Bird Proofing Solar Panels

Solar panels are a substantial investment, offering a sustainable and cost-effective way to generate electricity for homes and businesses in Lincolnshire.  However, one often overlooked aspect of solar panel maintenance is protecting them from birds and vermin.

At Solar Clean Lincs, we specialize in bird proofing solar panels, ensuring optimal energy production and efficiency while safeguarding your investment.

Impact of Birds & Vermin on Solar Panels

Birds and vermin can cause significant issues for solar panel systems. Bird droppings, nests, and other debris can block sunlight, reducing the panels’ ability to produce energy.

Bird droppings are particularly problematic because they are highly acidic and can damage the surface of the panels over time. Additionally, nests and debris can block airflow, causing panels to overheat and become less efficient.

Vermin such as squirrels and rodents can also cause damage by chewing through wires and other components of the solar panel system. This not only reduces efficiency but can also lead to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.

Enhanced Energy Production: Bird droppings and debris can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches your solar panels, thereby decreasing energy production.

By bird proofing your solar panels, you ensure that they remain clean and unobstructed, maximizing their efficiency and energy output.

Protecting your solar panels from birds and vermin helps extend their lifespan. Bird droppings are corrosive and can damage the panels’ surface, while vermin can chew through wires, leading to costly repairs.

Bird proofing prevents these issues, ensuring your panels last longer and perform better.

Reduce Costs

Regular cleaning and repairs caused by bird and vermin damage can add up over time.

By investing in bird proofing solutions, you reduce the need for frequent maintenance, saving money in the long run.

Improved Safety

Nests and debris can pose a fire hazard, especially if they block airflow and cause the panels to overheat. 

Vermin chewing through wires can also create electrical hazards. 

Bird proofing mitigates these risks, ensuring a safer solar panel system.

FAQ

Regular cleaning of solar panels ensures they operate at peak efficiency. Dirt, dust, bird droppings, and other debris can reduce the panels’ ability to absorb sunlight, leading to lower energy production.

 

To maintain a healthy energy output it is recommended to clean panels every quarter. However, if you live in a particularly dusty or polluted area, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. With our products & techniques this amount of maintenance is less necessary.

While it’s possible to clean solar panels yourself, it’s far safer and more effective to hire professionals. Our team uses specialised cleaning equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging the panels. At Solar Clean Lincs we like to keep things safe and operate from the ground, using cherry pickers & scaffolding for less accessible panels.

We use deionized water, specialised chemicals and soft-bristle brushes to clean the panels. We also have access to cleaning robots for industrial sites. Our technique & choice of cleaning products avoids the use of harsh/damaging chemicals and ensures a streak-free, spotless finish that lasts far longer. We also do not clean panels on the rooftop itself which can be quite dangerous or damaging to your roof – we only work from the ground, using cherry pickers or scaffolding when necessary.

No, professional cleaning will not void your warranty. In fact, many manufacturers recommend regular cleaning as part of maintenance to keep the warranty valid. It is also worth protecting your solar panels from vermin and birds to ensure longevity & efficiency. Companies who use unregulated chemicals can damage the panels and could indeed void your warranty.
