Panel-safe fitting
Blocks nesting access
Cleaner roofline
Fully insured
A warm, sheltered home for pigeons.
The gap under a solar array gives pigeons shade, shelter and protection from the weather. Once they settle in, nests, feathers and droppings can quickly build up around the panels and roofline.
That mess creates hygiene concerns, can block nearby gutters and adds regular scratching, movement and cooing directly above your ceiling—often early in the morning or through the night.
- Droppings and nesting debris around the roof
- Scratching and noise that can keep you awake
- Blocked gutters and water-flow problems
- Dirty panel surfaces and difficult maintenance
WHY install bird mesh?
A simple barrier. Long-term relief.
We understand how important it is to maintain the efficiency and cleanliness of your solar panels while keeping your roof free from pesky pigeons.
Stops nesting access
Purpose-fitted mesh closes the sheltered gap beneath the solar panels where pigeons commonly roost and build nests.
Improves roof hygiene
Keeping birds out helps reduce droppings, feathers, nesting material and the mess that can wash into nearby gutters.
Quieter mornings and nights
Pigeons moving, cooing and scratching beneath panels can disturb your sleep. Blocking access removes the sheltered nesting space.
Keeps panels clearer
Less bird activity around the array means less droppings and debris collecting on panel surfaces and around their edges.
neat, purpose-fitted protection
Mesh that guards the gap - not the panel.
We fit a strong mesh barrier around the outside edge of the solar array, closing off access beneath the panels while leaving the glass surface exposed to the sun.
Neat protection around every edge.
Solar panel bird proofing in Perth: what to know
Pigeons under solar panels are one of the most common roof problems we see across Perth. Here’s why it happens, how to tell if you have birds, and how bird proofing stops it.
Why pigeons nest under solar panels
Feral pigeons are found right across the Perth metro area. The gap between your panels and the roof is shaded in summer, sheltered from wind and rain, and safe from predators. It’s a perfect nesting spot. Once a pair settles in, they keep coming back, and more birds often follow.
Signs you have birds under your panels
- Cooing, scratching or flapping above the ceiling, often early in the morning
- Droppings on the panels, roof, gutters, windows or driveway
- Feathers, twigs or nesting material poking out from under the panels
- Pigeons landing on the roof or sitting on the edge of the panels
- Blocked gutters or downpipes near the solar array
- Solar output dropping, with droppings on the panel surface
How our bird proofing works
We clear accessible nesting material from around the array. Then we fit black galvanised mesh around the full outside edge of the panels to close the gap, without drilling into the panels. The mesh sits around the edge, not over the glass, so your panels still get full sun.
Every installation includes a free solar panel clean worth up to $299, so you start with clean panels and a sealed array.
How much does solar panel bird proofing cost?
The price depends on how many panels you have, how they’re laid out, and whether your home is single or double-storey. Fill in the quote form with your panel count and storeys and we’ll send you a price. There’s no obligation, and the free solar panel clean is included.
Mesh vs spikes and other deterrents
Spikes, fake owls and reflective tape may stop birds landing on some surfaces, but they don’t block the gap under the panels, which is where pigeons nest. Mesh closes that gap physically, so birds can’t get underneath.
Is bird mesh safe for the birds?
Yes. Mesh is an exclusion barrier. It keeps birds out but doesn’t harm them. We clear accessible nests before we fit the mesh, so birds aren’t sealed in underneath.
Where we install bird mesh
We install solar panel bird proofing across Greater Perth, including the northern coastal suburbs from Yanchep to Sorrento, and south from Kwinana to Rockingham and Mandurah.

Common customer questions
Quick answers about booking, pricing and how we work.
The mesh forms a barrier around the outside of the solar array to help stop pigeons getting underneath and nesting.
Yes. A solar-panel clean is currently included with every bird-mesh installation, with a stated value of up to $299.
Nests, droppings and organic debris can create noise, unpleasant smells and hygiene concerns while allowing mess to build up around the array.
No. It is installed around the panel perimeter as a barrier and does not cover the working face of the solar panels.
