Bird deterrent for solar panels
Keep birds out from under your solar panels
Our bird deterrent is a sturdy brush strip that closes the gap between panel and roof. Birds can no longer get underneath, and the ventilation keeps working as normal. No drilling, no tools.

A small brush. A big difference.
Without a brush, the space under your panels is a dry, sheltered nesting spot. With the brush, that gap is closed, and air can still flow through.

See how to fit the brush along the edge of the panel. No drilling or screws, and a neat finish on your roof.
-
Clear the space
Remove leaves and old nesting material and measure the gap between roof tile and panel. If there's still a nest with young birds, wait until they have fledged.
-
Slide the brush underneath
Push the brush under the panel along the edge. It wedges itself in place, no drilling or screws.
-
Done, and air still flows
Birds can no longer get underneath and your panels stay ventilated. Too long? Bend the end over, don't cut the brush.
Only work on your roof if you can reach it safely. In doubt? Leave the fitting to an installer.
Why you want to close off that space
Under a solar panel it is dry, warm and sheltered. For pigeons and starlings that is the perfect place to nest, and for you it is the start of four problems.
-
Cables and connectors
Nesting material gets in between the cabling and the connectors. A chewed or pulled-loose cable causes a fault, and a technician on the roof costs more than a roll of brush.
-
Lower yield
Twigs, feathers and droppings trap the heat under the panel and dirty the glass. A panel that can't get rid of its heat produces less.
-
Fire risk
Dry nesting material against damaged wiring under a warm panel is a combination you don't want on your roof.
-
Nuisance and cleaning up
Scrabbling from sunrise, a gutter full of feathers and droppings on the walls. You may only remove a nest once there are no young left in it; prevention is always allowed.
Three diameters, that's all the choice there is
The brush needs to be slightly thicker than the gap between your roof tile and the panel, so it stays wedged in. Measure that gap and choose the matching size.

Frequently asked questions
Which diameter do I need?
Measure the gap between your roof tile and the underside of the panel. Choose a brush that is slightly thicker than that gap: it then wedges itself in and you don't need to fix anything. If in doubt, choose the larger size: too thick works, too thin doesn't.
Do I need to drill or screw?
No. The brush is wedged between the panels and the roof. You don't need any tools and you don't make any holes in your roof or your panels. So the warranty on your installation is unaffected too.
How many metres do I need?
Measure the sides of your panel array that are open. Usually that is the bottom edge and the two sides; the top often already sits against the ridge. Add those metres together and round up. If a roll is too long, you bend the end over. Do not cut the brush, because that damages it.
When will my order arrive?
