Solar panel proofing
Solar panels can provide and ideal habitat for birds to nest behind. We offer a comprehensive solar panel proofing service to remove all traces of birds and associated insects and prevent future infestation.
When we are needed?
Solar panel proofing is needed if birds or other animals are nesting behind them. You will notice signs of nesting such as noise, scratching, animal waste and potential damage.
Damage of nesting behind panels.
Aside from the noise and the mess birds nesting behind the panels can cause a range of damage. It is common to find DC cables stripped which is one of the most expensive forms of damage we come across. Nesting behind the panels also cause the panels to run hotter meaning they generate less. Waste from nesting birds can permanently stain brick and render as it is acidic.
