EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The Solar Energy Facilities Design and Development Guidelines, 2019, triggers the assessment of glint 
and glare resulting from solar farms including potential impacts to dwellings and roads within 1 km 
of  a  proposed  facility,  aviation  infrastructure  including  any  air  traffic  control  tower  or  runway 
approach path close to a proposed facility, and any other receptor to which a responsible authority 
considers solar reflection may be a hazard. 
This glint and glare impact assessment utilised the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT 3.0) in 
conjunction with a viewshed analysis, to prepare the glint and glare modelling which is the basis for 
the impact assessment methodology. The assessment considered dwellings and roads within 2km 
of the Project.  
The closest airport to the Project is more than 20km from the site, outside the influence of potential 
glare impacts, therefore air traffic control towers and runway approach paths were not included in 
the assessment. 
Based on the assumptions and parameters of this desktop assessment, the following results were 
identified: 
 No glare potential was found to affect dwellings and roads within 1km of the Project when 
the solar farm is operating normally using a horizontal single axis tracking system;  
 In addition, no glare potential was found to affect dwellings and roads up to 2km from the 
Project;  
 No glare potential was identified for dwellings and roads when the tracking system resting 
angle was set at 45 degrees – simulating a backtracking operation; 
 When the glare modelling simulated the horizontal tracking system reverting directly to the 
stowing angle of 0 degrees once the PV modules reached maximum tilt, a small amount of 
glare potential was identified affecting two dwellings within 1km of the Project. However 
existing  vegetation  and  buildings  (sheds)  between  the  solar  farm  and  the  dwellings  are 
considered likely to screen this small amount of potential glare. 
Under normal operation of the solar farm the risk of glare affecting roads and dwellings within 2km 
of the Project was identified as ‘negligible’.

1. INTRODUCTION 

This report has been prepared by Environmental Ethos on behalf of Green Gold Energy to assess the 
potential solar glint and glare impact of the proposed Hendys Road Solar Farm (the Project), located 
at 574 Hendys Road, Numurkah, Victoria.  The Project comprises of the installation and operation of 
a solar farm up to 5MW AC, which will utilise photovoltaic (PV) modules to generate electricity.  
The Project site is located on Lot 2 of PS613623U, the footprint of the proposed PV arrays will cover 
an area of approximately 9.6 hectares (ha). The PV arrays will run north/south and will be mounted 
on a single axis horizontal tracking system. The solar panels, including the mounting structures, will 
be a maximum height of 4 metres.  

1.1. Location 
The Project site is located approximately 4 kilometres north of Numurkah, refer Figure 1. The Project 
site adjoins Naring Hall Road on the southern boundary. The site is zoned FZ1 Farming Zone and is 
currently used for cropping and grazing. Farming is the predominant land use within the area.

3. METHODOLOGY 

3.1. Glint and Glare Definitions 
Glint and glare refers to the human experience of reflected light.  
This  study  utilises  Solar  Glare  Hazard  Analysis  software  developed  in  the  USA  to  address  policy 
adherence required for the 2013 U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Interim Policy 78 FR 
63276. The FAA definitions of glint and glare are as follows:  
“Reflectivity refers to light that is reflected off surfaces.  The potential effects of reflectivity are glint 
(a momentary flash of bright light) and glare (a continuous source of bright light). These two effects 
are referred  to hereinafter as “glare,” which can cause  a brief loss of vision,  also known as flash 
blindness.”1 
The  FAA  Technical  Guidelines  distinguishes  between  glint  and  glare  according  to  time  duration, 
without correlation to light intensity.  
The Solar Energy Facilities Design and Development Guidelines,  20192 (Development Guidelines), 
identifies the difference between glint and glare as intensity:

“Glint can be caused by direct reflection of the sun from the surface of an object, whereas glare is a 
continuous source of brightness. Glare is much less intense than glint.”(p23) 
This differentiation is consistent with the descriptions of glint and glare as: 

 Glint being specular reflection, a momentary flash of light produced as a direct reflection of 
the sun in the surface of an object (such as a PV panel); and  

