Why Pest proof SOLAR Panels?

Pests have learned to exploit this hard to reach space

Reclaim Peace

Pigeons are noisy, all day and all night, so you'll be able to relax and sleep better without them. Their constant disturbance tests the patience of anyone! Pigeons nest all year round and are highly social, so what starts as one or two under your solar panels can quickly turn into a full blown infestation. That's where we come in. We will remove the pests, nests and mess and prevent them from getting back in, reclaiming your peace.

Prevent damage

Pests can cause damage to the equipment under your solar panels and the acidic properties of their guano corrodes the DC wiring. Over time, this stops panels working, requiring costly repairs. We may find issues when carrying out our work, such as corroded wires or connectors. We have the knowledge to isolate your system and carry out the necessary repairs on the day, at no extra cost. We're dedicated to going the extra mile.

Protect the Birds and your home

Unfortunately, pigeons are becoming highly attracted to nesting under solar panels. The warmth and shelter is too good for them to pass up. But they don't understand the dangers! The damage they cause over time can expose live electric currents. That's dangerous for the birds, and combined with nests is a fire hazard. Birds can get tangled in the components under panels. We carefully, legally move them and their nests.

Restore Sanitation

Pigeons and other pests are filthy. Stop them using your roof, garden, car etc as their toilet and protect yourself from potential diseases carried by pigeons such as Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis. They can also cause a bird mite infestation in your home. Bird mites are very difficult and expensive to remove. Your panels should provide energy, not infection!

Increase efficiency

Solar panels are incredible and built to be outside, but do require care. Over time the damage that pigeons and pests cause will start to negatively affect the amount of energy your panels are generating. They can also cover your panels in filth, blocking sunlight. We can clean your panels as part of the service, to bring your panels back to life and maximum efficiency.

They will not leave

Pigeons are extremely persistent. Once they decide under your solar panels is where they live, you will not be able to scare them away. They will keep coming back until their nests have been removed and our pigeon proofing guards are installed, preventing them from further access. They will have no choice but to move on and find a safer home. Better to do it sooner than later.

Stop them before they multiply

If you have pests under your solar panels, it is only a matter of time before more arrive.
What starts as a small irritation can soon ruin your peace and destroy your solar panels.

How We Help With Your Pest Problem

The steps we take to protect your investment

1

Roof access

We can’t protect your solar panels without roof access. Most jobs can be completed with just the use of ladders and other safety equipment. We make sure to do this in a safe, and minimally intrusive way, so you can carry on as if we aren’t there. In rare circumstances where access to the front of your system is blocked, we may need another method of access such as a cherry picker or erecting scaffold. But prior to us turning up we will pre-emptively assess your property and what the requirements will be to complete the job with no fuss.

clearing

Once we are safely on the roof, we scare away and remove any pests, and once they have gone, we carefully begin clearing the mess away. Pigeons and other birds can build nests under your solar panels. If we find a nest, we safely remove it. This is a vital step in the process, because the build-up under solar panels is dangerous, and under the wrong conditions can cause your panels to break entirely. For example, electrical cables, exposed by pests chewing off the protective casing, can set fire to twigs and dry leaves left by pigeons for their nests. We clear it all out.

protection

This is the most important part, installing the protective barriers that stop pests from returning and keep them out for good. Most of our customers prefer our metal mesh, because it is the most aesthetically pleasing from the ground and extremely effective . However, we can provide a different protective solution in you prefer. After the solar panel proofing is complete we will show you photos of every part of the work that we’ve just carried out, so you can be assured that your panels are protected to our high standards.

10 year guarantee

For peace of mind, all our installations come with a 10-year warranty. In the unlikely even that pests get back under your panels, we will come back and fix the situation free of charge. This is basically impossible because there is no way for them to get back under the panels with our barriers in place.
