Solar Bird Proofing · Sutherland Shire
Solar Panel Bird Proofing in the Sutherland Shire
Search for bird proofing in the Shire and you will mostly find pest controllers. That work suits ledges and signs, but pigeons under solar panels need a different fix: the gap has to be cleared, cleaned and closed without harming the panels. That is all we do on these jobs.

Local knowledge
What’s different about solar bird proofing in Sutherland Shire
Solar proofing is not general bird control
Spikes and deterrents stop birds perching on ledges, but they do not stop pigeons walking under a panel. What works is clearing the nests and fitting mesh around every open edge of the array, fixed to the panel frames so nothing is drilled.
Salt air and mesh
Homes near Cronulla and the bays get salty air, which is hard on cheap metal. We fit stainless steel mesh with no-drill clips, and the work is covered by a written warranty.
Native birds near the national parks
With the Royal and Heathcote national parks so close, the Shire has plenty of native birds, and they are protected in NSW. We check what is nesting before we start. If it is a native species, we stop and tell you. We only exclude feral pigeons, and we never trap or kill birds.

Solar Bird Proofing + Roof Cleaning
Droppings from a long-term nest often streak the roof below the panels, so a soft wash of the roof after proofing clears the last of the mess.

Questions
Solar Bird Proofing in Sutherland Shire: questions
Something else? Call 0468 070 392 or ask in the quote form.
Would a pest controller's spikes do the same job?
Not for solar panels. Spikes stop birds landing on ledges and beams, but pigeons get under panels by walking in from the side. Mesh around the panel edge is what closes that gap.
Is it safe to pull the nests out myself?
We would not recommend it. Dried droppings can carry disease, and SolarQuotes has reported a solar worker who became ill after contact with them. Climbing onto the roof is a fall risk too. We wear masks and use safe access.
What do I get when the job is done?
A photo and video report showing the nests removed, the cleaned area, the washed panels and the mesh fitted around each edge. You also get a written warranty on the work.
