Negative Effects of Birds Nesting Under Solar Panels

Bird nests under solar panels can reduce efficiency and shorten the lifespan of your system. These nests create conditions that can negatively impact performance over time.

  • Excessive wear to wiring, panels & roof
  • Reduced efficiency from blocked airflow
  • Increased fire hazard from nesting materials
  • Surface corrosion from increased activity & droppings
  • Pest infestations from the attracted mites, fleas, etc.
  • Noise & disturbances from chirping & movement
  • Costly maintenance from cleaning & repairs

Sustainability at its Best: Eco- and Animal-Friendly

Solar energy is fundamentally about sustainability, and BirdBlocker aligns perfectly with this vision. BirdBlocker is made from recyclable materials and is safe for birds -- unlike many other bird-proofing options. BirdBlocker protects birds and their chicks from the extreme temperatures that can occur under solar panels.

Moreover, BirdBlocker partners with Trees for All and its reforestation projects. Leading to a world with more safe and natural bird nesting opportunities.

How BirdBlocker Came To Be

Paul van der Ven, a solar professional with over 20 years of industry experience, came across many issues over the years. One that came up again and again was the incompatible relationship between birds and solar panels. For the panels, this meant loss of efficiency, damaged wiring, improper ventilation, and much more. And for the birds, it is even worse (see below). Paul developed BirdBlocker as an effective and animal-friendly solar panel deterrent.

What kinds of damages can birds cause to my solar panels?

The act of nesting sees birds entering and exiting underneath your panels, damaging wiring and protective covers in the process. Once settled, nests can block cooling airflow and cause water to pool. These factors together result in reduced panel efficiency -- and even short circuits.
