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.

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

It is possible the complainant may be exaggerating or even fabricating the
claims of glare. Before I did anything, I would perform a study to
determine if the angles of incidence really support the complaint. This
involves some trigonometry and possibly CAD work. I would be happy
Sequoya/William,
Is the neighbour/neighbourhood simply complaining to the system owner, or
are they formally complaining to the city/town?
I would suggest that it should be up to the complainant to perform the study
that proves that glare is an issue. Would this not be the case? I guess

Shade cloth applied to the outside of the window frame on select windows
where the glare is objectionable not only reduces the solar intensity
but also reduces the heat load significantly better than any interior
shade or curtain. The exterior shades (which cam be attached by snaps)
