Solar Panel Bird Proofing

The solar panels are also a great place for birds to rest, drink water and eat insects. Birds like this kind of environment because it provides them with shelter from predators by hiding under there.

Install bird spikes on your roof.
One way to deter pest birds from landing on solar panels is by installing bird spikes.

Birds are especially sensitive to the edges of objects, and that’s what the small metal bars along a row of solar panels do: they create an undesirable edge for them.

Solar panel bird proofing with this type of bird deterrent is a common practice in solar panel installation around the world.

 

 

Use a netting to cover the solar panels.

Another bird control possibility is to use netting or screens to cover solar panels.

Netting is an effective way for controlling pest birds because it creates an unpleasant surface that makes them feel uncomfortable around your solar panels. It also stops them from being able to enter the area beneath your solar panels.

Netting is a common bird control measure for many reasons because it works so well for different size birds like pigeons.

This kind of solution also provides long-term protection against pest birds from attempting to nest under solar panels.

Place an owl statue near your solar panels to scare away birds.
Another way to scare away birds is by placing an owl statue near your solar panels.

Owls are a natural predator of pest bird species and can be effective in scaring them off from the area surrounding your solar panel installations.

One con to this is the placement of the owl may look a little strange, as the statue will need to be placed at a height that is appropriate for what size of bird you are trying to scare away.

Cover any openings in the roof with wire mesh.
One way to secure your solar panels from pest birds is by covering any openings in the roof with wire mesh to keep the birds from entering under the solar panels.

The mesh will need to be tacked down and sealed against the roof, as once a bird has discovered an opening they can cause significant damage.

For solar panels installed on buildings with flat roofs, you can also install wire mesh screening under the solar panel frame to keep birds from nesting in this area.
