Tackling Avian Invasion: A Practical Guide to Keeping Birds Away from Solar Panels

Updated: Oct 6, 2023

When you first decided to install solar panels, a host of benefits likely swayed you to adopt this green energy solution. Lower energy costs, reduced carbon footprint, and enhanced property aesthetics were probably among the top considerations. However, one issue that may not have been on your radar is the surprising affinity that birds, particularly pigeons, have for solar panels.


The Unintended Bird Sanctuary

Birds, especially those in urban environments, have displayed an increasing preference for nesting under solar panels. These panels provide them a cosy, warm, and safe haven from predators. However, this seemingly harmless act of habitat selection can lead to several unwelcome issues for homeowners or installers.


The accumulation of bird droppings and nest debris can mar the sleek appearance of your panels. Delicate solar cables are at risk of damage due to pecking and scratching. Even worse, a significant build up of nest materials might hinder ventilation, leading to overheating and potentially premature failure of the solar panel system.


The Solarguard Solutions: Protective and Aesthetic

At Solarguard, we aim to counteract this avian invasion with simple yet effective solutions. We offer solar panel protectors designed to keep birds from nesting under your solar installations, shielding your investment from damage and ensuring an uninterrupted flow of green energy.


Our protectors are not merely functional - they are an aesthetic upgrade as well. Installed along the perimeter of the solar panel array, they block out access points for birds, mice and other small animals while simultaneously presenting a smooth, unified look that enhances the visual appeal of your solar panels.


Straightforward Installation

Installation of our Solaguard sytems is a direct process that your installer can easily accomplish during the panel fitting, or even added later if bird nesting proves to be a problem. As always, we're here to provide step-by-step guidance to help ensure the process goes smoothly.


The Benefits are Clear

By proactively addressing and preventing the problem of bird nesting, you safeguard the functionality and longevity of your solar panels. Our Solarguard protectors offer an effective, practical, and aesthetic solution to keep birds at bay, ensuring your solar system maintains optimal performance and a sleek appearance.


In summary, taming the avian invasion requires a straightforward solution: Solarguard solar panel protectors. It's not just a product; it’s a viable solution providing a cleaner, better-looking, and more efficient solar panel system. After all, your solar panels were installed to power your home, not to provide a nesting platform for the local bird population.
