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.
