Pigeons are naturally drawn to rooftops and solar panels because they provide the perfect environment for nesting and shelter. The elevated position of a roof offers safety from predators, while the space beneath solar panels creates a warm, shaded, and secure area, ideal for nesting and raising their young. Additionally, solar panels often retain heat, making them even more attractive to birds seeking warmth. The availability of nearby food sources, outdoor dining areas, unsecured waste bins, and any neighbours that feed birds regularly can further encourage pigeons to settle in the area. Once a few pigeons establish a nesting site, others are likely to follow, leading to a larger infestation over time. This can result in ongoing issues such as noise, mess, and damage to your solar panels and roof. Understanding why pigeons choose to nest under solar panels is the first step in effectively addressing the problem and protecting both your investment and your home.

Maintaining clean solar panels is essential for optimal performance. Even without pigeon droppings, dust particles and pollen can accumulate and gradually reduce efficiency, leading to lost energy savings over time. Furthermore, dirt and pollen that builds up on the surface of your panels can lead to hotspots, reducing energy efficiency and potentially causing long-term damage. These hotspots create areas of excessive heat that can stress the panel materials, leading to micro-cracks and a shortened lifespan. Regular cleaning and maintenance are key to preventing these issues and ensuring optimal performance over time. While rain or a simple hose wash might remove some surface debris, they fail to remove the stubborn buildup of dust on your solar panels. Our professional solar cleaning services ensure that your panels are completely free of dust, bird droppings, dirt, and lichen—boosting efficiency, saving you money, and extending the longevity of your system.

Nesting pigeons are becoming a growing concern for homeowners with solar panels.

By proactively protecting your panels, you maintain a cleaner home environment and ensure your solar system continues to perform at its best.

In most cases, a solar panel cleaning every 12 months is sufficient. However, depending on environmental factors, professional cleaning may be recommended every 6 to 24 months. Factors Affecting Cleaning Frequency: Location: Panels in urban or dusty areas may require more frequent cleaning. Environmental Factors: Proximity to trees, the ocean, or heavy dust can impact cleanliness. Nearby Construction: Dust and pollutants from construction sites can settle on panels. Panel Age: Older, textured panels may need cleaning more often than newer, smoother models. Considering these factors will help maximize your solar panel efficiency. We offer a free assessment to recommend the ideal cleaning schedule for your system.
