Effective Ways to Keep Birds Away from Solar Panels

Solar Panel Bird Use Prevention: All about bird protection for your solar panels Birds like to build nests under or around solar panels, which can lead to dirt buildup, shading problems and even damage to wiring. This not only lowers energy output, but raises maintenance costs. Birds adversely affecting your system can be avoided easily and therefore, save you money.

Here Are the Reasons Birds Choose Solar Panels to Nest

“Solar panels offer birds a shelter that is cozy and safe, so it’s a place where they’re tempted to nest. The distance between the roof and the roof-mounted panels provides a perfect place for birds to roost. Over time bird droppings and debris can build up and have an impact on performance and fire safety.

Best Methods to Keep Birds Away

So here are some effective ways to prevent birds from your solar panels:

Install Bird Mesh

One of the most effective methods to prevent bird nesting under solar panels is bird mesh. It provides a barrier against access while not blocking airflow or panel performance.

Use Deterrents

Visual and sound deterrents, like reflective tape, fake predators, or ultrasonic devices, can frighten birds away. These approaches are most effective when used in conjunction with other preventive strategies.

Apply Bird Spikes

Bird spikes — installed along the edges of solar panels — prevent birds from perching. This inhibits droppings and nesting without killing the birds.

Keep the Area Clean

By regularly cleaning the roof and preventing birds from feeding on street food, seeds or insects, you can make the environment less appealing for the feathered friends!
