Bird Repelling – Photovoltaic Panels
In the last 10-15 years, photovoltaics have been used in tiled roofs.
The performance of photovoltaic panels determines the payback time and overall return of investment.
Anything that reduces their performance reduces the profit.
In the case of photovoltaic panels on roofs and especially in tile roofs, dozens of owner experience the following problem: The pigeons nest in the gap of 10-20 cm between the panels and the tiles.
The consequences are many.
With their feces, they create an outbreak of pollution which with the help of rain falls into the balconies and the yard.
Feces can clog the drainage pipes and cause damage and humidity.
Their presence under the panels means also a strong presence over the panels as well as throughout the building. Their droppings cause stains and shading on the panels as well as debris and degradation throughout the building.
A nuisance is caused by their cries
Owners usually try in many different ways to repel birds which are expensive and unsuccessful most of the times.
Using special bases of our own design, we stabilize on the panels (without drilling on them), galvanized steel mesh, where the side openings are hermetically sealed and the pigeons can not enter.
The grid is shaped to cover the “shape” of the tiles and leaves no margin for the pigeons to enter under the panels.
We also have special removable stainless steel spikes, which stabilize on the side of the panels, covering the changing space up to the tiles, with one simple move(up to 20cm).
