In the ever-expanding world of renewable energy, solar panels stand tall at the forefront of sustainable power. But as the popularity of solar panels upon roofs across the nation soars, so does the challenge of unwanted birds who see the shiny structures as ideal perching spots.

Bird deterrent is one of hundreds of solar products on the market, yet it is often an oversight when it comes to installations. People opt against it for a number of reasons such as added cost, the worry about how it might look, or they simply don’t think it’s a necessity. The truth is, it’s not. But here we are going to tell you just why we think you’d be wise to invest.

We can all appreciate birds and their important role to play in the world, but when it comes to solar, they can pose a real threat to the efficiency and longevity of installations. Nesting problems, droppings and debris accumulation can compromise the functionality of solar panels, leading to decreased energy output and increased maintenance costs.

There are three options with us for bird proofing your solar, all of them humane - we’re about creating and promoting a balanced co-existence between renewable energy installations and the surrounding environment. We’ll explain what each option is and how it works.