 Glare being a continuous source of brightness relative to the ambient lighting, glare is not a 
direct reflection of the sun, but rather a reflection of the bright sky around the sun.  
Solar Glare Hazard Analysis software evaluates the potential impact of light produced as a direct 
reflection of the sun from PV modules, this is consistent with the Development Guidelines reference 
to ‘glint’, as the more intense type of solar reflectivity. However, the FAA Guidelines refers to direct 
solar reflection from stationary objects such as fixed frame solar systems, or relatively slow moving 
objects such as solar tracking systems, as ‘glare’ since the source of the solar reflectance occurs over 
a long (not momentary) duration. 
For the purpose of this study the term ‘glare’ is used in reference to the more intense light impact 
of  direct  solar  reflectivity  from  PV  modules  over  potentially  long  duration  (consistent  with 
terminology used by Solar Glare Hazard Analysis software based on FAA Guidelines). The assessment 
of direct solar reflectivity from PV modules addresses the Development Guidelines requirements to 
consider  the  impacts  of  glint  (defined  as  the  more  intense  solar  reflectivity),  and  also  glare  as  a 
reflection of light surrounding the sun.  

3.2. Glare Assessment Parameters 
Glare assessment modelling for solar farms is based on the following factors:  
 the tilt, orientation, and optical properties of the PV modules in the solar array;  
 sun position over time, taking into account geographic location; 
 the location of sensitive receptors (viewers); and 
 Screening potential of surrounding topography and vegetation. 

3.3. Glare Intensity Categories 
The potential hazard from solar glare is a function of retinal irradiance (power of electromagnetic 
radiation per unit area produced by the sun) and the subtended angle (size and distance) of the 
glare source.3  

Glare can be broadly classified into three categories: low potential for after‐image, potential for 
after‐image, and potential for permanent eye damage, Figure 2 illustrates the glare intensity 
categories used in this study.

Figure 2. Ocular impacts and Hazard Ranges4 
The  amount  of  light  reflected  from  a  PV  module  depends  on  the  amount  of  sunlight  hitting  the 
surface, as well as the surface reflectivity. The amount of sunlight interacting with the PV module 
will  vary  based  on  geographic  location,  time  of  year,  cloud  cover,  and  PV  module  orientation. 
1000W/m2 is generally used in most counties as an estimate of the solar energy interacting with a 
PV module when no other information is available. This study modelled scenarios using 2000 W/m2 
in order to cover potentially higher solar energy levels in Australia as compared to other parts of the 
world. Flash blindness for a period of 4‐12 seconds (i.e. time to recovery of vision) occurs when 7‐
11 W/m2 (or 650‐1,100 lumens/m2) reaches the eye5.  

3.4. Reflection and Angle of Incidence 
PV modules are designed to maximise the absorption of solar energy and therefore minimise the 
extent of solar energy reflected. PV modules have low levels of reflectivity between 0.03 and 0.20 
depending on the specific materials, anti‐reflective coatings, and angle of incidence.6  
The higher reflectivity values of 0.20, that is 20% of incident light being reflected, can occur when 
the angle of incidence is greater than 50o. Figure 3 and 4 show the relationship between increased 
angles of incidence and increased levels of reflected light. Where the angle of incidence remains 
below 50° the amount of reflected light remains below 10%. The angle of incidence is particularly

relevant  to  specular  reflection  (light  reflection  from  a  smooth  surface).    Diffuse  reflection  (light 
reflection from a rough surface) may also occur in PV modules, however this is typically a result of 
dust or similar materials building up on the PV module surface, which would potentially reduce the 
reflection.

