Glint Solar Reviews & Product Details

Glint is easy to use and provides many different layers, which saves us from having to search through separate PDFs and data layers from various planning institutions. Restriction analysis have become much faster for us. With the Glint AI Tool Beautify, visualizing a PV project is straightforward, and it delivers great & fast results. That, in turn, saves time and costs. Glint is also ideal for creating an initial layout and for yield estimations. Lastly, I want to highlight the excellent customer support. If pricing doesn't increase, it's a fair offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glint does not include all the important layers. Self-imported layers can only be partially implemented in the restrictions analysis, so you should always double-check that you have reviewed every key layer and not rely solely on the layers available in Glint. Over the past year, Glint has also become a bit more complex, which has made it less user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glint Solar has gone from being av very useful screening software to become the most important tool in our project development. Solgrid started using Glint Solar 5 years ago, when both Solgrid and Glint Solar still were relatively new in the Norwegian marked, and we have always had a good working relationship. Their support department has been excelent, and they will help adding new features quickly if requested. We now use Glint Solar in all phases of our projects, even though we have additonal software for the detail and building phase. When Solgrid established an office in Sweden, we immediately contacted Glint. The programme works seamingless across the border, and it is easy to colaborte with our colleagues in Gothenburg. The software works very well with the other programmes we use, which saves both time and effort. It is easy to use, and with several users it is a very good value for money.

When Solgrid started using Glint Solar, it was still an unfinished product and could only handle some of the features we needed. In addition, the map base and grid overview was too weak, so we could only use the programme for some of the tasks required. However, many good discussions with the founders and the support team have helped solve these issues, and we now have very few remarks in terms of quality, performance or available features. The prgramme was a bit slow in the beginning, but we do not have the same issues these days. The last 2 years Glint has been ahead in terms of adding useful features before requested form our side.

I find Glint Solar to be very intuitive to use and very easy to learn. It doesn't require a lot of training, and I can explain it to a colleague very fast and easily. It's very accessible, allowing all departments to share and find information in the data rooms with visualization features. It's like a dynamic dashboard, enabling everyone to work together globally without needing GIS knowledge or understanding layers. I also value the area analysis tool, which allows me to create restriction profiles and quickly scan large areas for restrictive layers. This saves us a lot of engineering hours and GIS workload, helping us quickly identify potential sites in specific areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I would love to see a bit more is like, task creation so that I can make specific tasks, assign them to my colleagues, and also track different procedures or tasks that I do. The challenge was maybe to import the projects we already created, which was a lot of manual work when switching from QGIS to Glint Solar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Clear overview of projects (incl. a funnel logic)

- Map-based access to each project

- Great level of detail when it comes to planning a project (no unnecessary details; nothing major missing)

- Great performance of the tool (no downtimes; short waiting/simulation times)

- Great UX; easily understandable for every new user; even users non-proficient in PV space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- only a few integrations possible; relevant information re. a project cannot be transferred to an external CRM system (probably specific problem to our company as we have many small projects)

- analyzing areas with a restriction set is limited to a specific area (20 skm) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really appreciate the team behind it and their willingness to listen to feedback and keep improving the platform. It’s thoughtfully designed, easy to use, and it helps us organize our prospects and portfolio across the entire country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When a workflow changes suddenly, it can take some time to get back up to speed—especially when it was a familiar process for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Valuable information available for developmental work streams and growing relevance for EPC and business aspects. The workflow is intuitive, and the map interface is good and easy to use. It’s relatively quick to learn to a useful level. The team is engaged, keen to solve issues, and open to receiving feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a small firm, its a big investment in terms of share of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glint Solar helps bring together solar project's data so that land acquisition, permitting and design teams are all on the same page. Glint combines a clear and easy-to-use UI with all relevant GIS data for solar and BESS developers. The BESS noise modelling tool saves time and money when noise impacts can be considered from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Based on our experience, the solar production simulation is not "bankable" i.e. technical advisors for financial institutions want a PVsyst simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Glint Solar very useful for managing and finding new sites for open field photovoltaics and agri-photovoltaics. I really like the cloud-based nature of Glint Solar because it allows me to communicate and share projects with colleagues easily. The GIS library is incredibly beneficial as it helps me have everything I need in one place, so I don't have to search for information on third-party websites every time. The GIS library is comprehensive, grouping numerous layers which previously had to be managed separately in QGIS/ArcGis. Also, I like the initial setup; for my personal account, it was really easy and straightforward. Furthermore, Glint Solar has made our team a lot faster in finding new sites, resulting in more projects. We're quicker now, which sets us in a good position.

The GIS library has some key layers that cannot be uploaded due to rights, meaning there is still due diligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate about Glint Solar is that it offers us a very good opportunity to work on projects across teams, regardless of whether all team members have technical know-how or not. With the help of Glint, we can create, edit, and evaluate projects very easily and quickly. Setting up Glint was very easy and we found our way around very quickly.

I still find the export quality of the maps not good in terms of resolution. Additionally, I find the layer library confusing due to the multitude of different layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glint Solar really provides a complete tool for managing and developing projects across multiple technologies. Support from the team at Glint is excellent—they’re quick, efficient, and very user-oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricetag of the product is fairly high, but with the support it gives you it is worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
