Rooftop solar panels create an ideal environment for pigeons and other pest birds to nest and roost. These panels provide shade from the hot sun, security from predators, and an easy in-and-out vantage point for birds. What’s more, birds can be incredibly persistent, especially if they’ve nested under solar panels the previous season. Since most solar panels are usually just 8″ off the roof deck, removing nests and droppings can be a challenge.
The best way to address this problem is to install a solar panel pigeon barrier, ideally when the solar panels are first installed, or at least before the pest birds arrive.
The solar panel bird deterrents are designed to prevent pest birds from accessing the area beneath the solar arrays. Solar panel bird proofing is important because pest birds will nest under solar array, creating a huge mess, causing damage and costly repairs and cleanups. Protect the wiring system, solar panels, and your roof with a solar panel bird deterrent mesh or kit.
The solar clips do not pierce the solar panel; the system is designed to protect the integrity of the expensive solar arrays. Solar panel bird deterrents simply create a physical barrier to keep birds from accessing and nesting in the area beneath the solar arrays.
