Signs you have pigeons under your solar panels
Pigeons nesting under solar panels is one of the most common problems for UK solar owners. The space under the array is sheltered and safe, so once birds settle they keep coming back. Look out for:
Cooing & scratching
Noise from the roof, especially early in the morning.
Droppings
On panels, windowsills, cars, patios and gutters.
Nesting debris
Twigs, feathers and nest material poking out from the panel edges.
Lower output
Heavy droppings on the glass can affect panel performance.
What’s included in our pigeon proofing service
Every job is carried out by our trained pest controllers, following the latest health and safety guidance.

Pigeon & nest removal
We safely remove nesting pigeons, nests and debris, making sure no birds or animals are left under your panels.

Clean-up & biocide treatment
We clear the area and apply a biocide treatment to get rid of bird mites and break down hardened pigeon guano.

Mesh installation
Galvanised mesh is cut to fit and fixed around the full array with plastic-coated steel clips – nothing is drilled into your roof or panels.

Solar panel pigeon proofing FAQs
How much does it cost to pigeon proof solar panels?

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 will move on once access under the panels is blocked. If your panels are re-invaded within 10 years, we will 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.
Does the mesh keep out other birds and animals?
Yes. Our proofing protects against pigeons, all other bird species and small animals such as squirrels.
