Bird Mesh
Looking for a new home?
Did you know that birds also love solar panels? We can’t blame them but…
Unwanted visitors like birds see the space under solar panels as an ideal spot for nesting as it’s nice and cosy and sheltered, have a look at this cute little baby pigeon we rescued from under a solar panel.
Bird mess
While they may seem harmless, bird nests can cause significant problems for your solar energy system:
- Bird droppings and nesting materials can accumulate on the panels, potentially damaging the panels and reducing their efficiency. Pigeon droppings are also highly corrosive, further reducing the longevity of your panels.
- Dry nesting materials pose a fire risk, especially when in contact with electrical wiring.
- Birds and their droppings can carry diseases, which could pose a health risk to your family and pets. It can even get into your rainwater tank, causing even bigger issues.
- Removing nests or dealing with bird infestations can be challenging and potentially expensive.
- Pigeon families building a home under your solar investment can make some serious noise.
The solution? Solar panel bird mesh
Solar panel bird mesh is a protective barrier installed around the edges of solar panels. This mesh prevents birds from accessing the space beneath the panels, keeping it free from nests, droppings, and other debris and thus protecting the roof, electrical wiring and panels from damage.
The Vexo bird mesh Sydney Air & Solar uses is made from durable stainless steel and PVC coated, ensuring it can handle Australian weather conditions while not interfering with the panels’ function. It’s designed to be unobtrusive and blend in with the solar panels and it protects panels without damaging or voiding panel warranty.
Ready for take-off!
Investing in solar panel bird mesh is a wise decision for any solar panel owner. Not only will it protect your solar system investment and save you money on potential damage repairs, it will improve the efficiency of your solar panels.
Solar bird mesh comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty against faulty or defective parts.
