Solar panels are increasingly becoming a household sight in the roofs of more UK house holders that are turning towards the use of renewable energy in their homes. Though they provide a splendid source of clean energy and lower electricity bills, solar panels may, still, unwillingly attract unwanted visitors, pigeons and other birds. That is when solar panels bird proofing becomes essential. Shire Pest and Property Care offers professional and lasting bird proofing to solar panels by preventing bird pests, which will ensure that your investment is secured and you achieve a pest free property.

The Reason Birds are Attractive to Solar Panels.

Solar panels are a perfect place of refuge by birds; most notably pigeons. The panels give:

  • Rain and wind-shelter

  • Rays of the warm panels

  • Predator defense

Once birds settle under your solar panels, they begin nesting, which introduces a range of problems. Over time, the issue can escalate, leading to costly repairs and health hazards.

The Dangers of Bird Infestation in Solar panels

Some consequent issues that are dangerous when you permit birds to nest under your solar panels are:

1. Panels injury

Wires: wires may be chewed into by birds and other components may be knocked against it interrupting the workability of your solar panels and thus destabilize its life span.

2. Blocked Drainage

Gutters and drains have the potential of being blocked by bird droppings and nesting materials and water may start pouring out causing possible structural damages.

3. Fire Risk

The twigs and dry nesting material may create a fire hazard, and particularly with electrical wiring.

4. Noise and Smelling

The pigeons are also very noisy and the droppings grow randomly and give out a very bad smelling smack. Failing to clean, it may cause an uncomfortable atmosphere around your house.

5. Health Hazards

The birds can contaminate your family by droppings, which are carriers of diseases like Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis and Psittacosis.
