Bird proofing solar panels in Brisbane is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your solar system. Prevention is always best when it comes to bird proofing. Once bird proofing is installed on a roof the birds will generally relocated to the next closest house with solar panels to rebuild their home. Although, if you already have birds living rent free under your solar panels the Brisco team are equipped to bird proof your solar panels and clear the mess & build up the birds may have already made.
Birds nesting under your panels can lead to significant issues. Such as reduced energy production due to debris accumulation, potential damage to wiring and components, and unsightly messes. A mess that can harm your home’s curb appeal in addition to being unhygienic. Bird proofing helps you avoid these problems by ensuring optimal performance and preventing costly repairs.

Besides the obvious benefit of removing the birds from under your solar panels, bird proofing has a number of benefits.
As previously mentioned, it is ideal to install bird proofing as soon as you have solar panels installed. Birds are drawn to the solar panels due to their shiny surface, warmth and the large, sheltered area under the panels. Making it an ideal home in the eyes of a bird, particurally pigeons.
Additionally, as birds can no longer nest under the solar panels there is no risk of bird droppings building up on your solar panels.
Increased Bird Activity: If you notice a higher number of birds frequently perching on your roof or around your solar panels, it could indicate that they are nesting underneath. Birds may be seen flying in and out from the edges of the panels, carrying twigs or other nesting materials.
Debris Accumulation: Look for piles of nesting materials, such as twigs, leaves, and feathers, around the base of your solar panels or in your gutters. These materials are often used by birds to build nests and may spill out from under the panels.
Bird Droppings: An unusual amount of bird droppings on your roof, panels, or the ground below can be a sign of nesting. The droppings not only indicate frequent bird activity but can also damage the panels and surrounding areas over time.
Unusual Noises: If you hear persistent chirping, scratching, or rustling sounds coming from your roof, especially near the solar panels, it could suggest that birds have made a nest underneath. These sounds may be more noticeable in the early morning or evening when birds are most active.
Reduced Solar Panel Efficiency: A decrease in your solar system’s performance could indicate that debris from nests is obstructing the panels. This blockage can prevent them from receiving optimal sunlight, leading to lower energy production.
Visible Nesting Materials: If you can see nesting materials poking out from the edges of your solar panels, it’s a clear sign that birds have built a nest underneath. These materials can often be seen hanging from the sides or trapped between the panels and the roof.
