BIRDS UNDER SOLAR PANELS? GUARANTEED BIRD FREE

Birds can cause a lot of noise pollution, especially when there is little space under your solar panel installation. Had enough of all the noise on your roof? Contact us and we will make sure that peace and quiet is quickly restored.

As nesting material accumulates under the panels, ventilation is impeded. When a solar panel cannot ventilate properly, its efficiency suffers. Also, the nesting material causes a blockage in the gutter.

If birds can nest under your solar panels, they will also sit on them more often. Dirt and faeces left behind by birds will harm your yield. Also, the panels require more maintenance and cleaning in this situation.

On a hot day, the temperature under a solar panel can skyrocket. With dry nesting material under your solar panels, you have a greatly increased risk of fire. Eliminate these risks at all times with our professional solutions.

Why shield solar panels from birds?
Ventilation is very important for solar panels.
The hotter the panels get, the lower the efficiency.

The birds' nests (branches and nesting material) significantly interfere with natural ventilation and the output of the panels decreases noticeably.
Furthermore, ventilation prevents corrosion of water in the plugs.
Because the birds can no longer sit under it, they also sit on it much less.

No more noise pollution from birds between the roof and the solar panel.
These bird proofing brushes are placed between the roof tiles and the solar panel so birds can no longer make nests under them.

This ensures ventilation and cooling under the panels, In addition, they prevent birds / pests from going under the solar panels and damaging cables and components.

Troubled by Crows, Sparrows, Pigeons or other birds under your solar panels?

Protect your solar panels with the right bird protection!

Birds like to nest under solar panels because it is nice and warm and dry. In winter they keep warm under the panels, but in summer they hide from the sun. In addition, birds on the roof have an overview of what is happening on the ground, making it the ideal hiding place against predators. Between the solar panels and the roof there is enough space for birds like crows, pigeons and sparrows to build a nest. These are therefore the most common bird species that do this. To build a nest, pigeons, crows and sparrows use not only bird droppings, but also branches, cardboard, plastic paper, etc. The materials they use are flammable. Therefore, this is one reason why you want to avoid bird nests under your hot solar panels.

Why are birds not allowed to nest under the solar panel?

A break can occur in the cabling behind the solar module. Mainly in older installations, there were no protections on the solar panel system yet. As a result, the solar panels continue to generate power, causing fire may arise.
The nests caused less airflow under the solar panel. This reduces the ability of heat to escape, resulting in solar panels producing a much lower efficiency than is achievable.
Bird nuisance:. Birds spend about 9 days building a nest. Incubation takes about 12 days and on average after 20 days the young birds fly out. You suffer from bird droppings and the associated noise pollution for an average of 41 days. Bird droppings end up in the garden, but also on the solar panel. These droppings cause even lower efficiency and less attractive appearance of the house.
Costs and lost returns: Nests may not be removed once the breeding season has started. This will imply very low returns for an average of 41 days. After the breeding season, the nests can be removed. This also incurs extra costs. You simply want to prevent this rather than cure!

In the Netherlands, the solar panel should be placed at least 6 cm from the roof. In Germany and some other European countries, solar panels should be placed at least 8 cm from the roof. In both standards, the bird barrier of 15 cm is applicable.

In the bird barrier, we added double strength to also keep out jackdaws and other powerful birds.
