I’ve read several reports recently that large solar panel farms are murder on insects. Apparantly the polarized light reflecting from all that glass looks to the bugs like the surface of a lake. They fly down, land on the hot panels, and get fried.
Of course all those carbonized bodies block sunlight from reaching the solar cell itself so they have to be regurally cleaned off. Increasing maintenance costs.
