Pigeons nesting underneath solar panels can pose a challenging problem due to their inconspicuous presence. Being small in size and blending with their surroundings, they often go unnoticed. Their ability to effortlessly maneuver beneath the solar panels adds to the difficulty of detection.
Homeowners share a special connection with their homes, and at Sydney Pest Crew, we recognise this bond. None of us wants to witness our property being compromised by pigeons nesting under solar panels, which is why it becomes essential to seek professional Sydney Solar Panel Bird Proofing services to address this issue effectively.
Bird proofing solar panels is crucial, especially as many Australian homeowners and businesses have recently installed solar panels on their roofs. However, birds can negatively impact this investment.
Wed designed our kit to prevent pest birds such as pigeons, Indian Minor birds, and starlings from accessing the area beneath solar arrays, preventing nesting and the resulting mess, damage, and costly repairs. It aims to protect wiring systems, solar panels, and roofs. It's important to avoid damaging or drilling into the solar panels during installation.
At Sydney Pest Crew, we provide you with a safe, reliable solution that offers peace of mind. Our bird proofing system ensures the longevity of your solar investment and safeguards your home (and health) from nesting birds and the damage and diseases that come along with them, mitigating any potential risks.
We designed our kit to protect solar panels from birds. It has shown to significantly decrease the occurrence of birds nesting under and around the panels, resulting in substantial savings on maintenance and repairs.
How can you determine if you need to enlist a specialist for bird-proofing your solar panels? The following indicators can help identify bird activity under your panels.
These kits include a 30-meter roll of galvanized UV PVC coated mesh that attaches to the outer edge of the solar panels using specially designed fasteners. These fasteners clip onto the underside of the panel framework, eliminating the need to drill into the panels, which could void the warranty.
Once the mesh kit is installed, it effectively blocks the entryway to the narrow space, preventing rodents, possums, and birds from causing damage and reducing cleaning and maintenance costs while maintaining the panels' efficiency and performance.
Yes, birds can damage your solar panels. Bird droppings, known for their corrosive nature, have the ability to erode the wiring and surface of your solar panels. Additionally, birds may cause scratches on the panel's surface, which can diminish its efficiency in generating electricity.
Birds are naturally drawn to seek shelter and protection from the elements, making the space underneath your solar panels an ideal spot for them to build their nests. However, this situation presents a challenge as birds tend to leave behind a considerable amount of droppings and nesting materials in that area.
