SOLAR PANEL BIRD PROOFING · KENT
Pigeons nesting under your solar panels?
Birds nesting beneath solar panels can create noise and mess around your property, as well as potentially causing problems around the panels and cabling. Solec provides solar panel bird proofing for homeowners across Kent, helping prevent pigeons and other birds from getting underneath your panels.

Solar panels can create a sheltered space between the panels and roof, which birds may use for nesting.
If you’ve noticed birds repeatedly disappearing underneath your panels, it’s worth dealing with the problem before it becomes more established.

Already have birds nesting underneath?
Tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll advise on the appropriate next step.
Solec didn’t install your panels? That’s fine.
You don’t need to be an existing Solec customer to ask us about bird proofing. If another company installed your solar panels, Solec can still look at the existing system and advise whether we can help protect it from birds. This is especially useful if your original installer is no longer available or doesn’t provide bird proofing.
