We offer a specialist service tailored to homeowners and businesses. Our non-harmful barriers keep birds out, extend the life of your solar panels, and help you avoid unnecessary repair costs. Our mission is simple—preserve your clean energy while respecting the wildlife around you.

The Hidden Cost of Unprotected Solar Panels

How Birds Compromise Energy Output and Property Safety

While solar panels are built to withstand the elements, they aren’t designed to deal with a family of nesting birds underneath them. The constant movement, noise, and nesting debris disrupt airflow beneath the panels, this can result in overheating and reduced system efficiency.

In addition, bird droppings are highly acidic and can damage your roof tiles or gutters over time. Many Solihull property owners discover the problem too late, only after a drop in solar performance or visible roof damage. Bird proofing ensures you don’t have to deal with these issues, offering long-term peace of mind.

The Right Tools for Long-Term Bird Proofing

Materials That Last, Techniques You Can Trust

Our Solihull-based service uses high-grade materials tailored for long-term performance. We use wire mesh with a small gauge that prevents even smaller birds from slipping through. The mesh is shaped and fitted specifically to your panel configuration, ensuring total coverage with no gaps.

Installation tools include panel-safe clips that fasten to the frame without scratching or affecting the surface. We take care to clean the area of any existing nesting debris, disinfect where necessary, and leave your roof in better shape than we found it. With minimal disruption to your day, you’ll be bird-free in no time.
