Animal Welfare, Protection, and the Nesting Season

Prevent Bird Nests - the Eco-Friendly Way!

Although it might seem harmless, allowing birds to nest under your solar panels isn't a sustainable solution. Temperatures rise beneath solar panels, frequently hitting 70° Celsius or more in the summer. Birds then leave their nests under these circumstances, leaving behind eggs or chicks.

Installing animal-friendly bird proofing can encourage birds to find safer locations by actively discouraging them from building nests under your panels. This benefits both your solar setup and the birds themselves.

   ➜ Act Quickly! -- Install bird proofing

If you notice bird activity, consider installing BirdBlocker as soon as possible. It's helpful to plan your protection in advance to reduce costs and simplify preparation. If you see an active nest, it's best to schedule removal and installation after nesting season ends. Being proactive benefits the birds as well as your panels.

   Don't worry; it's manageable! 

Even though it's challenging to determine the extent of damage until it's removed, eliminating the nest reduces problems like odor, pests, and — most importantly — fire hazards. Since birds frequently return to the same location year after year, removal should be done as soon as possible to avoid repeated nesting.

Prevention is always the best approach, so consider installing BirdBlocker ahead of the nesting season. It is usually possible to remove an existing nest that has been abandoned.

| Nesting Season Awareness

Particular protection is given to wildlife during their nesting seasons. Often abandoned nests can still be removed, active nests cannot be disturbed. Save the future headache and install preventive measures as soon as possible to keep birds from nesting around your solar panels.

Always make sure to check the requirements for your locality.
