Bird-Guard Protection
The Perfect Environment
The gap between your solar panels and the roof has created a perfect, safe, warm and sheltered nesting site for birds, and pigeons in particular, exactly where they want it – nice and high up. Pigeons need cover over their heads when nesting, and unlike most birds, they nest all year round in the UK. They simply love solar panels.
Potential Problems
Pigeon fouling can become rock solid around wiring, the movement of these large birds under the panels can cause the circuits to break and the panels to stop working over time. Over time the activity of the birds can see a significant build-up of corrosive pigeon fouling on the panels and under them and in the gutters and on patios below. Pigeon fouling is nasty stuff. It can cause very serious illness indeed (even blindness) in humans if accidentally ingested, if it gets into cuts, or is breathed in dry.
