Bird Proofing Solutions

We offer two primary methods for bird-proofing solar panels: Galvanised Mesh Systems and Bird-Spiking Solutions, each available in drilling and non-drilling installation options.

Galvanised Mesh Systems

Our Professional Bird-Proofing Galvanised Mesh and Black PVC Coated Galvanised Mesh are highly durable and aesthetically pleasing options for preventing birds from nesting under solar panels. Both systems provide long-lasting protection and blend seamlessly with the solar panel setup.

We offer both drilling and non-drilling installation methods, depending on the property type and the regulatory requirements of your solar panel provider. Larger installations usually require professional drilling techniques, while smaller installations can benefit from less invasive Bird Proofing Clips. We will discuss each option with you during the initial assessment.

Bird Spiking Solutions

Solar panel bird proofing spikes from GoKill Pest Control are made of UV-stabilised polycarbonate and create a protective barrier around solar panels. They are installed using silicone to securely seal and prevent access by birds like pigeons, seagulls, rooks, and crows. This innovative solution effectively deters birds from nesting or roosting under solar panels without causing them harm.

The durable spikes enhance solar panel efficiency by preventing bird droppings and nesting debris, reducing costly maintenance. Our precision installations blend seamlessly with your property’s structure, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.

Regulatory Compliance and Authorisation Support

We understand the importance of ensuring that all bird-proofing measures align with the standards and regulations set by your solar panel provider. To guarantee that our work is fully compliant, we offer comprehensive RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statements) documentation for all our installations. This documentation can be forwarded to your solar panel company for review and authorisation before installation, ensuring that everything is approved and in accordance with their guidelines.

The importance of RAMS documents

Ensures Compliance with Manufacturer Guidelines: Our RAMS documents outline the step-by-step process and safety measures we take to ensure the bird-proofing installation meets your solar panel company’s requirements.
Smooth Authorisation Process: By providing your solar panel company with detailed RAMS documents, we facilitate a quick and seamless authorisation process, allowing you to proceed confidently.
Health and Safety Standards: The RAMS documents also cover all health and safety considerations, ensuring that the installation is carried out to protect both the workers and your property.

FAQs

GoKill’s solar panel bird-proofing service is a meticulously engineered, three-step process that comes with an industry-leading ten-year guarantee, ensuring long-lasting protection and performance. Before installation, we thoroughly consult you, outlining the complete procedure, including the most effective materials and methods tailored to your specific needs. This ensures clarity and optimal results from the outset.

Upon securing access, the first stage involves the removal of all birds and pests from beneath your solar panels, followed by a comprehensive cleaning of any nesting materials and debris. We take great care to clear as much as possible without compromising the integrity or performance of your panels. However, it is important to note that pigeon fouling, particularly when accumulated over time, can harden around wiring, and a pristine outcome may not always be achievable in such cases. Importantly, at no point in the process are the panels removed or lifted from their fixtures.

Our bird-proofing system involves installing a custom-made galvanised steel mesh designed to match the configuration of your solar panels and roof tiles. The mesh is securely affixed along the outer edges using our specialised, non-invasive solar panel proofing clips, which ensure a stable and durable attachment. Vertical tensioning of some prongs under the panels’ lips adds further stability, guaranteeing a robust and seamless fit. Our service is entirely drill-free, preventing any damage to your panels or roof. It is also backed by our comprehensive ten-year guarantee, demonstrating our confidence in the quality and effectiveness of our solution.

Our rates for bird-proofing solar panels are highly competitive, offering exceptional value for the professional-grade materials we use and the expertise of our technicians, each with over 20 years of experience. All materials are guaranteed to ensure durability, and our services are priced affordably to suit various budgets.

The cost of your solar panel bird-proofing will depend on several factors, which we will discuss with you beforehand. Most domestic installations can be completed using ladders, though ensuring your property’s and our engineers’ safety is our top priority. In cases where safety concerns arise, we may need to use additional access equipment such as scaffolding or a cherry picker. Our technicians are fully trained in Working at Height and Safe Use of Ladders, and many hold certifications for cherry picker and scaffolding use, especially for larger commercial properties.

We provide a comprehensive, one-stop solution that includes solar panel bird-proofing and additional services such as gutter clearance, spiking, solar panel cleaning, roof cleaning and the fitting of chimney cowls, all performed during a single visit.
