Hi toolman1,
A layer of plastic may not be optically "clear". If you want tempered glass panels there are many brands available, that have higher output per square foot than the unisolar.
My unisolars show no signs of scratching. (touch wood {oops that's my head})

Although they are shade tolerant I would NOT put anything over them and especially not chicken wire that would cause minor shading to the entire panel.
I know that there are many posts/replys, since this was posted, (I have no internet service @ work) :(
My concern would be the chicken wire scratching the PV surface and ruining the panel(s). Wouldn't a plexiglass sheet or suitable substitute work better?
