The other question simply being how much it would cost to take out a swathe of them - which would happen from time to time especially if the mounts are frangible. Hundreds of thousands? I would suspect they need to be quite firmly mounted to deal with strong winds.

There are apparently concerns about dazzling pilots.

Personally I would expect that solar panels "should" not dazzle, as efficient panels should be absorbing the energy rather than reflecting it, but I'm given to understand that it's a real concern.

I guess anything glossy and flat may cast a specular reflection that is likely to be very directional and may well dazzle.

Trees should be black, but aren't.

Good point. And they've had longer to get it right than we have.
