What is Animal Proofing?
Animal proofing for solar panels involves installing protective barriers to keep critters like birds, squirrels, and rodents from nesting under or damaging your panels. These animals can chew through wiring, build nests that block airflow, or leave debris that reduces your panels’ efficiency. The process typically includes adding durable mesh or screens around the edges of your panels to prevent access, removing any existing nests or debris, and implementing deterrents to keep pests away. It’s a simple yet effective way to protect your investment and ensure your solar panels perform at their best for years to come.
Birds, Squirrels and even Raccoons
Bird, Sqirrels an Raccoons all like to nest in or under cover out of the elements that can lead to them damage to wiring and other parts of your panels.
Corrosive Droppings
Bird droppings are very acidic and can cause corrosive damage to your solar panels if left there.
Flooding
Pigeon nests can block rain from passing under your solar panels which can cause water damage and electical faults.
Fire Risks
Nests are built from sticks, leaves and other materials that can become a serious fire hazard.
Do I need to animal proof my panels?
The simple answer is yes. Especially living within a wooded or rural area with lots of trees. Animal proofing your solar panels will save you a fortune on panel cleaning costs in the future. Having your solar panels protected from bird and other pests will also drastically reduce the need for repairs and extensive maintenance work as the proofing mesh will stop leaves and debris from building beneath.
