My Canadian friends, where they have lots of them installed, indicate they
rotate them in and out of the system, for various reasons, including routine
maintenance and how much electricity is needed by the grid, and etc.

Not necessarily a bad thing to be off for the day.    That is what they 
said, anyway...

   I noted that about every 10th propeller was not spinning. And it was 
a windy day, constant out of the SW. Do these things have reliability 
problems, or are they just being installed and not working yet? Anyone 
have a clue?
