Solar Panel Bird Protection & Proofing
Solar panels are a high-value investment to any home; unfortunately, they can be vulnerable to damage by birds. Often missed by solar panel salespeople, homeowners need to consider bird protection and bird prevention to avoid damage that is often unlikely to be covered by your warranty.
Having a pest control solution that helps protect your investment, is a great investment it protects your solar panels from birds or rodents.

- We offer 100% no obligation-free quotes.

Our solar panel bird protection services prevent birds from gaining access to the gap between the roof and the underside of your solar panel. This eliminates birds, vermin, and other pests from damaging your solar panels and the underlying roofing system.
1 in 5 homes have pigeon-related problems, and pigeons nesting under solar panels is one major issue.
Dealing with birds nesting around solar panels is challenging; preventing damage, removing bird mess, and getting rid of the birds. It is always easier to prevent birds nesting than removing – so be proactive about your bird proofing today.

How we bird proof your solar panels
The best bird-proofing method for protecting your solar panels from birds is using our Solar Mesh. We designed and manufactured this wire mesh bird guard product specifically to help with bird prevention for solar panels.
Other kinds of bird guard mesh reduce air flow meaning your panels heat up which would diminish the amount of energy your panels can collect per day. Our solar mesh is specially designed to avoid this problem, so you can safely use it to protect your panels from damage.
The high strength solar panel mesh effectively prevents birds’ access, and the specific design of the solar panel mesh allows plenty of air to flow through without interruption.
The solar panel mesh is also unlikely to cause any harm to the birds; it merely prevents them from being able to get at your solar panels to cause damage.
We also are the only company Australia able to offer a bushfire protection compliant solar mesh screening installation using on of our aluminium mesh types with specialised fittings.Â
