Solar Panel Exclusion

Solar panels have experienced a rise in popularity in the UK over the past few years. As of early 2024, there were approximately 1.4 million solar panel installations across the country. Unfortunately, this popular energy source option provides the perfect shelter for feral pigeons to nest and cause a general nuisance.

EnviroGuard’s solar panel bird proofing products have been developed to deny birds entry and are a non-intrusive solution that does not involve piercing or damaging the solar panels with mechanical fixings, hence avoiding warranty issues.

Reduce the Presence of Birds With Effective Solar Panel Bird Proofing

The presence of birds, particularly feral pigeons, around solar panels can lead to a host of issues. To effectively mitigate these problems, implementing robust solar panel bird mesh or bird spike methods will prevent infestation.

Birds can cause:

  • Nesting – Causing blockages, damage to wiring, and potential fire hazards.
  • Damage to Panels – Cause physical damage to the surface or protective coatings due to the acidic nature of bird droppings.
  • Droppings – Bird droppings can cause corrosion and damage the panel due to their acidity.
  • Noise – Birds can be noisy when nested or gathered on solar panels causing a nuisance.
  • Potential Health Risks – Bird droppings contain bacteria, fungi, and parasites that may pose health risks to humans if not properly managed.
  • Reduced Efficiency – Accumulated debris from nesting materials or droppings can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by blocking sunlight and affecting performance.
  • Aesthetic Issues – Bird droppings and nests can detract from the appearance of solar panel installations, in both residential and commercial settings.
  • Legal and Compliance Issues – In some areas, local regulations may require measures to prevent bird-related damage or ensure wildlife protection, adding compliance issues for solar panel owners and operators.
