If these massive solar panel fields are setting birds on fire, that gives you an idea of how much radiative heat energy is bouncing off of these things and rising up into the atmosphere.
A bit on the ironic side when the whole point of solar power is to save the world from manmade global warming.

Watch the video Wrathofall linked, it's directing the rays to a boiler system. I thought it was absorbing some, then reflecting the rest back up, too, until I watched it.

Wait, what ?!
They're "directing" the intensive light rays ??
Holy crap.... can you say "death ray" ?!

Seems to me what someone needs to focus on if this is going to stay in use is perhaps an auditory deterrent system surrounding the area. I can see having low numbers be an ongoing thing, kind of like animals hit on roadways are, but if it's drastically high numbers of birds frying, they do need something effective to deter the birds.
