Why is it important to protect your Solar Panels from Birds?

Unfortunately, Pigeons and other birds are responsible for a range of issues that impact solar panels. These include:

Pigeons and other birds are noisy!

Pigeons love to communicate with each another. As a result of this, when they nest beneath your solar panels you are likely to be able to hear them throughout the day and night. This can be extremely disruptive to yourself and potentially your neighbours too. This is especially true if they end up congregating near a bedroom, in which case sleep disturbance may occur.

Pigeons are extremely messy!

Pigeons and other birds can create a lot of mess. This can be unsightly, difficult to clean and potentially hazardous to your health.

The mess from pigeons can include; fouling, feathers that they shed, food scraps and nesting materials.

Pigeons Carry Mites and Pathogens

You may be well aware that pigeons can carry diseases which can be hazardous to health. Having their faeces (nasty bird poo) all over your solar panels, roof, car, windows and door handles can be problematic.

Pigeons also carry and transport certain types of mites that can also cause issues, especially if they make their way into your home, resulting in infestations.

Many window and gutter cleaning companies are now refusing to provide their services to home owners with solar panels due to the high presence of bird mess which can be a risk to their health and damage to their equipment.

Pigeons and Other Birds Can Decrease Solar Panel Efficiency

The dirt and faeces can quickly build up and become deposited on your panels reducing the level of sun exposure they receive and therefore the amount of electricity they can generate. The presence of pigeons, as well as the mess they create, will result in a decrease in the efficiency of your solar panels and therefore a drop in power generation.

Pigeons Can Damage Solar Panels

Pigeon and bird faeces are acidic and can cause corrosion damage to the solar panel surface, as well as wires and connections. Additionally, many types of birds love to scratch and can use their beaks to gnaw through wires and other components.
