FAQs about EAc2:
Can I pursue this credit if I am using one of the prescriptive compliance paths for EAp2/EAc1?
Can I really double-count onsite renewable energy in both EAc2 and EAc1?
Our PV system is being installed after the building is occupied. Is that okay?

Do proper conditions exist to integrate a few miniature wind turbines around the array or between panels?

I've never heard of this as an issue before. You could try using those spikes that line ledges to keep birds off. I'd keep the spikes at the perimeter of the solar panels. Anything you put over the panels will block more light then the birds would block.
