Glare will always be a problem but for what I'm thinking of less of an issue. Remember, I'm living off stores, batteries etc. then when it quitens down a PV area in a back garden has few points it can be viewed from. Top of a hill may be an issue but in a clearing in the woods. Nope.

Clearing in the woods, good idea it is what I do/did with my little mobile solar rig, of course we would have to worry about air, but then again shtf does not mean the government/army are coming after us, more of a survive the scavengers, most of them won't have a helicopter.

Exactly and remember in a town there will be plenty of glare, greenhouses, windows, cars, PV panels for houses. it is glare where none is expected that is the issue.

A wind turbine should be 10m above the tallest (other) object for 100m in all directions to get good laminar air flow.
Given that the human eye is drawn to movement and even the quietest turbine makes some noise (something there will be a lot less of after an event), I think wind will be much more noticeable than solar. Glare off solar will be a concern but if you're that worried hang a lot of bottles off trees for miles around your BOL. People will get fed up hunting down the shiny object just to discover a bottle hanging in a tree.
