Protect Your Solar Investment and Keep Birds Off Your Roof

Solar panels are a smart investment, helping you save on energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint. But those same panels can unintentionally become a cozy spot for birds to nest, roost, and make a mess. Birds under your panels leave droppings, spread debris, and can even damage wiring or reduce panel efficiency. At YYC Pest Control, we help homeowners in Chestermere protect their solar systems with effective bird-proofing solutions that stop birds from nesting and keep your panels operating smoothly.

Why Bird Proofing Your Solar Panels Matters

Birds—especially pigeons, starlings and sparrows are naturally attracted to the shaded gap beneath solar panels. Without protection, this sheltered space becomes an ideal nesting site. That can lead to problems such as:

Build nests that reduce panel efficiency

Leave corrosive droppings that stain and erode

Cause damage to wires and connections

Attract mites, bugs, and more pests

Prevention is more affordable than repairs or system replacement.

Our Solar Panel Bird Proofing Process

  • Assessment of Your Property

  • Installation of Exclusion Barriers

  • Cleanup & Sanitation (If Needed)

  • Long-Term Protection

We begin with an on-site inspection of your solar array and roofline to find spots where birds are getting underneath panels or trying to nest.

Using discreet, weather-resistant mesh or barrier systems, we block birds from entering spaces under your panels. These barriers keep birds out without affecting airflow or panel performance.

If birds have already nested and left droppings or debris, we can safely remove nests and sanitize the area so your panels and roof stay clean and safe.

Our bird-proofing solutions are built to last and help prevent future nesting. We can also advise on ongoing maintenance to keep your array protected season after season.
