We had, and still have a number of links in and through wind farms. It never really caused us huge issues but we had a lot of fade margin. I think the best bet is identify with them early and they will work with you on placement to try and avoid direct path problems. They won't let you anywhere near their turbines if they aren't using the equipment and their fiber is also off limits. We have put in a number of PTP links to use for radio systems we put in for the windfarms and they won't even use them for stuff they own that isn't directly related to generating power.
The planning starts early so I would suggest getting after it now. If you can give them a KMZ someone with the wind farm already has one or will when they place them. I would provide them with a KMZ of your paths to start and offer any help required to keep things clean.
