After having a solar array fitted in November I noticed almost immediately that pigeons were nesting underneath. There are quite a few companies that fit bird skirts. I came across Pigeon Solar Panels Ltd who specialise in bird skirting. Their website was the easiest to follow and had exactly what I was looking for. After speaking with Marcella who was very knowledgeable on the whole subject, the price was set and that’s what I paid. No hidden extra payments. The chaps that fitted the skirt were very chatty and you could tell they were genuinely interested in what they did. Skirt fitted Gutters cleared Panels cleaned Waste removed And all guaranteed I paid far less than some of the quotes I had and what an awesome job they did. The only downside was their popularity as I had to wait a month as they were so busy.

Outstanding service from initial enquiry through to on-site completion of the job. Advised and shown exactly what work was required with extensive photos before and after, went above and beyond by fixing a broken tile and trying to address some shoddy and poorly fitted guttering. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company and their excellent service.

We received an excellent service from beginning to end. Marcella provided us with all the information we needed prior to booking the "better than new" package and on the day Callum and Harry told us exactly how the job would proceed covering everything from Health & Saftey through to the photographs we would receive at the end. And the best thing was that the solar panels ended up looking better than new, so we got what we paid for. Thank you from a very happy customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do solar panels need bird proofing?

Yes, solar panels often require bird proofing to prevent birds, especially pigeons, from nesting underneath them. Birds are attracted to the shelter provided by solar panels, which can lead to nests, droppings, and debris accumulating under the panels.

This not only affects the efficiency of your solar panels by blocking sunlight but can also lead to long-term damage. Bird droppings are corrosive, and nests can obstruct drainage, causing water damage. Proper bird proofing is essential to maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your solar panels.

How much does bird proofing solar panels cost?

The cost of bird proofing your solar panels can vary depending on the size of your installation and the specific measures needed. Typically, you can expect to pay between £600 and £800 for professional bird proofing services. This cost covers the installation of bird mesh and other deterrents that will keep pigeons and other birds from nesting under your panels. It’s a worthwhile investment to protect your solar panels and avoid the costly repairs that can arise from bird-related damage.

How do I keep birds from going under my solar panels?

To prevent birds from going under your solar panels, the most effective solution is to install a bird mesh around the perimeter of the panels. This mesh acts as a barrier, stopping birds from accessing the space underneath.

The mesh is specifically designed to be non-intrusive, so it won’t affect the efficiency of your panels or the overall look of your roof. Additionally, other deterrents such as bird spikes can be used in conjunction with the mesh to further discourage birds from perching or nesting near your panels.

What is the problem with solar panels and birds?

Birds, particularly pigeons, can cause significant problems when they nest under solar panels. The primary issues include the accumulation of nests and droppings, which can block airflow and reduce the efficiency of the panels. Moreover, bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode the surface of the panels, leading to potential damage over time. In some cases, the nests can also cause drainage problems, resulting in water damage to your roof. Bird proofing helps to prevent these issues, ensuring your solar panels function efficiently and last longer.

How do I get rid of pigeons around my solar panels?

If pigeons have already started nesting under your solar panels, the best approach is to contact a professional bird proofing service like us.

They will safely remove any nests and install deterrents like bird mesh or spikes to prevent the pigeons from returning. Bird mesh is particularly effective as it blocks access to the area under the panels, while spikes can be placed on the edges of the roof to discourage birds from perching.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the panels are also recommended to keep them free from bird-related debris.
