Solar bird guard Bird Blocker 01

What is Bird Guard Protection?

Bird guard protection involves installing specially designed barriers around your solar panels to prevent birds from nesting underneath them. Birds may seek shelter under solar arrays, which can lead to problems, including:

  • Nesting and Debris Buildup: Birds nesting under solar panels can cause debris buildup, leading to blockages and reduced efficiency.
  • Noise: Birds can be noisy – often early in the morning. This can cause a disturbance, particularly if the bedroom is directly under the roof.
  • Damage to Wiring and Panels: Birds and their nests can damage electrical wiring and panels, potentially leading to costly repairs.
  • Increased Maintenance Costs: Regular cleaning and maintenance can become necessary to remove droppings, feathers, and nesting materials.

Our bird guard solutions provide a protective barrier that prevents these issues, keeping your solar panels in top condition.

Is Bird Protection necessary for Solar Panels?

Protecting your solar panels from bird-related issues can be crucial for maintaining their efficiency and longevity.
Here’s why bird guard protection can be important:

Enhanced System Performance

By preventing nests and debris buildup, bird guards help maintain the optimal performance of your solar PV system, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Avoid the hassle and expense of frequent cleanings and repairs. Bird guards minimise the need for maintenance, saving you time and money.

Prolonged System Lifespan

Protecting your solar panels from potential damage extends their lifespan, allowing you to enjoy years of trouble-free energy production.

Peace of Mind

With bird guard protection, you can rest easy knowing that your solar panels are safe from harm, allowing you to focus on enjoying the benefits of renewable energy.

How do I keep birds away from my solar panels?

We use BirdBlocker and SolaSkirt, two of the most effective bird guard products on the market, to protect your solar PV system.
