I had approached multiple companies for a quote for bird proofing for my panels - lots of quotes no-one came to do the work. Contacted Solar edge protection and frankly could not have been better. Quickly contacted by the office - sent some pictures got a quote. Guys came on the day at the time arranged were very professional. Fixed some issues with my system while they were at the job. Cannot praise them enough. Excellent workers and a very professional jobPosted on Yell![]()

From my initial call to Solar Edge Protection to the job being completed, everything was carried out efficiently & professionally. The boys did a great job and tidied any mess up too. I'd had a really bad pigeon squatting problem under my panels but this was taken care of and my panels were cleaned, gutters and slates were cleared too. Problem solved and the roof looks great, no longer ashamed to look at it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. Thank you.Posted on Trustindex![]()

Top quality solar panel maintenance We were very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the team from Solar Edge. Tommy and his colleagues replaced the defective bird-proofing on our solar panels, and cleared out the pigeon nest debris from underneath. At every stage they were happy to explain what they were doing, and they completed the work in about an hour. We would be very happy to use them again - though of course we don't expect to need to for a few years!Posted on Trustindex![]()

Solar panels help you save on energy costs and are good for the environment. Do you know what they are good for?
Birds! Birds love solar panels!
Solar panels perched on your rooftop is a haven for pesky pigeons and other birds. Warm shelter and protection under the panels is perfect for them, but definitely not for you.
Here’s some of the hazards they can cause;
*Squirrels chew wiring, and that can damage your electrical system, creating a potential fire hazard.
*Pigeons underneath solar panels create serious health risks.
*Contamination can degrade your roof, panels and property.
*Accumulation of leaves and debris can lead to roof damage.
*Bird nuisance might keep you up all night.
Whether it’s birds, pigeons or pests under your solar panels, get rid of them ASAP!
Our solar contractors undertake a thorough survey to make an accurate assessment. Before commencing the work, we ensure that all the safety precautions are in place, including the risk assessments and method statements.
Our team makes sure to remove the birds, pigeons, pests and debris from your solar panels. All of this will be done without effecting the existing panel structure. We will make birds, pigeons and pests are removed long term!
Do not worry if your panels are stained with bird droppings. We clean the panels using the best approved cleaning fluid. Our team will remove the bird debris and decontaminate the guttering to make it perfect again.
You have spent money and time selecting the perfect solar solution. Now it is time to safeguard it. Removing the nests and cleaning out the droppings might be the best start. Cleaning the panels gets
difficult after they have been installed in the first place. The ideal way to install the barriers is when you are planning on installing the solar panels. If you are thinking of going solar, consider installing bird proofing solutions too.
Our 5* customer reviews on the likes of Google, Facebook and Yell say it all.
Solar panel mesh installation is a method of protecting the space around solar PV panels from birds and other pests. A specialist mesh is fitted around the perimeter of the panels, creating a physical barrier that prevents birds, squirrels and other animals from getting underneath the array and nesting around the roof.
The mesh is normally made from galvanised or coated steel and is cut to follow the shape of the solar panel array. Special clips or brackets attach the mesh to the panel frames rather than drilling into the roof or damaging the panels. The lower edge is secured close to the roof surface to minimise gaps through which birds can enter.
A typical installation involves:
1.Inspecting the solar array and identifying existing nests, debris or damaged cables.
2. Cleaning the area beneath the panels where necessary.
3. Measuring the perimeter of the array.
4. Cutting the mesh to the required height and length.
5. Attaching clips to the panel frames, avoiding penetration of the panels and roof covering.
6. Securing the mesh around the complete perimeter.
7. Checking corners, joints and cable routes for potential entry points.
8. Inspecting the finished installation to ensure ventilation and drainage have not been obstructed.
Care is particularly important when working around solar PV equipment. Installation should be undertaken by appropriately trained personnel using suitable access and fall protection equipment where working at height is involved.
Often when people first contact us they ask for solar panel mesh installation. If you have already bought solar panel mesh we are happy enough to fit it.
However Solar Panel Edge Protection Ltd offers a superior solution, that is guaranteed to work first time and stand the test of time. Over the years we have replaced hundreds of solar panel mesh installations, due to poor materials and installs.
Birds cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the solar panels each year. While birds are sheltering under the panels, they attract squirrels and rodents too. The critters will go on to chew through the electrical wiring, which is one of the leading causes of short circuits.
Did you know that bird nests and droppings can harbour more than 60 diseases?

*The debris might cause a roof to rot.
*Bird noise can be too much to bear.
Squirrels do not stop gnawing, but can your wires handle it?
If you want your wires in a perfect state, you must keep squirrels and other pests away. The replacement cost for damaged wires outweighs the cost of getting your panels squirrel proofed. Denying access to squirrels and other pests can help you:
*Avoid a fire hazard.
*Keep your wires damage-free. (chew free!)
*Mess and dirt-free roof.
*Get a good night’s sleep!
The number of problems arising because birds decided to nest under the roof is far more to be ignored. You need to have some options handy to get rid of the menace. You cannot get rid of the birds by hushing them away. First, because there is limited space under the panels for you to reach and second, the birds can, and they will come again.
The Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981
The act states that any person is liable for persecution if they:
· Kill, injur, take any wild bird
· Take, damage, or destroy the nest of wild bird
· Take damage, destroy, the nest while the nest is in use or is being built.
· Take/destroy an egg of any wild bird.
Intentional or unintentional, if you do not adhere to the legislation, you can be held liable and fined. Therefore, it is essential to seek expert advice if you believe birds are trying to nest under the roof. The best way out is:
· To deter birds from building the nests.
· To install bird proofing while installing panels.
We can help you address bird invasions with our best professional means. Our one-stop solution to the bird control needs can help your roof in the most effective way possible.
Gel
In some cases, the gel works, but it needs to be applied in a way to ensure optimal performance. Our team will analyse the situation first before suggesting a solution.
Panel Mesh
Ideally installed at the time of solar panel installation, the technique involves a wire mesh that fits snuggly around the panels. The mesh makes it impossible for birds to make it in between the panel spaces. Our solar panel protective mesh is one of the cost-effective solutions which never fails its mission.
Spikes
We can help you install spikes to keep the birds from resting on any surface. Our spikes are available in a variety of sizes to fit any requirement. The material is corrosion free, which ensures along with life.
Ultrasonic deterrents
Sonar deterrent is a device that emits unpleasant noise which keeps the birds from landing or roosting. The sound is inaudible to humans, and the device runs on solar power. We will not only help you install the devices, but our team can help you with the device maintenance services as well.
