Bird proofing installation for solar panels

With two decades of experience in the pest removal industry, you can be confident that all of our installations are the most cost-efficient and effective solution for your solar panel bird-proofing requirements. Typically the most effective way to bird-proof solar panels is to install solar-guards from The Bristol Pest Controller. Our Solar Guards help deter birds from nesting under and around solar panels by denying access beneath the panels.

Our Solar-Guard installations are much more cost-effective and durable than a typical mesh installation used by many other pest control companies. For any queries regarding our solar panel bird-proofing installation services contact our professional team here today.

How birds damage solar panels

There are a number of ways in which birds and mainly pigeons can damage your solar panels. Not just on the outside, but the interior wiring too. Pigeon droppings contain high levels of acidity. This acidity in their droppings can cause wire erosion and damage the surface. They can bite the wires and pull them loose effectively cutting off the energy supply. And these noisy pests don’t only build nice comfortable nests underneath them. But they can also scratch the surface of your panels. All of these things will impact your investment.

Not only that, but the bird waste and droppings have to go somewhere and that somewhere is typically your gutters. And with blocked or clogged gutters come a whole multitude of problems. Clogged gutters can rot and weaken fascia boards. Making it easier for water to get into your home and causing wall and ceiling damage.

At Bristol Pest Control we have a wide range of methods available to us to give the best possible solar panel protection from bird nesting.
