Trusted by Ireland's Solar Sector
From individual farmers to national energy companies — here's what our clients say about working with SolarPlan Ireland.
"SolarPlan Ireland turned around our glint and glare report in three weeks — well ahead of our planning submission deadline. The report answered every query from the council's planning officer and we received permission without needing a further information request."
Ciarán O'Brien
Development Director
Renewable Energy Developer, Leinster
"The Landscape Plan produced for our Tipperary project was exceptionally thorough. Working from our LVIA, the planting scheme and ZTV mapping clearly demonstrated the limited visual impact of the development and convinced an initially skeptical planning authority."
Aoife Murphy
Senior Project Manager
Utilities Contractor, Munster
"As a farmer exploring agri-voltaic options, I needed someone who understood both the agricultural and planning sides. SolarPlan explained everything clearly and their planning drawings were exactly what the council needed."
Seán Gallagher
Farm Owner
Agricultural Landowner, Connacht
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from solar developers and landowners across Ireland.
We work exclusively with businesses — planning consultants, solar developers, EPC contractors, land agents, and energy companies. We do not work directly with end consumers. If you are a business that needs reliable Irish solar planning documentation delivered to your standard and timeline, we are the right partner.
We regularly produce reports that are submitted under our partner's letterhead and brand as part of their planning submission. We can also deliver standalone technical appendices if you prefer. We discuss your preferred format at kick-off and work to it consistently across every project.
Yes — our India-based team is structured to run multiple concurrent projects across different Irish counties and project types. If you have a pipeline of projects, we can agree a framework arrangement and a dedicated team to manage your volume with consistent quality and turnaround.
A glint and glare assessment uses computer modelling to predict whether solar panels will cause problematic reflections affecting neighbouring properties, road users, or aviation. Irish planning authorities routinely request it for ground-mounted solar farms and some commercial rooftop systems. Submitting proactively — rather than in response to a further information request — significantly reduces planning risk for your client.
A Landscape Plan is a planning-standard drawing showing proposed planting, screening, and landscape mitigation measures. We produce it from the LVIA or arboriculture report your specialist or your client's consultant has already prepared — send us those documents and we translate the findings into a clear drawing set accepted by all Irish planning authorities.
Our standard turnaround for a glint and glare assessment is 2–4 weeks from receipt of complete site drawings. Landscape Plans typically take 2–3 weeks. Expedited delivery in 7–10 working days is available for urgent planning deadlines — contact us to discuss your programme.
Yes. We work on projects throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our team is trained in both the Republic's planning system (An Bord Pleanála, local authorities) and Northern Ireland's system (Planning Appeals Commission, local councils).
Send us a brief — project location, scale, and what reports you need. We will respond within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. No lengthy procurement process, no sales calls unless you want one. Most partners are fully onboarded and receiving work within 48 hours of first contact.
