Does anyone know what the plastic rods on top of the solar panels are for? My guess is that their purpose is to keep birds from perching there.
Gitmo has windmills too...

A Roof is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Compact Fluorescent Bulb Tip:
Fixtures that trap heat inside, like this one, shorten CFL bulb life.
A Simple Solution
Rotating the fixture 180 degrees helps to keep the CFL electronics cooler. It's been more than 12 months since I've rotated this fixture, and I've had no burn-outs.

Seepage from an abandon coal mine caused the "dead zone" you see behind me. Cleaning it up is just one of the costs of burning coal to produce electricity. Clean Coal is an Oxymoron!

Sorry for my bad english. Thank you so much for your good post. Your post helped me in my college assignment, If you can provide me more details please email me.
Were they hollow rods If so then my guess were they were part of a weather monitoring system tied into the solar array. We have some in the field that measure precipitation, temp, solar irradiance, wind speed and the like tied into the monitoring system.
Hmm, I know this is a bit of a delayed post, but I think I'm going to have to copy that GITMO PV idea to stop the birds perching on some of my panels near a feeder!

Good post and a good idea.
