Why Birds Love Solar Panels – And Why It’s a Problem

Nesting Risks to Your Home and Solar Efficiency

To birds like pigeons, the space beneath your solar panels looks like the perfect place to nest—it's dry, warm, and safe from predators. Unfortunately, what’s a convenient shelter for them can quickly become a frustrating and costly issue for you.

Nesting materials and droppings can clog drainage systems, corrode wiring, and lead to water pooling on your roof. Over time, this can reduce the efficiency of your panels and cause roof damage that leads to expensive repairs. In high-risk areas like St Helens where urban bird populations are dense, proactive bird proofing has become more than just an option—it’s a necessary step in protecting your investment.

How Our Bird Proofing Service Protects Your Solar Panels

Simple, Non-Invasive, and Effective Installation

Our bird proofing solutions are designed to keep birds out without damaging your solar panels or your roof. We use specially designed mesh barriers that fit snugly around your panels, preventing birds from gaining access underneath. These mesh systems are secured using UV-resistant clips, eliminating the need for drilling or adhesives that could void warranties.

The installation process is quick and tidy. Our team will assess your setup, prepare the area, and attach the barrier system efficiently. They are usually finished within a single visit. Every material we use is selected for its durability and weather resistance, ensuring a long-lasting solution that won’t compromise the aesthetics of your roof or the efficiency of your panels.
