Solar Panel Bird Proofing - Stop Pigeons Nesting Under Panels

Solar panels can provide the perfect harbourage for pest birds, especially pigeons. This can cause untold damage to the panels incurring in high costs for you.

DB Bird Deterrents are the specialists when it comes to solar panel proofing, with a multitude of working at height tools and equipment, we can ensure safe and time/cost effective treatments for our clients.

We use a very solid galvanised steel mesh which is far superior to roll mesh. The mesh comes in sheets, not rolls, with a thick gauge of wire that requires industrial cutters to cut it to size. As such it enables our technicians to shape the mesh not just to your panel configuration, but also to the rides of your roof tiles if they deem it necessary to stop birds getting back under solar panels.


Highly Skilled Solar Panel Proofing

Our expert technicians will remove all nesting materials and bird guano from under the panels, they will then treatment accessible areas with a biocide spray to kill off any harmful bacteria or pathogens lurking amongst nesting areas, all the while ensuring no damage is caused to the panels.

No damage to the panels and their warranty is the most important thing, therefore we will only use specialist panel wire clips for our proofing works. This is instead of drilling/gluing/cable tying to attach wire, all of these can damage the panels, will not hold for years to come & drilling will make the warranty of the panels invalid.

Although the clips take a more expert level of work to fit and it can be a slower process to fit them, we will always ensure the correct treatment is undertaken for your property. All of our solar panel work comes with a lifetime guarantee.

We have solar panel proofing teams available throughout the UK including London, Kent, Essex, Brighton Cambridge, Luton, Oxford, Leicester, Watford, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

Signs Pigeons Are Nesting Under Your Solar Panels

How our solar panel proofing works

We clear out any nests and droppings from under the array, then fit a strong galvanised or PVC-coated mesh around the edge of the panels. The mesh is held with clips that grip the panel frame - no drilling - so it won't affect your panel warranty or performance, and it's almost invisible from the ground.

Solar Panel Proofing FAQs

Will the mesh damage my panels?

No. The clips attach to the panel frame without drilling, and the mesh can be removed if the panels ever need servicing.

Can you remove pigeons that are already nesting?

Yes. We work within wildlife law: if there are active nests with eggs or young we will advise on timing, then clear and disinfect the area before fitting the mesh.

Do you clean the panels as well?

We can clean droppings off the roof and panels at the same visit - ask when you book your free survey.
