Frequently Asked Questions

How does bird netting affect solar panel maintenance?

Bird netting is designed to allow for easy access to your solar panels for maintenance. When installed correctly, the netting can be detached at certain points, enabling technicians to perform any necessary maintenance or cleaning. The design ensures that the netting does not interfere with the functioning or maintenance of the solar panels while providing maximum protection against birds.

Can I install bird proofing netting myself?

While it is possible for individuals to install bird proofing netting themselves, it is highly recommended that you seek professional installation. Incorrect installation can lead to inadequate protection, potential damage to your solar panels, or harm to the birds. Professionals have the right tools and expertise to ensure that the netting is installed safely and effectively, providing optimal protection for your solar investment.

How long does the bird proofing netting last?

Our bird proofing netting is made from high-grade, UV-stabilised materials designed to withstand the elements and resist degradation from solar exposure. With proper installation, the netting can last for several years, typically around 5-10 years, depending on environmental conditions. It’s a long-term solution that offers enduring protection for your solar panels.

Is it safe for the birds?

Yes, the bird proofing netting is safe for birds. It acts as a humane deterrent, preventing birds from accessing and nesting under the solar panels without causing them harm. The netting is designed to prevent birds from becoming entangled and is a non-lethal method for managing bird populations around solar installations.

Do I need to do anything after it is installed?

After the bird proofing netting is installed, there is minimal maintenance required on your part. It’s advisable to periodically inspect the netting to ensure it remains secure and intact, especially after severe weather conditions. If you notice any damage or dislodging, contact your pest control professionals for an assessment. Regular checks will ensure the netting continues to provide effective protection over time.
