Solar panel bird proofing, done once, done right
Stop pigeons, possums and rats nesting under your panels. Marine-grade mesh, no-drill clip system, full nest removal and sanitisation. Brisbane fixed-price install from $589 with a 10-year warranty.
What an unprotected array actually costs you
Birds under solar panels aren't cosmetic — they cause measurable financial damage, warranty issues and safety risks. Here's what we see on Brisbane roofs every week.
Cracked cells & hot spots
Acidic droppings sit on glass and bake in QLD sun, causing micro-cracks and permanent hot-spots that void most panel warranties.
Chewed DC cabling
Rats and possums chew through DC wiring under panels — a fire risk and the #1 cause of arc-fault inverter shutdowns we attend in Brisbane.
5–25% output loss
Bird-soiled arrays lose 5–15% on average, and up to 25% on heavily fouled rows. That's hundreds of dollars per year in lost generation and exports.
Health & smell hazard
Dried droppings carry psittacosis and salmonella. Nesting material in roof cavities draws mites, fleas and creates an awful summer smell.
Roof tile damage
Possums and pigeons dislodge ridge caps and roof tiles getting under panels, causing leaks that go undetected until ceilings stain.
It only gets worse
Pigeons return to the same nest site for life. One pair becomes a colony of 30+ birds in 3 years if you don't seal the gap.

Why our mesh stays put for a decade
Half the bird-proofing jobs we're called back to fix are someone else's install that rusted, sagged or drilled the panel frame. Here's how we do it differently.
True no-drill system
Polymer clips snap onto the panel frame. No holes, no compromised warranties, no rust paths. Removable for future panel maintenance.
Marine-grade galvanising
Standard mesh rusts in Brisbane's salt air within 3 years. Ours is hot-dip galvanised then PVC coated — rated for 15+ years on the coast.
Tier-1 panel approved
Our system is approved by SunPower, REC, Jinko, Trina, Longi and Q Cells. Most cheap mesh kits void at least one panel warranty.
Full perimeter, not just front
Birds enter from the side and back. We seal every gap, every edge — not just the visible front edge that some installers settle for.
Our 5-step bird-proofing process
Free roof inspection
We send a drone or climb the roof. Count panels, measure perimeter, assess nesting under panels, photograph droppings/damage.
Fixed-price quote
Same-day quote with photos. No surprise variations on the day — pricing is per linear metre of perimeter, fully transparent.
Clean & sanitise
Old nests, droppings and debris removed by hand. Under-panel area bio-fogged. Roof tiles re-bedded where birds dislodged them.
Mesh & clip install
Galvanised mesh cut to size, secured with polymer clips to the panel frame. No drilling, no roof penetrations. 3–5 hours typical.
Warranty & photos
Walk-around with you (ground level), full photo set emailed, 10-year mesh workmanship warranty registered to your address.
