Solar Panel Glare: Is it an Issue?

Solar panels generate power by absorbing light, so any light reflected is energy wasted. To avoid this waste, most solar panels have textured glass and anti-reflective coating that reduces glare. Most solar panels today have less potential for glare than windows from vehicles or residential and commercial buildings.
