A good start.

Married to one and both siblings are lawyers
I have heard pretty much all of them

I heard that one as a rat, not a dog.

Any idea what sized of the stainless steel wire mesh they are using over the solar panels?

Is it something like this - I am afraid a 4x4 mesh will not let enough light to get through....

I was looking into installing myself - anyone do that?

Fortunately wire is not going to cast a large enough shadow to fully block any one cell, so the problem to watch out for is just the proportional area unshaded versus total area.
I doubt that 4" mesh is going to be worse than about 95% open. Putting transparent shatterproof plastic would cost a lot more and might only transmit 90% or less of the incoming light.

Both methods will have worse shading as the sun comes in at a more and more oblique angle to the panels. But those will not be high production times in the first place.

I could not see anywhere that discussed putting wire mesh over the front of the panels anyway.

If cattle are a problem, nothing attached to the panels themselves is going to do any good (unless electrified), so plan on a sturdy fence far enough from the edges of the array.
