How BirdBlocker Prevents Costly Repairs to Your Solar Panel
Solar panels are a long-term investment—and like any valuable asset, they need protection. BirdBlocker is a proven bird deterrent system that helps you safeguard your solar panels from an often-overlooked threat: bird nests.
What is BirdBlocker?
BirdBlocker is a discreet, durable barrier system installed around the perimeter of solar panels. It prevents birds and other pests from nesting underneath without damaging the panels or roof tiles. Designed to blend in with your installation, it allows for airflow and drainage—while keeping birds out for good
The Hidden Problem: Birds + Solar Panels = Expensive Repairs
Birds are drawn to the warm, sheltered space beneath solar panels. It’s ideal for nesting—but a nightmare for your system. Here’s what bird nests can lead to:
- Overheating: Debris buildup restricts airflow, causing overheating and efficiency loss.
- Fire Risk: Dry twigs and feathers near electrical wiring are a serious fire hazard.
- Corrosion & Wear: Droppings are acidic and can eat into panels, frames, and wiring.
- Costly Repairs: Removing nests and replacing chewed cables adds up quickly.
What seems like a harmless bird problem can easily become a multi-thousand-dollar repair job. It is also a significant risk to the birds as the temperatures rise throughout spring and summer, boiling the chickens in their shells.
