Ok I don't want to post to much Green news but when mother natures trees block your power lookout. As the saying goes in the wind world it can apply to solar as well, TREES GROW.:)

Remember the old saying "good fences make for good neighbours"? We who have RE systems might also say "good distances make for good neighbours."

Mine are both/all at least 500 feet away from the wind turbine, and out of sight of the house. Although i can hear the west neighbour's riding lawnmower run for 3 hours while cutting their couple of acres. (louder, more noticable than my 10kw diesel genset!) But good nieghbours!!
