Questions about Glint Solar
What is Glint Solar?
Glint Solar is the platform for renewable energy development. Solar, battery storage and hybrid developers use it to find and qualify land, design preliminary layouts, show communities and investors what a project will look and sound like, and track every project from prospection to ready-to-build, all on one map. See the platform.
How does Glint Solar help developers find land for solar and battery projects?
You save your site rules, such as distance to a substation, minimum parcel size or flood risk, as a constraint profile, and Glint Solar draws them on the map so land that's ruled out stands out straight away. Buildable Area then calculates the usable footprint of a site, and Land Screening searches whole regions against the same rules in the markets where it's available.
What data does Glint Solar include?
Glint Solar has built-in data layers across 35 countries, with 350+ in Germany, 200+ in Italy, and 150+ each in France and the UK, kept up to date by the Glint team. You can also import your own data as layers and see it on the same map as everything else.
Can Glint Solar design PV, BESS and hybrid projects?
Yes. Glint Solar builds preliminary PV and BESS layouts from your saved equipment profiles in a few clicks, with capacity and yield straight away. For hybrid projects, the PV-BESS hybrid analysis models what the battery adds over the plant's lifetime, using day-ahead prices in 18 markets across Europe and Australia.
How does Glint Solar help with permitting and community engagement?
Glint Solar runs a preliminary noise model of the battery at nearby homes, so you can test a noise wall before anyone asks, and shows the project in 3D. Beautify then turns that view into realistic images for meetings with communities, landowners and investors.
Does Glint Solar work with PVsyst and other tools?
Yes. Glint Solar exports shading scenes to PVsyst, panel layouts as DXF and yield data to Excel, and the Project API keeps projects, parcels and contacts in sync with your CRM or project management system.
How do teams manage their pipeline in Glint Solar?
Every project sits on a board in its development stage, with its parcels, contacts, comments and files attached, and Site Control tracks where each parcel stands. Dashboards turn the whole pipeline into charts for management and investors.
Does Glint Solar use AI?
Yes. Glint AI is an assistant inside the platform that carries out tasks you describe in plain language, like drawing and editing a layout, running analyses and comparing the results. It's available to selected customers, and Beautify uses AI to create realistic images of a project.
