Why Solar Panel Bird Mesh Installation Is Essential
Many homeowners are surprised to discover how attractive solar panels are to pigeons. Elevated panels create sheltered, shaded spaces that offer safety from predators and warmth year-round. Unfortunately, this makes them a hotspot for nesting birds.
When pigeons move in under solar panels, the consequences can be serious:
- Noise disturbances: Constant cooing, scratching, and flapping that disrupts your home.
- Health hazards: Pigeon droppings harbour harmful bacteria and can cause respiratory issues.
- Blocked gutters and drains: Nesting debris clogs water flow, leading to internal and external water damage.
- Damaged wiring: Birds can chew through cabling, compromising your solar system.
- Efficiency loss: Fouling on the panels reduces sunlight exposure and overall energy production.
By installing durable solar panel bird mesh, you create a physical barrier that prevents pigeons and other birds from accessing the underside of your panels — eliminating these risks before they escalate.
Benefits of Solar Panel Bird Mesh Installation
Investing in solar panel bird mesh installation offers far-reaching benefits beyond simply keeping pigeons out.
Long-Term Protection for Your Panels
Unlike temporary deterrents, professionally installed bird mesh provides a lasting solution. Our mesh is weather-resistant, rust-proof, and designed to withstand the elements for years without deterioration.
Preserves Solar Panel Efficiency
Bird droppings on panels can block sunlight and significantly reduce energy output. By keeping birds away, mesh helps maintain peak efficiency and maximises the return on your solar investment.
Maintains Roofline Integrity
Nesting materials and droppings accelerate wear and tear on your roof. Mesh stops this buildup and prevents long-term structural damage.
Discreet and Non-Invasive
Our mesh systems are virtually invisible from the ground and installed without drilling into your panels or roof. This ensures your property maintains its visual appeal and your solar system remains under warranty.
Humane Bird-Proofing Solution
We use non-lethal, non-invasive methods that simply deter pigeons from nesting. Our solar panel bird mesh installation respects wildlife while protecting your home.
Our Solar Panel Bird Mesh Installation Process
At A&H Pest Control, we believe every installation should be tailored to the property. Our process ensures a secure, long-lasting fit without affecting your solar system’s performance.
1. Initial Survey and Assessment
We begin with a full property inspection, assessing panel layout, roof access, and the level of bird activity. This allows us to design a custom mesh solution for your home or business.
2. Safe and Professional Installation
Our team installs the mesh using specialist clips that attach securely to the panels without drilling or causing damage. This ensures compliance with panel warranties and preserves your investment.
3. Nest and Waste Clearance
If pigeons are already present, we carefully remove all nesting materials and droppings before installation. This decontamination process reduces health risks and prevents lingering odours.
4. Final Check and Guarantee
We double-check the installation to ensure there are no gaps or weak points. All our solar panel bird mesh installations come with a long-term guarantee for your peace of mind.
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.
