Solar panel pigeon proofing is the only way to stop pigeons finding a home under your solar panels. It's an issue faced by many homeowners across the country. The sheltered space beneath solar panels presents an appealing nesting site, making it a common attraction for pigeons and other nuisance birds.
The droppings, feathers and debris left behind by these birds are not only unsanitary but also potentially damaging to the panels' surface and internal components. This can lead to reduced solar panel efficiency. Furthermore, the constant cooing and noise can become a significant disturbance, even affecting your quality of sleep.
At All About Solar, we specialise in offering targeted solutions to keep these avian intruders at bay. Our solar panel pigeon proofing service includes installing mesh barriers specifically designed to prevent birds from nesting under your solar panels.
Investing in our protective barriers ensures the integrity and performance of your solar panel system, guaranteed for 10 years.
With our help, you can enjoy uninterrupted peace of mind, knowing your investment is safe from the perils posed by pigeons and the additional problems that they bring such as parasites, disease, potential fire risks, blocked gutters and structural damage.
All About: Issues Caused byPigeons Under your Solar Panels
Pigeons pose a range of significant health hazards to humans and pets, particularly when they nest in close proximity to us. They also cause a variety of issues that can impact both the performance of solar panels and potentially shorten their lifespan.
All About: Disease Transmission
Pigeons can carry and spread diseases such as Cryptococcosis and Psittacosis. These can be transmitted to humans through contact with pigeon droppings (which can spread E. Coli), feather dust or via airborne particles.
All About: Ectoparasites
Pigeons carry various ectoparasites, including mites, fleas, ticks & lice. These can bite humans and cause irritation, but they can transmit other diseases. For example, pigeon mites are known carriers of various bacterial and viral diseases.
All About: Constant Noise
This can cause a significant amount of stress and frustration. It can cause you to lose sleep and peace of mind as well as forever cleaning the pavements below your roof from dirt and droppings.
All About: Potential Fire Risk
Although rare, there is a potential fire risk associated with birds nesting under solar panels. Nesting materials can be flammable, and any damage to wiring could potentially cause a spark.
All About: Corrosion of Panels
Bird droppings, can corrode the material of the solar panels and their mountings, potentially causing premature wear and tear and reducing the overall efficiency & lifespan of the panels.
Don't Let Pigeons Rule Your Roof! Call us on 0330 122 6167
We remove all the hassle from you. All we ask is you supply us with images of all sides of your roof where you have solar panels. This allows to plan your installation using these image and Google Earth.
You don't even need to be in on the day of installation.
Step 1
Thorough Site Review
Before out engineers arrive on site, your panels are evaluated via our office so we can provide you you with a firm date and estimated time of installation and create an efficient plan that ensures our engineers complete your installation in the best possible way.
Step 2
Day of Installation
We will keep in touch with you on the day to provide you with a specific time of installation. Again, you do not need to be in on the day of installation.
No worries if you want to be though, we are partial to a warm drink!
Each engineer holds expertise in the field of specialised control of feral pigeon pests, safety practices for working at elevated heights and the operation of access equipment.
Step 3
Upon our Arrival
Our engineers double check all the evaluation notes provided by the site review. Access equipment is erected (this will be either ladders or scaffolding - you will be made aware which we will use when we provide you with your quote for installation).
All pigeons are removed along with as practically possible, all nests and nesting materials.
Unlike other providers, we DO NOT use biocide. Why? Using biocide is an cowboy practice. It sounds good to the customer, but it can corrode the plastics connectors on your solar panels and is completely ineffective when sprayed on unless your roof is 100% clean of ALL residue.
We then begin the install of your solar panel pigeon proofing system - this includes our black, coated mesh (less obvious than galvanised mesh that reflects sunlight and does not blend into your roof) and our patented 'Solar Clip'.
Our 'Solar Clip' ensures we NEVER* have to drill into your solar panel system, thus compromising its integrity, efficiency and warranty.
Result
A pigeon free home
Your solar investment is safe and secure from pigeons for 10 years, GUARANTEED. You feel relieved, secure, safe, economically smart and free from the noise and hazards pigeons bring with them.
* Certain, older solar panels will not facilitate a clip of any kind. This is very rare however and we will inform you on the day if your panels are of this older version. Some of our investor clients insist we use a screw method on their panels.

What does your solar panel pigeon proofing service include?
Our three-step proven method (we've installed over 10,000 pigeon-proofing systems) is backed by a ten-year warranty. The first step of the process is to remove the pigeons and clear away as much nesting material as possible, without removing the solar panels.
Remember that pigeon guano (droppings) can solidify around wires, so if the pigeon problem has been there for some time, the area underneath won't be spotless. At no point are the panels removed from the bars during this service.
Once this has been completed, we then fit the 10 year guaranteed pigeon proofing along the perimeter of your solar panels. We use black, coated mesh which is securely fitted to your panels with our own, patented 'Solar Clip', ensuring we don't have to drill into your panels.*
The pigeon prevention system is guaranteed for 10 years.
*Certain, older solar panels will not facilitate a clip of any kind. This is very rare however and we will inform you on the day if your panels are of this older version. Some of our investor clients insist we use a screw method on their panels.
Why are pigeons attracted to solar panels?
Why do humans like 5 Star Hotels?
Solar panels are like 5 star hotels to pigeons. The gap between your roof and panels is the perfect size to provide pigeons with a secure environment, completely safe from all predators. Solar panels keep the pigeons warm and dry - it's the absolute best place for them to live rent free!
Will pigeons nesting under my panels attract more pigeons?
Most definitely! Once one set of pigeons begin to nest under your solar panels, it will only attract more and more of them looking for a safe, secure, warm and dry place to invade.
As you will see, the pigeons like to perch on your rooftop. Other pigeons for miles around will see this and be curious as to what's going on.
Can pigeons damage solar panels?
Again, yes - and the damage can be catastrophic. It's a matter of when the pigeons damage your solar panels, not if the pigeons damage your solar panels. The massive amounts of debris they collect under the panels causes ventilation issues (the panels need ventilation, that's why the gap is there between the panel and your roof).
Pigeons can cause the cables to rot and and pigeon guano (droppings) on your panels can cause them to lose up to 90% of their efficiency and the highly acidic nature of the guano will most definitely result in corrosion and structural damage to the solar panels.
Pigeons will leave masses of nesting materials under there, compromising on the wiring systems of your panels and creating issues around pooling water causing leaks into your roof.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes, for 10 years! Our solar panel pigeon proofing ensures that it will be impossible for pigeons to return and nest under your panels. You can be safe in the knowledge that your solar investment is protected for the long-term.
