Is adjusting the tilt angle an option?
Or a vertical decorative screen at the eve?
If the neighbors windows are facing close to E or W, the exterior sunscreen
would be a big energy saver for the neighbor. Relatively inexpensive , and then
a win/win.

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Reducing Glare from Solar Modules
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,

We have a customer who is up against a very unhappy neighborhood in Wyoming
regarding his solar installation. It consists of 24, Schott Poly mods flush
mounted on a 4/12 pitch, metal standing seam roof. The next door neighbor is
complaining that the glare from the modules is blinding him at certain points
in the day (and year).
Has anyone come up against this issue and do you have any solutions that we
may employ (i.e. anti-glare film, some kind of coating, a shade cloth). The
customer is more than happy to lose efficiency instead of losing the entire
installation.
Thanks-

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! - William McDonough
