Pigeon Proofing Your Solar Panels for Maximum Efficiency
Solar panels are an excellent investment for reducing energy bills and contributing to a greener planet—but without protection, they can quickly attract an unwanted problem: pigeons. The gap between your roof and the solar panels offers a warm, sheltered environment that birds find ideal for nesting. This not only creates noise and mess but significantly impacts your solar panel efficiency over time.
Nesting birds bring more than just droppings—they introduce mites, fleas, and other parasites that can spread across your roof. Bird droppings are highly acidic and, when left on the surface of your panels, can block sunlight and corrode key components. Studies have shown that even partial coverage of a panel by droppings can reduce its energy output by up to 50%. If an entire cell is obscured, energy conversion can stop completely. That’s why pigeon proofing solar panels is essential for maintaining optimal performance.
Beyond energy loss, bird activity can lead to long-term damage. Nesting materials clog gutters, loosen panel brackets, and pose a fire risk due to dried debris. Implementing effective solar panel bird barriers—such as mesh protection—is a proven way to avoid these problems entirely.
Mesh systems are the industry standard for pigeon proofing solar panels. These barriers are designed to block all entry points while maintaining airflow under your panels. Installed using specialised metal clips, the mesh sits securely without the need for drilling or screws—so your roof stays intact, and your solar panel warranties remain valid. Most importantly, the mesh is virtually invisible from ground level, preserving your roof’s aesthetic appeal while delivering long-term protection using metal clips and metal ties, no plastic clips or cable ties as these can degrade over time becoming brittle.
By investing in pigeon proofing solar panels, you protect your energy savings, extend the life of your system, and reduce ongoing maintenance costs. Whether your system is newly installed or already showing signs of bird activity, it’s never too late to act. Let A&H Pest Control help you keep your panels clean, clear, and producing energy at their full potential.

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.
