Bird-proofing solar panels is crucial for several reasons, particularly when homeowners have made significant investments in solarenergy systems. Here’s why:

1. Prevents Bird Nesting: Solar panels, especially those on pitched roofs, create a gap between the roof slope and the panels, providing an ideal nesting area for pest birds. During cooler seasons, these panels offer warmth and shelter to pigeons and rodents, encouraging them to build nests and breed. Without bird-proofing measures, these birds can multiply rapidly, leading to potential pest infestations.

2. Prevents Damage and Fire Hazards: Bird nesting under panels can cause damage to inverter electrical wiring, posing both electrical and fire hazards. Additionally, bird activity around panels during the day can result in droppings accumulating on the panels, significantly reducing their efficiency. This accumulation not only affects the performance of the panels but also increases the risk of fire and damage to electrical components.

3. Maintains Productivity and Output: In many domestic solar systems, particularly in Australia, panels are connected in series before being fed into a central inverter. This means that if one panel is shaded or covered with bird droppings, its output decreases, affecting the entire system’s productivity. To ensure the system operates at its full potential, it’s crucial to keep all panels clean and free from droppings or debris, maximizing overall output.

By bird-proofing solar panels, homeowners can protect their investment, maintain system efficiency, and mitigate potential hazards associated with bird activity.
