Why Have Pigeons Chosen To Nest Under My Solar Panels
How to stop pigeons nesting under solar panels
There are a number of reasons that pigeons may have taken a liking to nesting under your solar panels.
Wildlife habitat is changing all the time and wildlife are always looking out for new places to call home.
As more and more trees are cut down and and more and more housing is built, it leaves wildlife and pigeons in particular nowhere else to go other than to try to find sanctuary in more suburban areas.
Solar Panels are the perfect environment for pigeons to nest under. Solar Panels are generally 4-6 inches from your roof and perfect for pigeons to multiply. The birds are sheltered from the elements, and your pitched roof keeps the nests dry.
Pigeons are also not like other birds that breed once or twice a year, they breed all year round. Producing 2 young at a time.
Once you have pigeons nesting under your solar panels, they wont just leave when their young are ready to leave the nest. They make their home there. Pigeons multiply at an alarming rate and once one pair have started nesting they will attract other pigeons and very soon you may find 20 or more Pigeons on your roof.
Should I be Worried About Birds Nesting Under My Solar Panels.
One of the first signs that pigeons have taken up residence under your solar panels is the presence of their droppings, commonly known as pigeon guano. This unsightly waste will begin to accumulate on your driveway, patio, and side paths, indicating that pigeons have made themselves at home beneath your panels.
Pigeons typically build their nests around the wiring blocks located underneath solar panels. After establishing a nest, birds will utilize it as a designated area for excretion, thereby adding to the build-up of guano. As the guano dries, it hardens and binds the nest together, potentially causing damage to the wiring.
The wire connectors that link your solar panels together consist of male and female components that clip together. When pigeons nest under your solar panels, the build-up of guano can create a hazard by disrupting the connectors. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent any damage to your solar panel system.

Why Choose Us
Many solar panel installers have started to add bird guards to their installations. While we have observed some good installations, we have also encountered bird protection systems that fail to meet the necessary standards. From rolled up chicken wire to wood battening to surround the panels we’ve seen it all and as this is just an add on to solar installers its definitely not their main priority.
