Pigeon Cleaning
What the service is
Our specialized service focuses on the removal of pigeon infestations from your solar panel installations and high-quality, durable pigeon fencing to prevent their return. We address all aspects of pigeon-related issues, including the safe and thorough cleaning of nests, droppings, and any associated debris from your solar arrays and surrounding areas. Our highly trained technicians then install premium-grade, weather-resistant, and UV-stabilized mesh fencing or critter guards specifically designed for solar panel applications. This creates an impenetrable barrier that denies pigeons access to the underside of your panels, their preferred nesting spot, without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of your solar system.
Why it's important
Pigeons nesting under solar panels can lead to a surprising number of problems, making professional control essential. Their droppings are highly acidic and can corrode roofing materials, racking systems, and even the surface of the solar panels themselves, potentially reducing their efficiency and lifespan. Accumulated nesting materials and guano can create fire hazards and block airflow, leading to panel overheating and further decreased performance. Furthermore, pigeon waste harbors various pathogens and parasites, posing health risks to anyone near the installation. By preventing pigeons from accessing these areas, you protect your investment, maintain optimal energy production, ensure the longevity of your solar system and roofing, and safeguard the health of your household or business environment.
How we do it
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your solar panel array and the surrounding roof area to assess the extent of the infestation and identify all nesting sites and access points. Our certified technicians then meticulously clean the affected areas using industry-approved, environmentally safe cleaning agents and specialized equipment to remove droppings and debris, ensuring no harmful residues are left behind. Following the cleaning, we install top-tier pigeon fencing. This typically involves using a strong, galvanized steel mesh for maximum durability and rust prevention. The mesh is secured using specialized, non-penetrating clips and fasteners that attach to the solar panel frames without voiding panel warranties. This creates a robust and discreet barrier that effectively excludes pigeons while allowing for proper ventilation and drainage, ensuring the continued optimal performance and protection of your solar energy system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at pgnpros@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Pigeons are drawn to the sheltered, elevated spaces underneath solar panels. These areas offer protection from predators and the elements, making them ideal nesting and roosting sites. They often have access to nearby pools and trash making your roof a Hilton for pigeons
No, the pigeon fencing we install is a humane deterrent. It is designed to safely exclude pigeons from the area underneath your solar panels without trapping or harming them. The mesh creates a physical barrier they cannot penetrate, when they realize they can't return to their home they'll find a different location to nest. It takes up to two weeks for them to fully leave your home after installation.
For an average residential solar panel system, the cleaning and installation process can typically be completed within one day. Larger or more complex commercial installations may take longer. We strive to complete the work efficiently while ensuring the highest quality standards.
Our technicians use industry-best practices and specialized, non-penetrating fastening systems designed specifically for solar panel installations. These methods secure the fencing to the panel frames or racking system without drilling or making modifications that would typically void manufacturer warranties. We always recommend confirming with your solar panel installer or manufacturer if you have specific warranty concerns.
