Protect Your Investment In Solar Energy With Solar Panel Bird Proofing
Solar panels are a great way to embrace renewable energy and save money on your electricity bills, but they can also be a haven for pest birds. Many birds, especially pigeons, like to build nests under solar panels, but this can cause damage to the technology and health risks.
To ensure your solar panels work at peak efficiency and reduce potential public health risks, Invicta Environmental has developed a comprehensive bird-proofing service specifically designed to protect your solar panels from pigeons and other birds. Because all wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it’s important that you prevent birds from gaining access to your solar panel system, rather than waiting for them to make it their home.
When it comes to safeguarding your investment, choosing the right company is crucial. At Invicta, we go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. Our team is equipped with high-quality materials built to last, and we adhere to strict safety guidelines to protect our staff and your property. We understand that every home and solar panel system is unique, so we create custom plans to ensure we provide the best bird proofing solution for your property.
Thanks to our quality materials and expertise, Invicta is the clear choice for solar panel bird proofing in the North East, and we understand how to get rid of pigeons and keep them away. We take pride in our work and are committed to providing you with the highest level of service. If you’re ready to install solar panel pigeon proofing and ensure birds can’t shelter under your panels, get in touch today.
Invicta’s Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels Process
When you contact us about solar panel pigeon proofing, Invicta will initially attend your site to investigate your solar panels and help you find the best solution for pigeon proofing them.
After attending the site, we will produce a detailed survey report outlining the best solar panel bird proofing solution for your solar array, with solutions designed specifically to protect your solar panels.
Once we have agreed on a plan with you, we will book a date to attend the property and carry out our pigeon proofing work. Risk assessments, method statements, and copies of our team’s training certifications will be sent over before we attend the site to carry out the work.
Our fully trained bird control teams will attend site to complete the work agreed. We will then invite you to inspect the work and a detailed report will be emailed over to show that the pigeon proofing on your solar panels has been completed.
Damage Caused By Birds Nesting Under Solar Panels
Pigeons nesting or simply roosting under your solar panels can cause major issues, including:
- Health Concerns: Pigeon droppings (guano) are a serious health concern as they can spread diseases.
- Reduced Efficiency Of Your Solar Technology: The accumulation of nesting materials and bird droppings on the surface of the panels can reduce their efficiency, as the guano is acidic and can block sunlight from reaching the panels. Birds can also cause damage to wiring and equipment, potentially rendering your solar panels ineffective.
- Roof Damage: Because of their size, pigeons can also cause structural damage to your roof. Having a pigeon problem could lead to broken soffits, dislodged roof tiles, blocked gutters and other roof issues.
- Fire Hazards: If the pigeons peck at the electrical components of your solar panels, they could cause a potential fire hazard.
At Invicta Environmental North East, we prioritise the long-term performance of your solar array by never drilling through the sides, thus voiding your warranty. We offer a comprehensive bird-proofing solution that will force birds to find an alternative location, giving you peace of mind and optimal energy output. Our professional team has the expertise and experience to tackle any bird-related issue, ensuring that your solar panels remain bird-free for years.
Our experts offer 3 solar panel bird proofing options: bird mesh, SolaSkirt, and Solar Flex. We also have access to other deterrents, such as bird netting and bird spikes. The best solution for your property will vary depending on a range of factors, including the size of your solar array and how much space there is between the panels and the roof. Call 01388 309345 to find out more and stop pigeons damaging your solar panels as soon as possible.

Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels FAQs
The cost of pigeon proofing solar panels varies, but at Invicta our focus is on quality. The aim is to provide a cost-effective service that ensures you get the best quality outcome that lasts as long, if not longer, than your solar panels. Our materials cost a minimum of £400 for a solar panel installation because we believe in using only the highest-quality materials to ensure an effective solution to your bird problems. Not only are our bird proofing materials effective in keeping birds away, but they also have a visually appealing design. Remember, your solar panels will be on your roof for years to come, so investing in quality is vital. Our team can provide you with a full quote for the overall cost of solar panel pigeon proofing, so get in touch today.
Solar panel pigeon proofing can be effective at preventing pigeons from gaining access to your solar panels and the roof beneath them, but only if you get the right solution and have it installed correctly. Without solar panel pigeon proofing, your system may need more regular maintenance, and droppings can accumulate quickly, causing health issues and reducing panel efficiency. Invicta Environmental works hard to prevent damage to your solar panels by choosing the right bird proofing materials for your solar system and fitting them to the highest possible standard.
While this is no law specifically stating that scaffolding is required to work on roofs, the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 make it clear that proper safety precautions have to be taken. That means that often, scaffolding is required to ensure the safety of everyone working on a roof. At Invicta, we strictly adhere to health and safety guidelines, which means that we always have scaffolding installed for all pigeon proofing solar panel jobs. That means that our staff can work quickly and efficiently to stop pigeons nesting under your solar panels and you can have peace of mind knowing that no one will be injured during the process.
Pigeons can be a significant fire risk when they nest under solar panels. That’s because nesting materials are highly flammable, and if birds peck or damage wiring systems, they can create the perfect conditions for a fire. Also, dead pigeons can get stuck under solar panels, blocking vital airflows and causing the system to overheat. That’s why you need to be proactive and get comprehensive protection for your solar panel system from Invicta Environmental.
