Solar panels create suitable habitation areas for pigeons to access for both roosting and nesting. If left uncontrolled waste and nesting materials can quickly build up leading to a range of issues including water leaks and insect infestations and for this reason steps should always be undertaken to prevent pigeon ingress. Excluding pigeons from this area is generally straightforward and often can be undertaken quickly and with minimal DIY skills; the simple installation of a physical barrier will quickly prevent pigeon entry.
The principle solution is the installation of mesh around the edges; the mesh can be installed using specialist solar clips that hook to the underside of the panel and prevents the user from having to drill into the solar panel frame which is best avoided as this can void any manufacturer's warranty. We offer kits that include all items needed for a typical installation or alternatively the main components can be found below.
An alternative to solar mesh is the installation of spikes that can be installed with ease on the aluminium frame around the outer edge of the system. The use of a strong flexible adhesive is highly recommended due to temperature fluctuations.
When working at height we always recommend that installers carry out a risk assessment and take the necessary precautions.