The sun changes its east‐west orientation throughout the day, and the sun’s north‐south position in 
the sky changes throughout the year. The sun reaches its highest position at noon on the Summer 
Solstice (21 December in the Southern Hemisphere) and its lowest position at sunrise and sunset on 
the Winter Solstice (21 June in the Southern Hemisphere). 
In a fixed PV solar array, the angle of incidence varies as the sun moves across the sky, that is the 
angle of incidence are at their lowest around noon where the sun is directly overhead, and increase 
in the early mornings and late evenings as the incidence angles increase. If the PV array is mounted 
on a tracking system, this variation is reduced because the panel is rotated to remain perpendicular 
to the sun. Therefore a PV modular array using a tracking system has less potential to cause glare 
whilst  it  tracks  the  sun.  Figure  5  illustrates  a  PV  module  mounted  horizontal  single  axis  tracking 
system following the east to west path of the sun. 
A single axis tracking system has a fixed maximum angle of rotation, once the tracking mechanism 
reaches  this  maximum  angle,  the  PV  modules  position  relative  to  the  sun  becomes  fixed  and 
therefore  the  angle  of  incidence  increases  and  the  potential  for  glare  increases.  Some  tracking 
systems  utilise  ‘backtracking’  to  avoid  PV  modules  over‐shadowing  each  other.  During  the 
backtracking  procedure  (early  morning  and  late  afternoon)  the  tracking  system  begins  to  rotate 
away from the sun to reduce shadow casting to adjoining PV panels. During the backtracking phase, 
higher angles of incidence will occur in comparison to the tracking phase, and this may increase the 
potential for glare.

3.5. Viewshed Analysis 
A desktop viewshed analysis was undertaken using ArcGIS 3D modelling. The extent of visibility of 
the  proposed  solar  farm  was  assessed  relative  to  the  location  of  sensitive  receptors  (dwellings, 
roads,  etc.)  The  desktop  viewshed  analysis  is  based  on  topography  only  and  does  not  take  into 
consideration the screening effect of vegetation.  

3.6. Solar Glare Hazard Analysis 
This assessment has utilised the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT 3.0) co‐developed by Sandi 
National Laboratory7 and ForgeSolar (Sim Industries) (referred to as GlareGauge) to assess potential 
glare utilising latitude and longitudinal coordinates, elevation, sun position, and vector calculations. 
The PV module orientation, reflectance environment and ocular factors are also considered by the 
software. If potential glare is identified by the model, the tool calculates the retinal irradiance and 
subtended angle (size/distance) of the glare source to predict potential ocular hazards according to 
the glare intensity categories (refer Section 3.3). 
The sun position algorithm used by SGHAT calculates the sun position in two forms: first as a unit 
vector extending from the Cartesian origin toward the sun, and second as azimuthal and altitudinal 
angles.  The  algorithm  enables  determination  of  the  sun  position  at  one  (1)  minute  intervals 
throughout the year. 
The SGHAT is a high level tool and does not take into consideration the following factors: 

 Backtracking or the effect of shading in relation to the PV array tracking system; 

 Gaps between PV modules; 

 Atmospheric conditions; and 

 Vegetation between the solar panels and the viewer (sensitive receptor). 
SGHAT has been used extensively in the United States to assess the potential impact of solar arrays 
located in close proximity to airports. The US Federal Aviation Administration requires the use of 
SGHAT  to  demonstrated  compliance  with  the  safety  requirements  of  all  proposed  solar  energy 
systems located at federally obligated airports. Used in conjunction with a viewshed analysis, the 
two tools represent a conservative assessment. 

3.7. Risk Assessment 
Once the potential for glare has been identified through the viewshed analysis and SGHAT, a risk 
assessment  approach  is  used  to  identify  the  potential  significance  of  the  hazard  based  on  the 
magnitude of the glare hazard generated, distance from the Project, existing vegetation, and the 
sensitivity of the receptors (viewers). Mitigation measures are then considered to avoid, reduce or 
manage the identified risks.

4. EXISTING CONDITIONS 

The  baseline  is  a  statement  of  the  characteristics  which  currently  exist  in  the  Project  area.    The 
baseline glare condition assessment takes into consideration the following: 

 Characteristics of the environment that may affect the potential for glare; 

 Land use and human modifications to the landscape such as roads, buildings and existing 
infrastructure which may influence glare and sensitivity to glare. 

