IMPORTANCE TO PIGEON PROOF YOUR SOLAR PANELS

For any home or business, the installation of solar panels reduces the energy bills. The solar panels are a safe and warm place for birds especially pigeons. If they are not stopped to come near the panels they will build their nest there and you will find the entire family of pigeons under your solar panels. This can put the safety of your solar panels at risk. Other birds and pigeons will damage your solar panels in the long run.

How Pigeons can spoil your solar system?

Your solar panels are highly affected by pigeons and birds. Let us know further –

  2. Efficiency of your Solar panel’s decreases – The dirt, poops, and mess all around the solar panel will impact the solar panel’s ability to generate solar energy.
