Why birds like solar panels
The space under a solar array can provide shelter from wind and weather. If birds start nesting under the panels, debris can build up and make the roof harder to maintain.
What bird guard mesh does
Bird guard mesh is fitted around the edge of the solar array to block access under the panels while still allowing airflow. It is a practical preventative measure, especially on roofs where birds are already active nearby.
- Helps reduce nesting under the panels.
- Protects the roof space under the array from debris.
- Keeps airflow around the panels.
- Can make future roof and panel maintenance more straightforward.
Fitted as part of the installation
E-Fix fits bird guard mesh as standard on solar panel installations, rather than treating it as an afterthought. The edge detail is planned with the panel layout and roof access.
