Solar Panel Bird Proofing Bute and Arran
The main island in the Firth of Clyde, Arran has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century by various people from the Irish colonists, to Norwegian vikings, to the modern scottish people. While a small island,10 miles wide by 20 miles long, there are seven villages: Lamlash, Shiskine Valley (including Blackwaterfoot and Macherie), Brodick, Corrie and Sannox, Lochranza, Whiting Bay, and Kilmory.
Both the Isle of Arran and the surrounding islands of Holy Island, Pladda and Hamilton Isle, have all got a long history of whiskey smuggling and whiskey production. In the early 1800s there were lots of small stills around the island (not all of them legal) but today only one remains: Arran Whiskey. With all the fabulous whiskey history they have a lot of knowledge on how to make the best whiskey. Maybe that’s the reason that there are so many pigeons there bugging the locals!
Solar Panel Bird Proofing Problem
Not only are your solar panels’ wires at risk, the yield of your panels could drop significantly should the birds foul on your panels. This said, our customers do not tend to worry about their wires as long before this becomes a problem, you will notice the noise caused by the flocks of pigeons nesting on your roof, waking you up at early morning every day, even weekends! Together with the mess, and the threat from bird mites and the fact that the pigeon breeding season is continually through March to October, I’m sure any sufferer of pests under solar panels will be sure to tell you to get it sorted out sooner rather than later! We understand the terror and mayhem squirrels and pigeons cause so we additionally offer proofing warranty on all of our work so that should you have a re-invasion of any pest under your panels, we will come out free of charge and rid you of them.

Pigeons getting under solar panels. This results in bird fouling accumulation on the roof or panels which can:
- Reduce the power output of your panels. (see solar panel cleaning)
- Results in increased insect activity in your home due to the fouling attracting insects looking to feed on it or lay eggs in it- I have seen a house become infested with flies because of this.
- Panels becoming damaged by birds and stop working altogether.
- The birds not letting you sleep due to the noise they make on the roof 24 hours a day.
- Gutters becoming blocked with bird fouling and bird fouling in the garden
The Right Solution:
The best method of fixing this problem is to install a mesh based system (not chicken wire as some people commonly suggest) around the entire solar panel array. The benefits of this being done properly include:
- Being very discreet and not very visible from ground level
- Not invalidating the warranty of your panels
- Involves no drilling and screwing thereby preventing damage to your panels.
- Can be removed if necessary without any damage to the array to allow servicing.
