Owning solar panels is a fantastic way to utilize the power of the sun and generate clean, sustainable energy. Both the environment and your wallet benefit from this. However, like any good thing, it can come with its own set of challenges, particularly when birds and pigeons decide to turn your solar panels into their cozy nesting spot.

Don’t let these pests ruin your great investment, bird proofing your system will ensure that you won’t have any issues with nests and bird waste on your panels and on your roof which can cause major issues down the road.

Pigeons nesting under your rooftop solar panels poses a series of issues that extend beyond mere inconvenience; they can affect your panels, roof, and overall well-being. Here's a closer look at the potential problems:

• Affected Structure: Bird nests under solar panels interfere with water drainage and airflow, leading to potential water damage and overheating. This can result in structural damage to both your roof and panels, akin to dealing with a clogged drain that needs urgent attention.

• Reduced Solar Panel Efficiency: Accumulated bird droppings on the panels block sunlight, causing a decline in efficiency. For instance, if your solar panels initially operate at 100% efficiency, bird droppings can reduce this to 80% or even lower. It's comparable to attempting to drive with a dirty windshield – you won't get very far.

• Higher Maintenance Costs: To ensure your solar panels stay clean and well-maintained, frequent cleaning and repairs may be necessary. This incurs additional costs and creates ongoing headaches, comparable to the constant cleaning required due to messes left behind by unwanted guests.

Pigeon nesting under your solar panels is a serious matter, but there's no need to panic. FlowState Solar Cleaning is here to come to the rescue, providing solutions to address these concerns effectively.
