The high cost of clean energy is making it a growing target for theives.
This small municipal solar farm, opened in August 2012, was open less than a week when panels started to be stolen.

The installation location is kind of sketchy.
These panels are so close to the highway that the theft of 25 of the 300 pound panels was easy. They backed a truck up to it in the middle of the night.
Being that close to the highway I can guarantee that spray from road salt melt will be a problem this winter. Possibly the dumbest move is they are installed less than 20 feet from the tree line of a forest of 60 foot pine trees which shades them part of the day.
Another note of stupidity on this project is that after the stolen panels were replaced a temporary sign advertising the manufacturer was suspended between 2 poles next to the highway and in front of the project.
It shades the western end of the panels, closest to the camera, after 2 pm.
