Is birds nesting under solar panels actually a problem?
Birds nesting under your solar panels can cause real damage to your property. What starts as a bit of flapping and cooing can quickly become a costly problem.
- Bird droppings are highly acidic and can corrode both your panels and your roof tiles
- Nesting material like twigs and feathers can block gutters and, in some cases, become a fire risk near electrical components
- Secondary pest infestation from beetles, mites and flies are a risk when there are birds nesting
We know this can feel like a daunting problem to tackle but the longer any bird is left to settle, the harder and more costly it becomes to sort out.
Professional bird proofing designed to last
Solar Mesh
For flat surface roof tiles, we use Solar Mesh: a galvanised wire wrapped in a black PVC coating. It's discreet, durable, and designed to sit flush around your panels without causing any damage.
Solar Guard
For corrugated roof tiles, Solar Guard is the right solution. It follows the profile of the tile to create a clean, secure seal. During your free survey, we'll assess your panels and roof and let you know exactly which product we'd recommend.
No scaffolding
Mark holds the relevant qualifications for working safely at height using ladders, which means scaffolding is often not required. That keeps the cost down and the job straightforward.
Free survey and quotation
Every job is different. The number of panels, roof type, and accessibility all affect the price, which is why we always survey first. There's no charge for this.
