Pigeon and Bird Proofing Solar Panels Mount Gravatt.

Pigeon proofing solar panels in Mount Gravatt

Solar panels are the perfect nesting grounds for Pigeons. They’re located high up on our roofs where pigeons are able to keep an eye on food and water sources. Solar panels also provide pigeons with shelter from the harsh Brisbane weather and protection from predators flying above.

In Brisbane’s suburb of Mount Gravatt, 1 in 5 homes will have pigeons nesting under solar panels. Pigeons are also very comfortable living around humans which means it makes them harder to remove as they’ll keep coming back if there is space for them to nest. The good news is that our Solarfix pigeon proofing mesh will provide your solar panels with the much needed protection from not just pigeons and other birds, but from possums and rodents as well.

Solar panel pigeon protection in Mount Gravatt

Installing a new solar system on your roof can be an expensive investment, so it’s important that you have it serviced once a year but moreso, it’s important that you protect your solar panels from nesting birds. As nice as it might seem, having wildlife like pigeons nesting under your solar panels can cause a range of health issues for you and your family. Their nests can also impact the efficiency of your panels and could end up being a fire risk to your Mount Gravatt home.

Solar panel flooding

Firstly, with Brisbane’s unpredictable weather and frequent storms in summer, pigeon nests can block rainwater washing down your roof. When it’s raining heavily, these blockages help water build up and leak inside your solar system. This could lead to your panels failing and needing to be replaced.

Pigeons carry diseases

Next, the Common Australian Pigeon is a carrier for diseases, including pests like mites and lice, that could affect the health your family. Pigeon droppings also contain seriously dangerous diseases like Salmonella and E.Coli. They’ll leave their droppings all over your panels, roof and surrounding areas like outdoor tables, fences and children’s play equipment. When their droppings dry in the sun, they quickly turn to a fine powder that can be easily blown by the wind and touched by children or people unknowingly.

Droppings damage solar panels

That’s right. Pigeon droppings aren’t just bad for your health but they are more corrosive than most other bird droppings. When they leave it behind on your solar panels, it builds up and will corrode the glass, widing, and other elements of your system that leads to drops in efficiency and high power bills from how much of the glass is being blocked, and potentially having to replace affected panels.

Luckily at Solarfix, not only do we install bird proofing mesh to all of your solar panels but we offer a complementary panel clean so that you can get back to enjoying your solar power, faster.

Pigeons under solar panels are noisy

Nesting pigeons can be extremely noisy birds, especially their babies. They make sound all day but also all night. This means that the perks of working from home or sleeping in on the weekend could be disrupted very quickly. Your neighbours are also going to be affected by the birds which could lead to frustrations and disagreements.

Pigeon nests attract rats

Lastly, you run the risk of attracting rats and other pests that could call your house their home. These opportunistic animals will also prey on unsuspecting pigeons, their babies and their eggs. So if you have multiple birds roosting under solar panels, it’s important that you call our Pigeon Proofing Solar Panel experts at Solarfix on 0497 524 407 today.
