<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>People and animals have walked into PV ground
mounts (and wind tower guy wires) in the dark. Livestock and wild animals have
used arrays and other ground mounted equipment for scratching posts. Children

nuisance). Fences are used to keep animals away from arrays and equipment and
limit human liability issues.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m curious to hear any horror stories (or simple
nuisances) relating to open field ground mounted arrays involving
wildlife. Either wildlife or array being damaged by the other. The
only hassles we’ve had have been the occasional squirrel under flush mounted
rooftop arrays. We’ve had a few ground mounted arrays up and running for
over 5 years and I’ve never seen any issues. We are now getting ready to
install another ground mount (NJ location), and the customer has asked the
question.<o:p></o:p></P>
