Pigeons under solar panels? Signs to look for
Pigeons nesting under solar panels is the most common bird problem we see on Hertfordshire homes. These are the usual warning signs.
Noise from the roof
Cooing, scratching and flapping above the bedrooms, usually loudest at first light during spring and summer.
Nests and feathers
Twigs, straw and feathers poking out from under the edge of the solar array or collecting in the gutter.
Bird droppings
Streaks on the panels, windows, patio and car – a sure sign pigeons are living under your panels.
How solar panel bird mesh works
Solar panel bird mesh is a strong, galvanised wire mesh that is cut to fit the edge of your array and fixed to the panel frames with plastic-coated clips. It closes the gap between the panels and the roof all the way round, so pigeons and other birds simply can’t get underneath.
Because the mesh clips to the frames, there is no drilling into your roof or your solar panels, and your panel warranty is not affected. Air still flows freely under the array, so the panels stay cool and keep generating efficiently.
Bird mesh for solar panels is far more effective than spikes, fake owls or netting. Spikes stop birds perching on the edge, but pigeons just walk underneath; decoys only work for a few days. Mesh is a permanent, physical barrier.
Our process
Our Hertfordshire bird proofing process
Most Hertfordshire homes are completed in a single visit.
1
Photo quote
Send a few photos of your panels and your postcode. We reply with a fixed, no-obligation price for pigeon proofing your solar panels.
2
Remove the pigeons
On the day, we humanely move the pigeons on from under the solar panels and remove every nest. We never harm the birds.
3
Clear droppings and treat
All bird droppings, twigs and debris are removed from under the array and the gutters, and the area is treated with a biocide for mites and guano.
4
Fit the bird mesh
Solar panel bird mesh is cut to fit and clipped around the whole array, sealing every gap – with no drilling into your roof or panels.
Pigeon proofing solar panels cost in Hertfordshire
Most Hertfordshire homes pay between £350 and £1,200 for pigeon proofing their solar panels. The cost of bird proofing solar panels depends on:
- How many panels you have and how the array is laid out
- Roof height and access – ladders, roof equipment or scaffolding
- How much nesting material and bird droppings need clearing
The price always includes removing the pigeons, clearing the mess, the biocide treatment and the bird mesh. Send photos for a fixed quote.

Bird dropping removal under your solar panels
Pigeons under solar panels leave behind a thick layer of droppings, nests and feathers. Bird droppings are acidic and can carry bacteria and mites, so every pigeon proofing job in Hertfordshire includes removing the droppings and debris from under the array and treating the area before the mesh is fitted.
This clear-out is part of our proofing service – we don’t offer standalone panel or roof cleaning, but we make sure everything under your panels is clean and hygienic before we seal it.
Pigeon proofing solar panels Hertfordshire – FAQs
How much does pigeon proofing solar panels cost in Hertfordshire?
Most homes in Hertfordshire pay between £350 and £1,200. The price depends on the number of panels, the layout of the array and how easy the roof is to reach. Send us a few photos and we’ll give you a fixed price.
How do I get pigeons out from under my solar panels?
The pigeons need to be moved on, the nests removed and the gap under the panels sealed with bird mesh. If the gap isn’t sealed, they will simply return. We do all three in one visit.
Is solar panel bird mesh worth it?
Yes. Mesh is the only method that physically stops pigeons getting under the panels. It protects your roof, gutters and solar output, and it is backed by our 10-year guarantee.
Will bird mesh damage my solar panels?
No. The mesh is fixed to the panel frames with plastic-coated clips. Nothing is drilled into the panels or the roof, so your warranties are unaffected.
Do you cover St Albans, Harpenden and Berkhamsted?
Yes – along with Watford, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford, Hitchin, Bishop’s Stortford and every other town and village in Hertfordshire.
Do you remove the bird droppings?
Yes. All droppings, nests and debris under the panels are removed and the area is treated before the mesh goes on.
How long does bird proofing solar panels last?
The galvanised mesh is non-corrosive and built to last for many years. Every installation is covered by our 10-year guarantee.
What if there are eggs or chicks?
Active nests are protected by UK wildlife law. If we find one, we’ll explain the options – usually proofing the rest of the array and returning to finish once the young have fledged.
