Solar Mesh on the rooftop array, bird systems on the build.

Solar arrays attract bird nesting underneath panels. Bird droppings, nesting material, and chewed wiring create maintenance and fire risk over time. AvePro Solar Mesh excludes birds from the array without compromising panel access for maintenance.

For residential bird management beyond solar, AvePro Bird Spikes and BirdWire address ledges, signage, and exposed perimeters. The residential netting range handles full physical exclusion on courtyards, eaves, and architectural openings. The Free Design Service maps the system mix against the residential build.

Residential & Solar Frequently Asked Questions

Why is bird exclusion on rooftop solar arrays important?

Birds nest underneath solar panels, creating bird droppings, nesting material, chewed wiring, and fire risk over time. AvePro Solar Mesh excludes birds from the array without compromising panel access for maintenance. Used on residential, commercial, and agribusiness solar installations.

Does AvePro Solar Mesh need to be removed for solar panel cleaning?

No. Solar Mesh is designed to allow panel access for cleaning and maintenance without removal. The mesh fixes around the panel perimeter and stays in place across the system lifecycle.

Can residential property owners install AvePro spikes themselves?

AvePro spikes can be installed by competent property owners on simple ledges. For complex installs (height work, large areas, signage), Approved Installer pesties handle the work. The Pestie's Substrate and Fixing Decision Card maps fixing options for residential substrates.

What is the lawful approach to bird damage on a residential property?

Most Australian birds are protected. The lawful program is exclusion (netting, spikes, BirdWire, Solar Mesh) and deterrence (Eagle Eye visual deterrents). Lethal action is generally not lawful. Pest IT supplies the state-by-state status.

Does AvePro Solar Mesh affect solar panel performance?

No. Solar Mesh fixes around the panel perimeter, not across the panel face. Panel performance is unchanged. Maintenance access is preserved.

How do solar installers and pesties cooperate on rooftop bird exclusion?

Solar installers handle the panel install. Pesties handle the Solar Mesh install around the panel perimeter. The two trades coordinate timing during install or commission. The Free Design Service supports both trades with the documentation set and timing schedule.
