The link between solar facilities and bird deaths is still unclear.
Birds blinded by solar panels.
One reason is that birds see a reflection of the sky in the object and think they re flying into an unobstructed path.
Every species of bird.
This results in birds colliding with the surface of the panels.
Though damage to the solar panels is minimal officials.
This is even a problem for solar panel facilities which see up to 138 000 bird deaths per year in the us from collisions with equipment.
The bright blades and lights in turbines and solar panels actually attract birds and the insects they eat.
One leading theory suggests birds mistake the glare from solar panels for the surface of a lake and swoop in for a landing with.
According to the audubon society these birds deaths are related to large solar photovoltaic installations in the desert which to waterfowl can appear to look like bodies of water due to the reflectivity of the panels.
