Experts In Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels Across Norfolk & East Anglia
The Importance Of Professional Solar Panel Bird Proofing
Solar panels are a popular choice for homeowners throughout Norfolk and Norwich who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint and be more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, solar panels are also a popular nesting site for pigeons and other birds, who seek shelter from predators and bad weather under the cover of the edges of solar panels.
While it might sound cute to have baby pigeons growing up under your solar panels, you’ll soon get tired of the noise and unsightly bird droppings left all over your roof and panels. Guano is highly corrosive and can leave lasting damage, as well as reducing the efficiency of your solar panels by blocking direct sunlight. Debris from bird nests can block gutters, leading to leaks and expensive repairs.
To protect your investment in solar technology, you need expert pigeon proofing for your solar panels. Acorn Pest Management can add pigeon proofing solutions to an existing solar installation to stop pigeons nesting underneath and improve the lifespan of your solar panels. Call 07725878712 to book your solar panel bird proofing site survey.

Pigeon Proofing Solar Panels FAQs
Do Pigeons Under Solar Panels Cause Damage?
Pigeons nesting under solar panels can cause extensive damage to your roof and solar panels. Nesting materials and debris can block gutters and even cause a fire hazard if they are close to electrical wiring. Pigeons are large birds, and can loosen roof tiles, and their droppings, also known as guano, are highly corrosive and can damage your solar panels and your home’s exterior. Birds can also spread other pests, such as bird mites, and diseases through their droppings, causing a health hazard for you and your family.
How Much Does Solar Panel Pigeon Proofing Cost?
The cost of solar panel bird proofing depends on a range of factors, such as the bird proofing options you choose, the size of your solar panel system and any access issues we might face. For a quote, get in contact today and a member of our friendly team will be happy to help.
What Solar Panel Bird Proofing Options Are Available?
When pigeon proofing solar panels, the most common solution is wire mesh, which creates a physical barrier and stops pigeons gaining access to the underside of your panels. Alongside bird netting, we can also install bird spikes to deter birds and make them less likely to roost or perch on your roof line or ledges.
Will Solar Panel Bird Proofing Harm Birds?
When fitted correctly, bird proofing for solar panels won’t harm birds, including pigeons, sparrows and other wild birds. Birds are naturally territorial, so when they realise they can’t gain access to the underside of your solar panels, they will soon move on and look for somewhere else to nest.

By working with Acorn Pest Management, you get great value bird proofing that reduces the need for future solar panel cleaning, maintenance and costly repairs.
