    Professional Solar Panel Bird Proofing You Can Rely On

    Birds nesting under solar panels is a common problem in the Illawarra. The gap between the panels and the roof provides a warm, sheltered space that birds find attractive for nesting and roosting. Nesting material, droppings and bird activity can cause damage to wiring and reduce the performance of your system.

    ClearView Exterior Services installs durable bird proofing mesh around the edges of your solar panels to prevent birds and pests from accessing the gap underneath. The mesh is a humane exclusion method — it keeps birds out without trapping or harming them.

    We assess the panel array, access and roof condition first. Most standard residential and commercial systems are suitable for bird proofing. The mesh is designed to be discreet and in most cases is not visible from ground level.

    “Noah and the team from ClearView completed a roof clean of our house in June 2025 and did an awesome job. Took over 10 years worth of accumulated dirt and moss off the roof and gutters. House looks brand new. Could not recommend these guys highly enough, will get them back again for sure.”

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is solar panel bird proofing?

    Bird proofing involves installing a durable mesh around the edges of your solar panels to prevent birds and pests from accessing the gap underneath. This stops birds from nesting, roosting and causing damage to the panels and wiring.

    Why do birds go under solar panels?

    The gap between the panels and the roof provides a warm, sheltered space that birds find attractive for nesting and roosting. This can lead to droppings, nesting material and potential damage to wiring.

    Is the mesh visible from the ground?

    The mesh is installed around the panel edges and is designed to be discreet. In most cases, it's not visible from ground level.

    Does bird proofing harm the birds?

    No. The mesh is a humane exclusion method — it prevents birds from accessing the area underneath the panels without trapping or harming them. Birds are simply excluded from the space.

    Can you install bird proofing on any solar panel system?

    We assess the panel array, access and roof condition first. Most standard residential and commercial systems are suitable for bird proofing. If access is unsafe or the system isn't suitable, we'll let you know.

    Can you clean the panels and install bird proofing at the same time?

    Yes. If you need both cleaning and bird proofing, we can assess and quote for both services together. It's often more efficient to do both at the same time.

    What areas do you service for solar panel bird proofing?

    We service Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Albion Park, Dapto, Figtree, Thirroul and the wider Illawarra. Call to discuss availability for Southern Highlands, Nowra and Campbelltown.
