Hidden Issues
The Problems Solar Panels Create
Many homeowners / businesses install solar panels expecting them to run maintenance-free for decades. Unfortunately, installed panels often create the perfect sheltered nesting space for pigeons.
Birds Nesting Under Solar Panels
Pigeons love the warm, sheltered gap beneath solar panels. Once they start nesting, the problem escalates quickly. Without proper solar panel bird protection, the infestation usually gets worse over time.
- Constant noise on the roof
- Droppings covering the panels
- Blocked gutters and clogged ventilation
- Damage to wiring and roofing materials

Declining Solar Panel Efficiency
Solar panels rely on sunlight to generate power. When they become covered in bird droppings, moss, lichen, dust, and pollution residue, their efficiency drops significantly. Regular professional cleaning restores their full output and protects your investment.
We have mobile elevated platforms and rope access teams to overcome all access challenges.
