The Importance Of Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels
Pigeons might seem harmless when you see them on the streets or flying in the sky, but they can cause serious problems for homeowners with solar panels. That’s because they often defecate on panels, blocking sunlight and causing reduced efficiency.
If pigeons nest under your solar panels, they can damage the whole system, as well as your roof. If you have a loft conversion or bedrooms near the roof, birds can cause sleepless nights and a major disturbance for you and your family.
As well as being irritating, a pigeon problem can also be a serious health hazard. That’s because pigeons spread diseases through their droppings, and can also carry other pests, such as bird mites, ticks and fleas. If pigeons die under your panels, the dead pigeons might be stuck under there and can rot, leading to major issues.

Get Fast Solar Panel Bird Proofing
If you have pigeons nesting under your solar panels, you need them gone fast. Pigeons and all wild birds are protected under The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which means that you can’t legally disturb their nests or young.
So, once pigeons build a nest under your solar panels, you have to leave them until the young have flown. This can take 4 weeks or more, during which time the pigeons can cause major damage to your roof, solar panels, wiring and other parts of the system that you’ve invested in.
With solar panel bird proofing from LPPC Environmental, you can get year round protection for your solar panels and ensure you get the best from it.

Why Do Pigeons Nest Under Solar Panels?
Pigeons and other birds nest under solar panels because they are comfortable and will keep them safe from the weather and predators. Also, they make a safe environment for them to build their nests. If bird proofing wasn’t fitted during your solar panel installation, then it will be easy for them to gain access and make the most of this comfortable space.
Are Bird Droppings Dangerous?
Bird guano carries diseases that can spread to humans, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. If pigeon droppings dry on a hard surface, like solar panels, and are then scraped off or flake off on their own, they can get into the air and be breathed in, meaning almost anyone could be infected.
Is Solar Panel Cleaning Carried Out Before The Panels Are Bird Proofed?
LPPC Environmental will remove all droppings, used nesting materials and other debris before we install your solar panel pigeon proofing solutions. This approach will ensure that your solar panels perform at maximum efficiency for many years and reduce the need for costly repairs to your system.
How Much Does Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels Cost?
The cost of pigeon proofing your solar panels depends on a range of factors, including the size of the system, the type of solar panel protection you need, and any access issues we might face. For a bespoke quote, call LPPC Environmental today.
