Solar Panel Bird & Pest Protection in Wales & South West England
Professional Solar Panel Bird Proofing & Pest Prevention BirdBlocker, SolaSkirt & More
Why Pest Prevention Is Essential
Unwanted guests under your panels can cause:
Bird droppings reducing energy output
Nesting materials blocking airflow and overheating panels
Gnawed electrical cables from squirrels or rodents
Damage to roof tiles, mounting rails, or connectors
Noise, hygiene, and odour problems
Without prevention, these problems can shorten your system’s lifespan and increase maintenance costs.
Our Bird & Pest Protection Options
At Solar Plants Maintenance LTD, we provide a full range of humane, warranty-safe bird and pest protection systems, from premium branded products to cost-effective solutions.
All options are installed using non-invasive methods that won’t damage your panels or roof, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.
Bird Proofing
We fit non-invasive stainless-steel or galvanised mesh around your panels to prevent birds from nesting underneath, all without drilling or voiding warranties.
Each installation includes cleaning before the mesh is fitted.
For a cleaner, long-term finish, we also offer BirdBlocker® and SolaSkirt® systems, durable, professional-grade solutions that provide seamless protection and a smart appearance.
Both are fully compatible with all panel types and designed for domestic and commercial use.
Squirrel & Rodent Protection
Squirrels and small rodents can chew through cabling and insulation, causing faults or system shutdowns.
We install fine-grade steel mesh guards and cable sleeves to protect wiring, junction boxes, and conduits, keeping your system safe and operational year-round.
General Pest Prevention
We also deter insects and small animals that can build debris or block drainage around your panels.
Our approach combines eco-friendly deterrents, regular maintenance inspections, and system checks to ensure your array remains clean, efficient, and pest-free.
No matter which system you choose, from BirdBlocker and SolaSkirt to galvanised mesh or bird spikes, we’ll recommend the right solution for your property and budget.
All work is carried out safely, professionally, and in line with Health & Safety and Environmental best practices.
