Protect Your Solar Panels from Pigeons and Nesting Birds
Solar panels are a major investment, but for pigeons, they’re the perfect place to nest. Left unchecked, bird activity under solar arrays can lead to noise, droppings, and serious long-term damage. Sky Raiders offers professional, humane bird proofing to keep your panels safe, clean, and operating efficiently, giving you clean skies and peace of mind.
Why Solar Panels Attract Birds
- Sheltered Nesting Area: Panels provide ideal cover from rain and predators.
- Warmth and Security: Birds are drawn to the microclimate beneath arrays.
- Proximity to Food: Rooftop panels near bins, gardens, or eateries attract pigeons fast.
- No Natural Deterrents: Once one pair settles in, more follow.
Risks of Unprotected Solar Panels
- Build-up of nesting material can cause hotspots and electrical faults
- Bird droppings reduce panel efficiency and damage roof tiles
- Constant noise and mess diminish property value and comfort
- Fire risk from accumulated debris near wiring and inverters
Our Bird Proofing Service
We fit discreet, durable mesh around the perimeter of each panel, blocking bird access without damaging the system. All work is carried out by trained operatives using:
- UV-resistant mesh
- Stainless steel fixings (never glued to panels)
- Roof-safe access equipment
- No harm to birds, no toxic repellents
We also remove all existing nests and droppings before installation to prevent return.
