The Problem With Birds and Solar Panels

Solar panels offer an ideal nesting spot for pigeons nesting, providing shelter, warmth, and relative safety for their young. However, this seemingly harmless cohabitation can lead to several serious problems:

1. Reduced panel efficiency: Birds can damage the wiring and cause power supply interruptions, hindering your solar panels’ performance.
2. Expensive, long-term damage: Bird waste is highly corrosive and can cause permanent damage to your panels if allowed to accumulate.
3. Unsightly roof stains: Birds leaving droppings excessively can lead to unsightly stains on your roof, detracting from your property’s appearance.
4. Health hazards: Birds, mostly pigeons, carry lice and dangerous pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, which can pose serious health risks to you and your family.
5. Attraction of other pests: Bird droppings and nests can attract other pests, such as rats, mice, and cockroaches, further compounding the problem.

Our Solar Panel Bird Proofing Solutions

At Pest Controller Bristol, we offer a range of cutting-edge bird proofing solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our expert team has over two decades of experience in the pest removal industry, and we pride ourselves on providing the most cost-efficient and durable solutions for your solar panel bird-proofing requirements.

1. Solar Guards: Our Solar Guards are a highly effective way to deter birds nesting under and around your solar panels. By denying access beneath the panels, we can prevent pigeons and other birds from causing damage and creating a mess. These guards are far more cost-effective and durable than typical mesh installations used by many other pest control companies.
2. High-quality Stainless Steel Spikes: We use premium stainless steel bird spikes that are long-lasting and suitable for all weather conditions. The fully adjustable spikes are designed to fit all roof tile types, ensuring a perfect fit around your solar panels. The base is made from UV-stabilized plastic, designed to withstand prolonged exposure to the sun.
3. Galvanized Steel Mesh: Unlike many other pest control companies that use roll mesh, we use a solid galvanized steel mesh that is far superior in strength and durability. This mesh is cut to size using industrial cutters, allowing our technicians to shape it precisely to your panel configuration and roof tiles, ensuring no gaps remain for birds to exploit.

Our Bird Protection Services Include

1. Netting Installation: We provide expert netting installation to prevent birds from accessing your solar panels and the surrounding area.
2. Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels: Our team specializes in pigeon proofing techniques to keep these persistent birds away from your solar investment.
3. Bird Protection: We offer comprehensive bird protection services to safeguard your solar panels from all types of birds.
4. Mesh Installation: Our high-quality mesh installation ensures that birds cannot nest under or around your solar panels.
5. Bird Guard Installation: We install bird guards to create a physical barrier between birds and your solar panels.
6. Safe Removal Of Nests: If birds have already made nests under your solar panels, our team can safely and humanely remove them.

Why Choose Our Professional Solar Panel Pigeon Proofing?

1. 10-Year Guarantee: We stand behind our solar panel bird proofing services with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee, giving you peace of mind and protection for your investment.
2. No Scaffolding Required: Our team is equipped with a scaffolding tower and a spider lift that can fit through gaps as small as 90cm, allowing us to reach even the most challenging solar panels and roofs without the need for expensive scaffolding. This not only saves you money but also ensures that we can complete the job quickly and efficiently.
3. Humane and Legal Methods: We use only humane and legal methods to control pigeon populations, in compliance with the Wild Birds Protection Act of 1954 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. We do not remove panels from the bars, as this would invalidate your warranty with your solar panel company. Instead, our skilled technicians work diligently to remove birds and nesting materials without compromising your solar panels’ performance.
4. Professional Strength Biocide Treatment: To protect your solar panel fittings from corrosive pigeon guano and deal with potential bird mite infestations, we apply a professional strength biocide treatment to the affected areas. Bird mites are tiny, biting insects that feed on the blood of chicks in nests but can also start feeding on human blood, causing significant discomfort. Our biocide treatment helps to eliminate this risk.
5. Gutter and Solar Panel Cleaning: In addition to our bird proofing services, we also offer gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning to keep your system functioning at its best. Pigeons can produce up to 11kg of fouling per year, which can accumulate in your gutters and on your solar panels, reducing their efficiency and causing damage. Our cleaning services ensure that your solar panels and gutters remain in top condition.
