Lee, <div><br></div><div>I haven't had to use any of these bird repellent products, yet, but researching the issue in the past, i came across these <a href="http://www.birdbgone.com/products/bird-control-products">Products</a> (< link)<br>I hope you find something useful.</div><div>I also hear that an owl decoy strategically placed will deter birds from hanging around as well. Although an owl sitting around may attract the odd murder of crows looking for mischief.</div><div>benn </div><div><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY

They are concerned about the birds soiling the modules. I<br>> have suggested putting a wire mesh around the array so that the birds<br>> can't get under the array and build nests. I am concerned about the<br>> nests that will be built along the top of the array on the wire mesh<br>> that I have so conveniently located for them. If there are too many<br>> nests then the air flow up and under the array could be compromised.<br>> <br>> Any thoughts? Possibly spikes along the top of array to discourage<br>> landing, pictures of cats, or warning signs - Birds-High Voltage go<br>> further South<br>> <br>> Thanks!<br>> <br>> Lee<br>> -- <br>> Lee Bristol<br>> NABCEP Certified Solar Designer/Installer<br>> <br>> Co-Founder & Commercial Channel Manager<br>> Standard Solar, Inc.<br>> 1355 Piccard Drive, #300<br>> Rockville, MD 20850<br>> (301) 944-5105<br>> (240) 479-1510 (c)<br>> www.standardsolar.com<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br>> <br>> List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org<br>> <br>> Options & settings:<br>> http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br>> <br>> List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br>> <br>> List rules & etiquette:<br>> www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<br>> <br>> Check out participant bios:<br>> www.members.re-wrenches.org<br>> <br></div> </body>
