Why it matters
Pigeons nesting under solar panels? Here’s why it’s a problem
The gap under your panels is sheltered, warm and safe from predators – once pigeons move in, they keep coming back. Left alone, the problem only grows.
Noise & mess
Early-morning cooing, scratching and droppings on windows, cars, patios and gutters.
Health & damage risks
Nesting material, bird mites and acidic droppings can damage cables, tiles and gutters.
Lower solar output
Heavy droppings on the glass can reduce how much energy your panels produce.

Guide
What is solar panel pigeon proofing?
Solar panel pigeon proofing (also called solar bird proofing or solar panel bird mesh) closes the gap between your panels and the roof so pigeons can’t get underneath to nest. It’s the most reliable long-term way to stop pigeons nesting under solar panels.
Our trained pest controllers first remove any nesting birds and debris, then clean the area and apply a biocide treatment to get rid of bird mites and break down hardened guano. Finally, we fit galvanised mesh, cut to fit your array and attached with plastic-coated steel clips – nothing is drilled into your roof or panels, so your warranty stays intact.

FAQs
Solar panel pigeon proofing FAQs
Can’t see your question? Email us or submit an enquiry – we’re happy to help.
Why do pigeons nest under solar panels?
The gap between your panels and the roof is sheltered, warm and hidden from predators – an ideal, safe nesting spot. Once a pair settles, they tend to return year after year.
How much does it cost to pigeon proof solar panels?
Most UK homes pay between £350 and £1,200. The cost of removing pigeons from under your panels and installing mesh is fairly standard – the main factors are the size of your system and access – whether our technicians can use a ladder or need scaffolding. Send us a photo for a free, exact quote.
What is included in a solar panel pigeon proofing job?
Removal of nesting pigeons and nests, cleaning the area so no birds or animals are left under your panels, a biocide treatment to kill bird mites and break down hardened guano, then cut-to-fit galvanised mesh fixed with plastic-coated clips.
Will you drill into my roof or solar panels?
No. We never drill into your roof or panels. The mesh is attached with plastic-coated steel clips.
Will pigeons stay around after the proofing is installed?
Pigeons may try to return at first, but they move on once access under the panels is blocked. If your panels are re-invaded within 10 years, we return and solve the problem free of charge.
What happens if the weather is bad on installation day?
Safety always comes first. Wet, slippery or moss-covered roofs are dangerous for our technicians, so we may need to rearrange your appointment for another date.
