Bird proofing solar panels
Protecting Your Solar Investment
Solar panels are a smart and environmentally friendly investment, providing renewable energy and reducing your carbon footprint. However, as beneficial as solar panels are, they can also attract unwanted visitors: birds. Birds often seek refuge under solar panels, creating nests and causing various issues that can compromise the efficiency of your solar array. To safeguard your solar investment and ensure maximum energy production, our bird-proofing wire mesh system is the solution you need.
The bird problem for solar panels
The Bird Problem encompasses several issues when it comes to the impact of birds on solar panels. One significant concern is the potential damage to your solar panels caused by birds. These avian creatures are notorious for pecking at and scratching the protective coating on your solar panels, which can result in reduced efficiency and necessitate expensive repairs or even complete replacements.
Another aspect of the problem relates to bird droppings and nests. Bird droppings not only mar the appearance of your solar panels but can also diminish their efficiency. Additionally, bird nests, typically constructed from twigs and debris, may cast shadows on the panels, obstructing sunlight and consequently reducing the panels’ energy output. Furthermore, the presence of birds nesting under your solar panels can create unwelcome noise and disturbance, affecting the peace and quiet of your home. In some cases, this may even attract other wildlife and pests to the area, further complicating the situation.

The wire mesh system
#thinkpestcontrol strongly advocates the utilisation of a wire mesh system for safeguarding your solar panel installation. This mesh is expertly positioned along the perimeter of the panels, effectively thwarting any attempts to access the area beneath the panels. This protective measure extends its shielding effect not only to your solar panels but also to your roof and cabling.
Our wire mesh system offers versatile installation options. You can opt for a robust safeguard by securely fastening it to the panels with retaining bolts, all while preserving your product warranty intact. Alternatively, for a non-intrusive solution that doesn’t necessitate the use of drilling equipment or adhesive substances, we offer the option of attaching the mesh with specially designed clips. Notably, this mesh can be effortlessly removed if future maintenance becomes necessary, and its presence has a minimal impact on the aesthetic appeal of your solar panel setup.
The process for a wire mesh system
1. Assessment: We start by assessing your specific situation. Our experts will inspect your solar panel installation to determine the extent of the bird problem and customise the solution to fit your needs.
2. Installation: Our experienced technicians will carefully install a high-quality, galvanised wire mesh system around the perimeter of your solar panels. This mesh is designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and unobtrusive, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with the performance of your solar panels.
3. Humane Deterrence: Our wire mesh system is a humane bird-deterrent solution. It doesn’t harm the birds in any way, but it effectively prevents them from gaining access to the space beneath your solar panels.
4. Long-Term Protection: Once our wire mesh system is in place, you can enjoy long-term protection for your solar investment. Say goodbye to the damage, mess, and noise caused by birds nesting under your panels.
