Can Birds Affect My Solar Panel?

Ever wondered if birds can affect your solar panel? Our knowledge and experience tell us that they definitely do. They can hamper the power output of the panel. Take a recent case we handled as an example for it.

A customer in Barwon Heads, Victoria, Called out to Mr Gutter cleaning to bird-proof 16 solar panels present at their home. The customer had complained about the bird situation that was affecting his solar panelling.

To get the full benefits of solar power energy, it is important to keep panels free of any dirt, bird droppings, and dust. Mr. Gutter and Mr. Solar Cleaning specialises in solar panel cleaning and was able to clean any residue on the solar panels. After that, our technician applied birdproof netting, to stop future birds from nesting on or around the panels.

The solar panels look new with complete bird proofing. Now those pesky seagulls will need to find another home.

I hope we could answer your question about whether or not birds can affect your solar panel. Our recommendation for a solution in such cases is to regularly get your panels cleaned.
