SALA Standardized Feasibility Study for Solar AGL

The SALA Feasibility Study App verifies whether a solar airfield lighting system can operate reliably throughout the year — before any investment is made.

A simple tool to answer a critical question:

Will solar AGL work at your airport — all year round?

It uses a standardized methodology based on PVGIS (European Commission) and real weather data to simulate how solar generation, battery storage, and lighting demand interact in real conditions.

Feasibility study report for Madrid Airport's solar airfield lighting system, showing the system is fully energy-sustainable, with no blackout days expected, and a device meeting all requirements.
Device performance report showing solar panel specifications, battery details, daily energy balance, and performance metrics.

The result is simple and clear:

  • Required operating hours vs. actual performance

  • Number of blackout days per year

  • Pass / Fail compliance result

You get a clear result:

  • operating hours achieved

  • blackout days (if any)

  • pass/fail compliance

No assumptions. No marketing claims.
Just a verified answer before you invest.
