Experts in Solar Panel Bird Protection

JR Bird Management offers dependable solar panel bird protection services for commercial and domestic clients throughout East Sussex and Kent.

Solar panels are an excellent investment for homeowners and businesses throughout the nation. More affordable than ever, solar panels offer a lasting renewable energy source while reducing your carbon footprint.

However, for all their incredible benefits, solar panels have a notable drawback – they provide the perfect nesting conditions for birds! Pigeons are the main offenders, nesting beneath panels that protect them from predators and humans.

Unfortunately, nesting pigeons cause various issues with solar panels, highlighting the importance of solar panel bird protection. We offer flexible solar panel bird protection services that keep your system safe from unwanted pests.

Do My Solar Panels Need Bird Protection?

Unless your solar panels are installed with bird proofing measures, they might need some form of bird control.

Solar panels provide the ideal nesting conditions for pigeons in the UK. Typically installed on roofs, solar panels have a large space between the roof and panels that pigeons love to nest in. The panels offer excellent protection for pigeons, keeping them safe from the weather, predators, and people.

Once they get beneath the panels, pigeons cause issues that may make the system less efficient. For example, birds may damage the wiring and cables on the panels, causing malfunctions or even breaking them entirely.

Additionally, pigeons leave droppings on the panels that make them absorb less sunlight. The droppings often prevent the panels from absorbing any UV rays, making the system far less effective.

Not only does this mean your panels generate less electricity, but you must also pay to clean the panels and fix any issues.

So, solar panel bird protection is a great way to protect your investment over the long term!

Solar Panel Bird Protection Services

JR Bird Management has a wealth of experience providing solar panel bird protection services for homes and businesses. Available throughout Kent and East Sussex, our bird solar panel bird protection solutions guarantee long-term safety for your system.

We design and install custom bird proofing around solar panels to prevent nesting from pigeons and other birds. Our team installs high-quality netting around gaps between panels and roofing, making it impossible for birds to access.

By using premium materials, we ensure that the bird proofing lasts for many years, keeping out pigeons for the long term. We may also combine netting with pigeon spikes to protect the solar panels, although bird netting usually works fine.

In any case, we also provide tailormade bird protection services based on the unique requirements of our clients.

Questions

Solar Panel Bird Protection: your questions

Common signs are cooing or scratching from the roof, nesting material or droppings around the edges of the panels, and pigeons flying in and out from underneath.

We fit bird mesh around the edges of the solar array, closing the gap between the panels and the roof so pigeons cannot get underneath to nest.

No. The mesh sits around the edges of the array, not over the panels, so it does not block the sunlight.
