Solar Panel Bird Protection

Solar panels are a great investment for clean energy and saving money on electric bills, but what happens when your investment is damaged, becomes less efficient and costs you extra money in clean-up and repairs? This is the exact outcome of pest birds landing and roosting on solar panels, or accessing the area beneath solar arrays. Solar panel bird protection is necessary to protect solar panels from pest birds.

When pest birds use the area beneath solar panels to build nests they leave behind nesting materials, debris and potentially harmful diseases. Birds can carry 60 known transmittable diseases that are easily spread to humans either through direct contact with their droppings or by inhaling dried particles in the air. Avoid damage, health hazards and costly maintenance and clean-up costs by installing solar panel bird protection.

The solar panel bird deterrent kit is designed to prevent pest birds from accessing the area beneath solar arrays. Pest birds will nest under the solar array, creating a huge mess, causing damage and costly repairs and clean-up. Protect wiring systems, solar panels and rooftops with the solar panel exclusion kit.

This solar house kit will cover a standard 3kW system (2 rows of 6 panels each - 12 panels total installed in a portrait orientation). The kit includes: 35 solar clips and 10 hardware cloth (wire mesh) panels that are precut to 5 x 8. This will cover 50 feet.

The solar panel bird exclusion system can be installed at any time, but its best to install the system while the solar panels are being put in. This will ensure pest birds never have the opportunity to nest beneath the solar arrays, which can save the headache clean-up and possibly repair costs later. The system is easy to install and is an added value to extend the life of the solar panels. Make the investment to protect your investment.
