I'm going to put one on my/our shared pavilion/house near Paris. Here they are very cheap - 1W per Euro. And these Chinese things can last for 3 decades.
I have that kind of installation on my roof for about 5 years, excellent as i am living in a very sunny region, not only it produces the power the house needs but i sell back the rest to the national provider. same installation for the swimming-pool that is covered and then naturally warmed when needed

In Spain there's intense and continuous source of solar energy (thermal or photovoltaic), but the Spanish government's policy on subsidies and other regulations leads to the bankruptcy of many companies of this sector.
As people worldwide increasingly feel the heat of climate change, many are applauding the skyrocketing growth of China’s fledgling solar-cell industry. Solar power and other “green” technologies, by providing electricity from renewable energy sources like the sun and wind, create hope for a world free of coal-burning pollution and natural resource depletion. A recent Washington Post article, however, has revealed that China’s booming solar industry is not as green as one might expect. Many of the solar panels that now adorn European and American rooftops have left behind a legacy of toxic pollution in Chinese villages and farmlands

I'am afraid the Chinese have a lot to do with toxic pollution inside their country. But this toxicity is connected with their general production in many sectors...
imagine it wasn't some poor bird on a flight half way across the world but a chicken or a duck, lamb, fish.....
We can grill, fry or for the more adventurous go raw like sushi. Maybe going solar could be the next nouvelle cuisine type thingy..
They are gonna put some ultrasound producing devices to scare the birds away and with that the problem will be solved. Such solar to thermal to electricity power stations are much more efficient than PV. Only think of Sahara - no need of any other kind of power station but like that!
