Why Protect Your Solar Panels?
Stop Pigeons & Rodents
Birds and rodents love nesting beneath solar panels, causing damage to wiring and blocking airflow. A reliable bird mesh or skirt prevents these infestations.
Maintain Panel Efficiency
Nesting materials and droppings reduce airflow and can lead to overheating. Keeping your panels clear ensures optimum performance year-round.
Panel Cleaning Available

1. Why do pigeons and rodents nest under solar panels?
Birds and rodents seek shelter and warmth under panels, away from predators. Without proper mesh or skirting, your system becomes a prime nesting spot.
2. Does bird mesh affect my panel warranty?
No. We use non-invasive clips and MCS/NAPIT-compliant methods that won’t void warranties.
3. What’s the difference between bird mesh and a solar skirt?
• Bird mesh is a Steel wire barrier allowing airflow.
• A solar skirt is a solid metal panel that provides a more streamlined look.
Both protect against nesting and debris.

★★★★★Abraham Chavarin
Great Service! Reached out to Blue Ape for home battery only as I already have solar. Craig got back to me very quickly, answered all my questions, and drew up a report based on my current system. Very honest and didn’t try to upsell me a larger system than what I needed. Compared to other companies I contacted, Craig was willing to liaise via email and made an assessment of my situation. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Angela Rigby
I contacted Blue Ape Renewables when my inverter started showing error codes. Their technician was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through some troubleshooting steps over the phone. When that didn’t resolve the issue, they scheduled a visit promptly. The repair was done efficiently, and they even helped me set up better monitoring so I can keep an eye on my system’s performance. Excellent service from start to finish!
