Solar Panel Bird Proofing Nottingham & Lincoln If you have pigeons living under your solar panels, you'll know first-hand they are not only a noisy nuisance but a health risk too!
Our solar panel bird proofing service is now in high demand due to the rapid growth in the pigeon population, and the damage they can cause.
Why is solar panel bird proofing so important?
Pigeons breed up to six times per year, so their population increases rapidly.
They carry more diseases than rats, including bird fleas, which can quickly spread within your roof space.
Germs carried by pigeons nesting under your solar panels can often spread onto your footwear and throughout your home.
Once they find shelter under your solar panels, the pigeons will begin to mate. Their young will then continue to take shelter and nest under the panels.
During the summer months as the pigeon nests dry out, there is an increased risk of fire under the panels which could be disastrous for your home.
Pigeon droppings are highly corrosive and can cause electrical shorts on the wiring connections under the panels. And pigeons can also pull the cables apart as they try to find shelter.
So, you can probably see why solar panel bird proofing is highly recommended!
How do we bird proof your solar panels?
Once at your property, we gain safe access to the solar panels and assess the pigeon infestation under the panels. We then safely and humanely flush out all the birds and debris.
We inspect for signs of any damage caused by the birds. And can clear out the guttering, unblock any down pipes caused by the bird droppings, and check for any leaking connections.
We then install a black PVC coated galvanised mesh around your solar panels. It's almost invisible from the ground but blocks access under the panels to ALL birds.
Should any bird get under your panels again in the future, we will come straight out to remove the birds from under your solar panels and rectify any issues which have allowed them access!
We use a solar panel specific plastic clip which is designed to attach the mesh to your panels (this does not impact your solar panel warranty).
Once the solar panels are bird proofed, we can carry out the solar panel cleaning service, allowing you to get the best return on your investment.
How much does solar panel bird proofing cost?
It is difficult to quote accurately without viewing the property. Estimated costs as follows:
Up to 10 panels on an average 2/3 bed home - approximately £650
Up to 18 panels on an average 3/4 bed home - approximately £750
If scaffolding is required this would also add cost to the service. Scaffolding above a conservatory would cost around £600-£780 + cost of the bird proofing service.
This also includes clearing of the guttering below your solar panels and the cleaning of the panels themselves.
