Solar Panel Protection

Solar panels are being installed on commercial and residential roofs across the United Kingdom at an ever-increasing rate. These arrays provide perfect harbourage for birds, and homeowners are desperate for a solution that does not involve piercing or damaging the solar panels with mechanical fixings or adhesives, hence avoiding warranty infringements.

This innovative system is designed specifically to keep all birds from getting under solar arrays, protecting the roof, wiring, and equipment from their damage. This non-penetrating system is fast and easy to install, and can be removed for service.

The wire mesh is supplied in rolls. The preferred technique is to cut it into six-foot lengths and straighten before getting onto the roof. Then, using a length of 2” X 4” timber, bend up the bottom inch of mesh to about 30 degrees. This “kick-out” helps to lock the mesh firmly into place
