a pioneering force in the development of large-scale photovoltaic solar projects, has always been driven by a commitment to innovation and efficiency. With over 3 GW of projects under development across Europe and Latin America, DVP Solar embraced Glint Solar’s platform to supercharge its project qualification process.

Are you a solar developer striving for precision and efficiency from the beginning of your development process? Look no further than Glint Solar—a powerful tool used by teams that want the best possible starting point for their projects, minimizing risks early and optimizing for accurate permit-approved projects.
Landowner conversations are a critical step in every utility-scale solar project. But when it comes to Agri-PV, where solar infrastructure and agriculture must co-exist on the same land, those conversations get more complex, and more consequential.
The Finnish government has set a bold goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 and to become carbon-negative thereafter. As a result, the race is on to identify the best solar sites and develop them as efficiently as possible. So what should solar developers know about the Finnish grid system?
A solar park is a group of solar plants located in the same location. The thousands of solar panels in these parks are capable of producing new levels of installed capacity, with the largest plants being more than 2 GW today.

To dive deeper into the exciting developments of hydropower-floating solar hybridization, we sat down with perhaps the world’s foremost expert on this field, Stanislas Merlet. At Glint Solar, we're extremely interested in advancements in solar development and we're always looking to learn more.
Picture this: you’re a solar developer knee-deep in the pre-permit grind. You’re scouring maps for sites close to a substation, wrestling with slope and environmental data to avoid a design disaster, and trying to whip up visuals that won’t make landowners’ eyes doubt over your plan.
The power grid plays a crucial role as the world shifts towards renewable energy, but what are the obstacles in this transition?
The market has fundamentally shifted. Our role has evolved from optimizing yield to providing the data and foresight developers need to ensure project bankability despite financial headwinds.
In France, developers must prove fields deliver 90% of their original crop yield while keeping solar coverage below strict limits. This webinar shines a light on how policies like these are shaping real projects and what developers need to know to succeed.
Today we're thrilled to announce an $8 million Series A funding round led by Smedvig Ventures with participation from Momentum, Futurum Ventures, and Antler!
One of the areas that separates floating solar from ground-mount solar is anchoring and mooring.
As global energy demands rise and governments push for renewable energy solutions, Agri-PV has gained traction as a viable approach to balancing food production with solar energy generation.
Discover the Nordic grid system's intricacies and seize solar prospects across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland in this comprehensive guide.
Every solar or storage project starts with the same basic question: “Can we build here?”
A shift to grid-first prospecting is helping developers move faster, avoid dead ends, and align internal teams around buildable sites from day one.
At Glint Solar, we know that the road from concept to construction is rarely linear. One of the most underestimated and frequently project-stalling challenges? Noise concerns.
Battery energy storage is reshaping how utility-scale projects are planned, screened, and built. As interconnection queues grow longer and solar-only designs face economic headwinds, BESS is becoming a key lever for improving grid access, stabilizing returns, and meeting permitting expectations.
We unveil the top five pre-construction solar projects set to reshape Europe's energy landscape.
This article breaks down how developers are accelerating early-stage BESS design using smarter workflows and integrated tools.
