Frequently Asked Questions – Solar Pigeon Proofing Services

Below are some of the most common questions we are asked about solar pigeon proofing and our services. If you need any further information, please feel free to contact us.

1. How long will solar pigeon proofing mesh last?

Our solar pigeon proofing mesh is made from high-quality galvanised steel and is built to last. All materials and workmanship come with a 5-year warranty for your peace of mind. However, with proper installation and normal conditions, we fully expect the mesh to last 10 years or more, providing long-term protection for your solar panels.

2. What problems do pigeons cause under solar panels?

Pigeons nesting under solar panels can cause several issues. They create constant noise from nesting and movement, which can be very disruptive. Their droppings can block gutters and drainage, leading to water overflow and potential damage. Pigeon faeces can also pose health risks and cause staining and corrosion to roofs, panels, and surrounding areas.

3. Will pigeon proofing affect my solar panel performance?

No, our pigeon proofing system is designed to protect your solar panels without affecting their performance. The mesh allows full airflow and water drainage, helping to keep panels clean and operating at maximum efficiency while preventing birds from gaining access underneath.

4. How is the pigeon mesh installed, and does it damage the panels?

Our steel mesh guards are securely attached to the solar panels using specialist reusable clips. This means there is no drilling, no damage to the panels, and no impact on manufacturer warranties. If future maintenance is required, the clips can be removed and reused safely.

5. Is pigeon proofing a permanent solution?

Once installed correctly, pigeon proofing provides a long-term solution to prevent birds from nesting under solar panels. While no system can stop pigeons landing on roofs entirely, our mesh prevents access to the nesting area, stopping ongoing problems and repeat infestations.
