[RE-wrenches] Reducing Glare from Solar Modules

[James Rudolph]

Here in Hawaii we have a few problems with HOA's ( I mean who doesn't) in
regards with this and some other issues. What we are exploring is trying to
install some sort of living growing hedge in between the homes. Another
option is to use mono panels in areas like this in the future.

Aloha,

*Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!               -
