Bird mesh

Keeping birds away from your property, commercial building or your solar panels is a wise move. We recommend only using a 3mm diameter mesh, stainless steel attachments and high grade fixings.

You can complete your energy requirements and sell back electricity to the grid when you have efficient solar panels. Bird droppings and bird nesting issues will drastically drop the performance of your solar panels. Droppings cut back the ability of the panels to collect light 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, the energy conversion rate of that particular cell will become zero. Pigeon proofing solar panels is extremely important to improve their efficiency and productivity in the long run.

Reputed solar entities in the United Kingdom use highly effective methods to improve the productivity of these panels. It will also prevent unnecessary damages to these panels.
