How to Install BirdBlocker: The Ultimate Solution to Protect Your Solar Panels from Birds

Are you tired of birds nesting under your solar panels, causing damage and reducing their efficiency? BirdBlocker is here to offer a reliable and humane solution to keep these feathered intruders at bay. Our innovative product not only safeguards your solar panels but also ensures the welfare of birds. In this detailed post, we'll guide you through the importance of bird proofing your solar panels and provide a step-by-step installation guide for BirdBlocker.

Why Bird Proofing Your Solar Panels is Essential

Bird droppings and nesting materials can significantly harm your solar panels. These not only look unsightly but can also lead to serious damage, reducing the efficiency of your panels. The combination of flammable nesting materials, high temperatures, and potential damage from birds creates a serious fire hazard. Moreover, it affects your living comfort and poses risks to animal welfare. Protecting your solar investment with BirdBlocker ensures optimal performance and longevity of your panels.

Installing BirdBlocker: A Sound Investment

Installing BirdBlocker alongside your new solar panels is not only cost-effective but also provides peace of mind, knowing that birds will not nest under your panels. We recommend installing BirdBlocker immediately upon the installation of your new panels for the best results.

Installation Guide

• Preparation: BirdBlocker is compatible with 95% of conventional panels and sub-constructions. Unfortunately, plug-in systems are not suitable. Ensure your panels have a flat bottom section for the assembly with the provided clips.
• Determining Quantity: Measure the perimeter of your panel set to determine the number of BirdBlocker strips required.
• Assembly: The great news is that panels do not need to be removed for BirdBlocker installation. You'll receive at least 7 specially developed clips per meter of BirdBlocker. It's important to note that these clips are not symmetrical; the logo should be visible on the black strip when correctly installed. BirdBlocker strips can be easily cut to size with large scissors or wire cutters. For a perfect fit, especially at corners, miter cuts are recommended.

Attention to Bird Welfare

It's crucial to respect bird welfare during installation. Official regulations prohibit the removal of nests during certain periods. We advise checking your local rules and regulations regarding nest removal.

Retrofitting BirdBlocker

If birds have already nested under your panels, BirdBlocker can still offer a solution, although additional steps and precautions, such as proper fall protection, may be necessary.

Safety First

Always prioritize safety during installation, especially when working at heights. Ensure proper fall protection measures are in place, and avoid working in windy conditions.
