A quasi food chain is being established around the solar plant with predators eating birds and bats that burn up in the plant s solar rays chasing after insects which are attracted to the bright.
Birds burn over solar panels.
This results in birds colliding with the surface of the panels.
Well it s mainly due to the plant s overall design and location.
Some solar developers have been powering down bright lights that had attracted insects at night or switching to leds and using.
Bird barrier offers a solar panel protection kit to prevent birds from getting under the panels.
Bird problems and solutions.
So why is this happening.
The sight of a bird being fried to death is so common at the ivanpah solar plant in california s mojave desert that workers have nicknamed the smouldering birds streamers because they leave tiny wisps of white smoke behind as they burn up in the sky.
Resident birds such as nighthawks and migrant species including yellow warblers have been feasting on caterpillars grasshoppers dragonflies beetles bees and wasps though far more bugs get.
The problem of bird deaths at solar power farms is a complex one.
