ARGO-E completed a comprehensive photorealistic visualization study for photovoltaic installations in Western Greece, supporting the project’s permitting and licensing process.

The study included extensive on-site photographic documentation from eighteen (18) representative viewpoints within and around the settlement, captured at realistic eye-level height (1.70–1.80 m). High-resolution visual simulations were produced for thirteen (13) visible viewpoints, while additional positions confirmed full visual obstruction due to existing buildings and vegetation.

Four alternative layout scenarios (100% and 80% capacity, with and without specific sub-areas) were evaluated, providing a structured framework for design optimization and stakeholder communication.

Using accurate 3D reconstruction of PV modules, integration into a Digital Surface Model, and advanced photo-matching techniques, the final renderings ensured precise terrain alignment, lighting conditions, and camera perspective.

The project demonstrates how reality-based visual simulation enhances transparency, reduces permitting risk, and strengthens engagement with local communities.
