A sheltered spot for birds. A mess for your roof.
The gap under a solar array can attract nesting birds. Nesting material and droppings can build up beneath the panels and around the roof.
Solar panel meshing creates a perimeter barrier to help prevent birds getting into that sheltered space. The mesh needs to suit your array layout, roof contours and fixing method — it’s a fitted installation, not simply a roll laid around the panels.
A clear scope
What your quoted service includes
- Check roof access, array layout and the proposed mesh perimeter.
- Check for signs of nesting and visible concerns around the work area.
- Remove accessible, unoccupied nesting material and loose debris within the agreed scope.
- Fit a mesh barrier around the agreed array perimeter.
- Use a fixing method confirmed as suitable for the actual panels and mesh system.
- Check corners, edges and fixings.
- Tidy the work area and provide before and after photos.
Panel washing, gutter cleaning, extensive contamination removal, difficult access and any repairs are assessed and quoted separately.
We confirm whether the layout and access allow a complete perimeter barrier before agreeing to the work. Any limitations are explained in the scope; open sections are not described as fully bird-proofed.

We confirm the scope and price.
We assess the layout, roof height, access and any existing nesting. Where needed, we arrange a site assessment.
We fit the mesh and show you the result.
The agreed work is completed and the finished installation is photographed.

Useful answers
Questions about bird proofing?
A few things to know about pigeon proofing solar panels.
A single-storey home with up to 24 panels starts at $299–$379. Two-storey homes add $75, and 25–45 panels add $125 — so a two-storey home with 25–45 panels starts at $499–$579. Three-storey homes and systems over 45 panels are priced after a quick review. The mesh perimeter, separate panel groups, access and agreed cleanup can affect the final figure, which we confirm before you book.
Tell us what you’ve noticed. Active birds, eggs or occupied nests must be assessed before work begins. We do not trap birds behind mesh. Accessible, unoccupied nesting material can be removed within the agreed scope; other cleanup or specialist help is assessed separately.
We do not drill into or modify solar modules. The fixing method must be checked against the actual module frame, mounting arrangement, mesh system and manufacturer instructions. We confirm a suitable approach before agreeing to the installation.
Compatibility needs to be checked for your actual panels and mounting arrangement against the manufacturer’s instructions and warranty conditions. We cannot make a blanket “warranty safe” promise or assume the same clips suit every panel brand.
Yes. Select solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning or both in your quote request. They can be assessed and quoted alongside meshing where suitable. Cleaning is optional and is not automatically included.
Two-storey homes can be assessed for this service. Roof height, safe access and the array layout need to be checked before we confirm that the work can proceed and provide a price.
That’s fine. Leave the panel-count field blank or choose “Not sure”. A photo taken from a safe position can help us understand the layout. You do not need to climb onto the roof or measure the panels to enquire.
Birds nesting under an array leave droppings, feathers and nesting material on the roof and panel surfaces. Build-up can block gutters and roof drainage, and droppings on the glass reduce the light reaching the cells. We photograph what we find so you can see the condition of your own array.
The mesh is fitted around the perimeter of the array, between the panel edge and the roof — not over the glass — so it is not designed to shade the panels.
Accessible, unoccupied nesting material and loose debris can be removed from under the array within the agreed scope before the mesh is fitted. Heavy build-up or areas we cannot safely reach are assessed and quoted separately.
We service Greater Sydney, including South West Sydney, Macarthur and Campbelltown, Western Sydney, the Hills District, the North Shore, Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, St George and the Sutherland Shire. Enter your suburb in the quote form and we will confirm.
It depends on the layout, roof access, mesh perimeter and agreed cleanup. We discuss the expected duration and scheduling after assessing your job, before you book.
