Below are some of the most-asked questions we receive from our customers when we are pigeon proofing their solar panels.
Please get in touch if you have a question that isn't answered here.
Yes, without a doubt! Just one panel being affected by pigeons will cause your whole system to run inefficiently.
The list is endless! Here are just a few:
Physical Damage to the Panels and Wiring
Decreased Efficiency
Increased Maintenance Costs
Airborne Diseases and Parasites
Attraction of Other Pests
Noise and Sleep Disturbance
Bird Mites in your House
We always quote on a case-by-case basis. We are competitive on price and will talk you through everything on the phone.
Things to consider are the number of panels, access to panels and whether we can carry out the work off ladders or if scaffolding is required.
We cover the whole of England, Scotland and Wales.
We do not share personal information with third parties without your consent. We have no need to!
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 are in, 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.
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. Once these have been removed, we add a professional-grade biocide to remove nasty, blood-sucking bird mites and to break down the hardened pigeon guano (droppings) under your panels. We then begin the installation of your pigeon prevention 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.
Pigeons cause untold damage to your property. Here are just a few examples:
Blocked gutters and drainpipes
Roof damage
Mites and other nasties in your house
Water damage due to build-up of nesting material
Corrosive guano (droppings) all over your property
Exterior facade damage
They attract other pests
Decreased property value
Out 10 year guarantee covers the pigeon prevention system, thus we guarantee that pigeons will not be able to return and nest under your solar panels for the next 10 years. All your warranty information is on your invoice.
No the pigeon prevention system will not harm the pigeons. Think of it as a floor to ceiling fence that they can't get under, over or around to get back to nesting under your panels.
We ensure that where possible, all birds are removed humanely and transferred to local sanctuaries.
This depends on the size of your array, but we tend to schedule a few hours for your installation.
Yes! We have over 30 years of solar technology experience.
Yes, but please be careful! Solar arrays can be fragile technology so we always recommend utilising an expert company like All About Solar to professionally clean the panels. We strongly advise that panels are cleaned at least every 12 months.
No! We always use our upgraded black, coated mesh (less obvious than galvanised mesh that reflects sunlight and does not blend into your roof) and our patented 'Solar Clip' to attach the mesh to your panels without drilling.
Again, there are loads of health risks with pigeons nesting under your solar panels. Here are just some:
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that can be transmitted through the inhalation of spores found in pigeon droppings. Symptoms include:
Fever
Cough
Fatigue
Chest pain
Prevention includes regular cleaning of areas where pigeons nest and proper protective equipment during cleaning.
Also known as parrot fever, Psittacosis is a bacterial infection that can be spread through the droppings or respiratory secretions of infected pigeons. Symptoms may include:
Fever
Chills
Headache
Muscle aches
Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial, as the disease can be severe if left untreated.
Pigeon droppings can also be a source of Salmonella, a bacterial infection that affects the intestinal tract. Symptoms include:
Diarrhea
Fever
Abdominal cramps
Maintaining proper hygiene and preventing pigeons from nesting near food sources are essential preventive measures.
This fungal disease is associated with pigeon droppings and can lead to a severe form of meningitis, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include:
Headaches
Fever
Nausea
Confusion
Regular cleaning and proper disposal of pigeon droppings are essential for prevention.
Pigeon feathers, droppings, and nesting materials can also trigger allergic reactions, leading to symptoms like:
Sneezing
Watery eyes
Skin rashes
Our pigeon prevention system is guaranteed for 10 years so you have peace of mind for a considerable amount of time!
We respond to all enquiries within one working day! We understand how much impact having pigeons nesting under your solar panels has on your daily life.
We work with both residential and commercial customers as well as investor systems.
Unlike other contractors, we use a continuous 30-metre length of mesh, ensuring there are no joins and hence no weak spots where pigeons can compromise our work.
