Solar panels attract birds quite easily due to their installation on your roof. They create a perfect space for birds to roost and nest under the solar panels. The warmth emitted all year around is another benefit to the birds. They create an ideal habitat for birds as well as other insects such as mites and lice. This will lose much of the efficiency of the panels. In fact, a lot of energy will be wasted in the process. If you need the solar panels to prevent loss of energy and waste of money in the long run, you need to bird proof these panels. Here are some important things to consider when purchasing bird proofing solar panels.

You can fulfill your energy requirements as well as sell back electricity to the grid thanks to solar panels. The efficiency of these panels is reduced to a considerable extent due to birds and their droppings. Birds usually nest within the gaps between these panels and the roof. Bird droppings will cut back the ability of the solar panels to collect sunlight which is essential to generate electricity. The panels should be in pristine condition at all times to maximize the performance of the solar panels. If the cells are half covered with bird droppings, they may lose at least 50% of their ability to generate electricity. If the whole cell is covered with droppings, it can reduce the energy conversion rate to zero Bird proofing these panels is extremely important due to this reason. It improves the productivity and efficiency of the panels.

Many solar panel manufacturers in the United Kingdom use effective techniques to bird proof their panels to improve the efficiency and productivity. It will also prevent unnecessary damages to these panels. In fact, a mesh system is installed over the solar panels to protect them. The mesh system will deter birds and all other insects from the panels. The mesh systems are usually invisible from the ground level. The mesh system is installed without drilling or screwing your roof. A special variety of clips is used to secure the mesh which will not damage the panels. The mesh will not affect the conditions of the warranty on the solar panel. This is why it is important that you consider bird proofing your solar panels to improve their efficiency and productivity in the long run.
