Why Businesses Need Bird Proofing
Protecting Energy Output
Pigeon droppings and nesting debris block sunlight, drastically reducing energy production. For commercial solar arrays, even small efficiency losses can add up to significant financial losses.
Preventing Structural Damage
Bird nests trap moisture, corrode mounting equipment, and block drainage systems. Over time, this causes leaks, roofline deterioration, and costly repairs.
Safeguarding Electrical Systems
Birds often chew wires or dislodge connections, creating system faults or shutdowns. Damaged wiring also increases the risk of electrical fires.
Preserving Your Reputation
For businesses, a pigeon infestation is more than a maintenance issue — it’s a public image problem. Customers and clients may see unsightly droppings or hear constant pigeon noise, damaging your company’s reputation.
Challenges of Commercial Solar Panel Bird Proofing
Commercial properties require a different approach than residential homes.
Larger Systems
Commercial solar arrays are often much larger, requiring more mesh, fittings, and labour.
Complex Roof Structures
Warehouses, factories, and retail units may have flat or multi-tiered roofs, which require custom proofing designs.
Higher Bird Pressure
Commercial sites attract more pigeons due to their size, shelter opportunities, and proximity to food sources like bins or delivery areas.
Safety Requirements
Working at height on large commercial properties requires strict adherence to health and safety regulations, advanced access equipment, and experienced teams.

Pigeon Proofing your Solar Panels
A service we are always in demand for...
Solar panels attract birds because its a warm, sheltered and a safe area to roost and to raise their young. This creates an ideal habitat for the birds and for the mites and fleas that live in and around their nests. Birds living under the solar panels can interfere/discount the wiring of the solar array and their acidic droppings can damage the connections to the panels. Also, heavy staining from their waste can effect the amount of energy the panels generate.
Birds nest under the solar panels between the panels and the roof.

Protect your Solar Panels from bird nesting/pigeons under solar panels
FAQs
First of all, you can use a bird mesh that will prevent pigeons from nesting under your panels. Pigeons love to eat, so you need to remove their food sources. The excrement they leave behind can be hazardous and may even cause damage to your solar panels. Pigeons will not return if you cover the panels with mesh. Once the pigeons have left, you can apply bird repellent to the area.
Alternatively, you can use a pigeon deflector to protect your solar panels. This type of netting can be placed in different areas of the roof, including those that don’t have solar panels. This method works well, and it will keep pigeons away for a long time, though you may need to replace it every few months. Another option is to install weatherproof string around your solar panels.
You can also use bird mesh to prevent pigeons under solar panels issues. Bird mesh is a humane deterrents, and are very attractive to the eye. The mesh is designed to cover the space underneath solar panels. The mesh needs to be clipped to surfaces and run around the edge, but they are highly effective and can prevent pigeons from nesting.
The cost of pigeon-proofing solar panels is determined by a number of factors, including the size of the solar panels, their location, and safe access. This is particularly important for properties with three storeys or glass conservatories, as birds are prone to nesting in hard to reach places. In addition to the cost of installing wire mesh, you may also need to install bird-proofing spikes or additional scaffolding to prevent the birds from nesting in your panels.
