Pigeons and other birds nesting under solar has become a big problem in Southend. Many Solar systems have been installed without any provision for bird proofing.
Pigeons nesting under solar panels can wreak havoc for a solar system. The void between your solar panels and roof is a perfect protected nesting site for birds, and pigeons in particular. Exactly where they want to be, nice and high up. Pigeons need cover over their heads when nesting, and unlike most birds, they nest all year round in the UK.
Over time, this leads to pigeons fouling in the entire area underneath, around and even on top of your panels. The main issue this can cause, is reduced productivity. In many solar installs, the solar system is only as effective as the least productive panel. If a panel is covered in bird mess it will significantly reduce the output from your panels.
Fouling can also cause corrosion to all the different material types found on your roof. On top of this it is messy and can carry harmful bacteria and disease. This is also highly likely to result in biting bird mites entering your property, a problem which can be costly to solve.
Lawson Electrical is able to offer bespoke bird proofing solutions for any solar construction in Southend and the surrounding areas.. This will consist of heavy gauge steel bird mesh being wrapped around the solar panels restricting all access to underneath the panels. it is cut to size to adjust to the landscape of your roof and to ensure it is kept especially tight around corners.
