Solar panel Pigeon proofing Orpington

Solar panels in Orpington are a fantastic addition to your home or business, as they can help you become more sustainable. However, solar panels can attract potentially annoying nuisances. After installation, the area beneath the panels becomes warm and provides a place for birds to nest. Unfortunately, this new guest is not welcome, as they can damage your solar panels and hinder their performance.

These birds can also cause damage to your property in general. They can ruin the appearance of the exterior of your property, which is especially detrimental if you run a business. JR Cleaning offers a solar panel bird proofing service, which includes putting up bird spikes to help deter birds from nesting beneath your panels and perching on your building.

Bird proofing your solar panels

Since solar panels in  Orpington are such a high cost, upfront expense, it is crucial they are looked after, which means bird proofing them properly. JR Cleaning in Kent can carry out an inspection to establish the best form of bird proofing for your solar panels and property.

Bird proofing involves forming a barrier around the perimeter of the solar panels to stop birds from nesting beneath the panels. Bird proofing barriers can include bird mesh wire, bird spikes, solar skirts or other barriers suitable for your property.

Different types of bird spikes

Bird spikes are a standard method for bird proofing buildings and solar panels. These discreet yet effective spikes will help deter birds from perching or nesting on your property. Not only can bird spikes protect your solar panels, but they can also stop birds from damaging things such as guttering, chimney pots or beams. Certain birds or a mass of birds can cause damage simply by the pressure they add when they perch on your property.

There are different types of bird spikes to consider, which JR Cleaning can talk you through, many of these spikes can be attached to both curved and flat surfaces. Stainless steel bird spikes are a common choice for commercial and domestic properties, as they are less visible than plastic bird spikes. Stainless steel bird spikes will protect a larger area and will remain sturdy for a long duration of time.

Plastic bird spikes are another option to consider and are less expensive but less sturdy than stainless steel spikes. The benefit of plastic bird spikes is that they are available in various colours, so you can opt for ones that match the aesthetic of your building if you wish.