4.1. Baseline Conditions 
The  Project  site  is  located  within  a  flat  rural  landscape.  Baseline  conditions  within  this  area  are 
characteristic of a rural landscape, being flat cropping and grazing land with scattered patches of 
native vegetation and shelterbelt planting. Vegetation along the Naring Hall Road on the Project 
site’s  southern  boundary  consists  of  scattered  native  trees,  providing  limited  screening.  Some 
vegetation screening is provided to the south east by shelterbelt planting on the adjoining lot.  
Existing dwellings in the area consist of rural homesteads and residential properties within the Rural 
Living  Zone  to  the  west  of  the  Project  site.  In  general  rural  and  rural  residential  dwellings  are 
surrounded by planted trees both native and introduced species.  
Constructed elements within the landscape include roads, the rail line to the west, powerlines, rural 
buildings (including large sheds), and irrigation canals. 
Existing features in the landscape with the potential to contribute to glare include water bodies, and 
the open irrigation channels hold water which may contribute to glare. However, these channels are 
below ground level and surrounded by vegetation such as sedges and reeds, the contribution to 
glare is therefore limited and not considered significant.  

4.2. Atmospheric Conditions 
Atmospheric  conditions  such  as  cloud  cover,  dust  and  haze  will  impact  light  reflection,  however 
these factors have not  been accounted for in this  glare assessment. The Bureau of  Meteorology 
statistics for Tocumwal Airport 29 km from the Project site (the closest BOM records for cloud cover 
statistics) recorded 99 cloudy days per year (mean number over the period 1970 to 2010)8. Cloudy 
days predominantly occur during the winter months, June to August. Since atmospheric conditions 
have not been factored into this assessment modelling, statistically the glare potential represents a 
conservative assessment.   

5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

The general layout of the solar farm is as shown in Figure 6. The main elements of the Solar Farm 
with  the  potential  to  influence  glare  are  the  tilt,  orientation,  and  optical  properties  of  the  PV 
modules in the solar array, and the rotational capabilities of the system. Whilst specific products are 
yet  to  be  determined  for  the  Project,  the  general  technical  properties  of  the  main  elements 
influencing glare are described below.

5.1. PV modules 
Each PV panel typically comprises of 72 polycrystalline silicon solar cells overlayed by a 3.2 to 4.0 
mm tempered glass front and held in an anodised aluminium alloy frame. Half cut cell technology is 
also  available  which  consists  of  144  monocrystalline  cells  connected  in  series  to  reduce  ribbon 
resistant. Dual‐glass and frameless PV systems area also available. The approximate dimensions for 
a typical solar panel is 2 metres x 1 metre. The proposed solar array arrangement for this Project is 
two (2) solar panels in portrait, resulting in an array width of approximately 4 metres.  

5.2. Horizontal single axis tracking system 
A horizontal single axis tracking system rotates the PV panels across an east to west arc, following 
the sun’s trajectory across the sky. The purpose of the tracking system is to optimize solar energy 
collection by holding the PV module perpendicular to the sun. The tracking system is capable of a 
maximum rotation range of 90o (+/‐ 45o) or 120o   (+/‐ 60o) depending on the system used. The Project 
modelling utilised a rotation range of 120o   (+/‐ 60o), refer Figure 7.  

 
Figure 7. Illustration of PV Module Rotation Angles 
 
 
The zenith tilt angle of the panels was assumed to be set at zero, that is, the panels are not tilted on 
a north – south alignment but remain horizontal along the plane of the tracker. This enables the 
height of the panel to remain consistent relative to each other and avoids potential over shadowing.  
  
The maximum height of the PV modules above natural ground was assumed to be approximately 4 
metres, a height of 4 metres was used in the modelling. The glare assessment modelling uses an 
analytical approach to simulate light reflection from a planar PV footprint relative to the location of

sensitive receptors. By using a maximum height above ground, the model represents a worst case 
scenario since the panels are considered likely to be slightly lower than the maximum. 
 
The configuration of the tracking system rows vary slightly dependent on the type of system used, 
generally rows are approximately 5‐7 metres apart. Figure 8 and Plate 1 show a typical layout for a 
horizontal single axis tracking system.

 When the model simulated the horizontal tracking system reverting directly to the stowing 
angle of 0  degrees once the PV modules reached  maximum  tilt, a small amount of glare 
potential was identified affecting two dwellings. However existing vegetation and buildings 
(sheds) between the solar farm and the dwellings are considered likely to screen this small 
amount of potential glare. 
Under normal operation of the solar farm the risk of glare affecting roads and dwellings within 2km 
of the Project was identified as ‘negligible’.

Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour.
Glare analyses do not account for physical obstructions between reflectors and receptors. This includes buildings, tree cover and geographic
obstructions.
Detailed system geometry is not rigorously simulated.
The glare hazard determination relies on several approximations including observer eye characteristics, angle of view, and typical blink
response time. Actual values and results may vary.
The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of
more rigorous modeling methods.
Several calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot loca ion, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect
results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare.
The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will
reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger han the sub-array size. Additiona
analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on relate
limitations.)
Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a
continuous, not discrete, spectrum.
Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot loca ions may differ.
Glare vector plots are simplified representations of analysis data. Actual glare emanations and results may differ.
Glare analysis methods used: OP V1, FP V1, Route V1

Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour.
Glare analyses do not account for physical obstructions between reflectors and receptors. This includes buildings, tree cover and geographic
obstructions.
Detailed system geometry is not rigorously simulated.
The glare hazard determination relies on several approximations including observer eye characteristics, angle of view, and typical blink
response time. Actual values and results may vary.
The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of
more rigorous modeling methods.
Several calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot loca ion, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect
results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare.
The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will
reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger han the sub-array size. Additiona
analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on relate
limitations.)
Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a
continuous, not discrete, spectrum.
Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot loca ions may differ.
Glare vector plots are simplified representations of analysis data. Actual glare emanations and results may differ.
Glare analysis methods used: OP V1, FP V1, Route V1

Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour.
Glare analyses do not account for physical obstructions between reflectors and receptors. This includes buildings, tree cover and geographic
obstructions.
Detailed system geometry is not rigorously simulated.
The glare hazard determination relies on several approximations including observer eye characteristics, angle of view, and typical blink
response time. Actual values and results may vary.
The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of
more rigorous modeling methods.
Several calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot loca ion, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect
results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare.
The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will
reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger han the sub-array size. Additiona
analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on relate
limitations.)
Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a
continuous, not discrete, spectrum.
Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot loca ions may differ.
Glare vector plots are simplified representations of analysis data. Actual glare emanations and results may differ.
Glare analysis methods used: OP V1, FP V1, Route V1

Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour.
Glare analyses do not account for physical obstructions between reflectors and receptors. This includes buildings, tree cover and geographic
obstructions.
Detailed system geometry is not rigorously simulated.
The glare hazard determination relies on several approximations including observer eye characteristics, angle of view, and typical blink
response time. Actual values and results may vary.
The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of
more rigorous modeling methods.
Several calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot loca ion, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect
results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare.
The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will
reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger han the sub-array size. Additiona
analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on relate
limitations.)
Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a
continuous, not discrete, spectrum.
Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot loca ions may differ.
Glare vector plots are simplified representations of analysis data. Actual glare emanations and results may differ.
Glare analysis methods used: OP V1, FP V1, Route V1

Times associated with glare are denoted in Standard time. For Daylight Savings, add one hour.
Glare analyses do not account for physical obstructions between reflectors and receptors. This includes buildings, tree cover and geographic
obstructions.
Detailed system geometry is not rigorously simulated.
The glare hazard determination relies on several approximations including observer eye characteristics, angle of view, and typical blink
response time. Actual values and results may vary.
The system output calculation is a DNI-based approximation that assumes clear, sunny skies year-round. It should not be used in place of
more rigorous modeling methods.
Several calculations utilize the PV array centroid, rather than the actual glare spot loca ion, due to algorithm limitations. This may affect
results for large PV footprints. Additional analyses of array sub-sections can provide additional information on expected glare.
The subtended source angle (glare spot size) is constrained by the PV array footprint size. Partitioning large arrays into smaller sections will
reduce the maximum potential subtended angle, potentially impacting results if actual glare spots are larger han the sub-array size. Additiona
analyses of the combined area of adjacent sub-arrays can provide more information on potential glare hazards. (See previous point on relate
limitations.)
Hazard zone boundaries shown in the Glare Hazard plot are an approximation and visual aid. Actual ocular impact outcomes encompass a
continuous, not discrete, spectrum.
Glare locations displayed on receptor plots are approximate. Actual glare-spot loca ions may differ.
Glare vector plots are simplified representations of analysis data. Actual glare emanations and results may differ.
Glare analysis methods used: OP V1, FP V1, Route V1
