Bird and pigeon proofing

Stop pigeons nesting under your solar panels

Pigeons love the sheltered gap under solar panels. The result is mess, noise, blocked gutters and, sometimes, damaged cables. Our Colwyn Bay team clears them out and keeps them out, across North Wales, the Wirral and Cheshire.

Signs you have a pigeon problem

  • Cooing and scratching from the roof.

  • Lower generation or a fault after birds moved in.

How we fix it

  • Clear out nests, droppings and debris from under the panels.
  • Check the wiring and connectors for damage, and repair it.
  • Fit mesh around the edge of the panels so birds can't get back in.
  • Check the system is generating properly before we leave.

Questions

Why do pigeons nest under solar panels?

The gap between the panels and the roof is sheltered, warm and safe from predators, so pigeons use it to nest and roost.

What damage can pigeons cause?

Nesting material and droppings build up under the panels, cables can be pecked or chewed, and the noise and mess can be a nuisance. Debris can also hold water against the roof.

How do you stop them?

We clear out nests and debris, check the wiring for damage, and fit mesh around the edge of the panels so birds can't get underneath.

Will bird proofing affect my panels or warranty?

We use mesh made for solar panels and explain exactly how it is fixed on your system before any work starts.

How much does pigeon proofing cost?

It depends on the size and layout of your array. Call us and we'll give you a price before any work starts.
