blinded by the light?! [RE-wrenches]

[Tom Elliot, Guffey Energy Works]

Marco,

I think you fight it by getting someone to take you up in a small plane
around that area and photograhing all the buildings with bright roofs
(common I'll bet in Hawaii for coolness), lots of windows and other
reflective infrastructure in the same area. I'll bet there are plenty. Make
the point that they can't make such an argument only valid for PV, if
reflection is the concern they have to remove all reflective surfaces around
that area.

> Just when you thought you had heard it all....We're trying to confirm a 25
kW a-Si project at a location which is in close proximity to an airport.
The PV system would be architecturally integrated into this new building and
would be a real attention grabber.  Well, some attention that we didn't
necessarily want is from the state agency which has jurisdiction for the
land surrounding the airport.  They're concerned that the PV array could
pose as a reflective light flight hazard for incoming and outgoing
commercial and general aviation aircraft.  How do you fight that?  We've got
our friends at BP Solar on board to assist us as we deal with the
"bureaucrats" but any additional help from you all would he much
appreciated.  How can we deal with this?
