Foes of Solar will make up any excuse not to use PV. Marines at Miramar
Air Base did not want PV because someone there thought glare from the PV
modules would bother pilots. On the other hand, the Navy at San Diego
asked about glare from PV modules and was told that glare has never been a
problem with airplanes. Every day, Navy planes fly over the 90,000 sq ft
of PV being installed at the San Diego North Island Naval Base.
