Airport controllers complain of solar panels' glare

MANCHESTER - About 25 percent of a solar-panel array at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport has been temporarily shut down after air-traffic controllers started complaining about glare, an airport official said.
Officials recently draped tarps over the troublesome panels, which are part of the 2,200-panel solar field installed on top of the airport parking garage this year. It went online early this month.
The airport, the Federal Aviation Administration, contractors and a consultant are studying the glare problem, said Brian O'Neill, deputy airport manager.
Before the airport moved forward on the $3.5 million projects, its consultant assured officials there would be no problems with glare for aircraft or the air-traffic control tower, O'Neill said.
