Trouble with birds getting in places they shouldn’t? We can attach bird proofing strips as an addon to our packages.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Solar panels are an incredible investment, but they require regular care to perform at their best. Over time, a buildup of dirt, algae, traffic pollution, and pest guano blocks sunlight and drastically reduces the amount of energy your panels generate. As part of our comprehensive service, we provide professional solar panel cleaning using pure, deionised water to bring your system back to life and restore maximum efficiency.
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.
We offer a range of bird proofing options to suit all needs and budgets, including Silver Steel Wire Galvanised Mesh, Black PVC Coated Mesh, Bird Blocker systems, and the premium SolaSkirt solution. Each one is designed to stop birds nesting under your solar panels while keeping your roof looking neat and tidy.
Pigeons and other birds love to nest under solar panels, which can lead to mess, damage to wiring, and reduced efficiency. Bird proofing protects your panels, extends their lifespan, and keeps your roof clean and clear of unwanted visitors.
No, all our bird proofing systems are designed to be non-invasive and visually discreet. Options like the Black PVC Mesh and SolaSkirt blend in beautifully, and none of our solutions interfere with your solar panel's airflow or output.
Most bird proofing installations are completed in just one day. We'll assess your system and provide a clear time estimate when we book you in.
