Solar Panel Bird Proofing in Worksop and Surrounding Areas
Solar panels are a valuable investment, but they also attract unwanted visitors. Pigeons and other birds often nest beneath panels, causing mess, noise and even long-term damage to your system. At Evolve Pest Control, we offer professional solar panel proofing to prevent birds from accessing this space, keeping your roof clean and your panels performing at their best.
We install discreet, durable mesh around your panels using specialist fittings that require no drilling, ensuring full protection without affecting your warranty.
Why Solar Proofing Matters
Birds see the sheltered space beneath solar panels as an ideal nesting site. Once they settle in, you may notice:
- Persistent noise from cooing, scratching or flapping
- Accumulation of droppings, feathers and debris
- Nesting materials blocking gutters or damaging roof tiles
- Damaged wiring or fire risk due to pecking
- A gradual decline in panel efficiency
- Unpleasant smells or hygiene issues
Our proofing service helps you avoid costly repairs and maintain the lifespan of your solar system.

1. Contact Us
Get in touch to book a free site inspection. We will discuss your concerns and arrange a convenient time to assess the property.
2. Inspection
Our technician will safely inspect your solar panel setup and check for signs of bird activity, access points and any damage that has already occurred.
3. Install
We install strong galvanised or stainless steel mesh using professional-grade clips. These secure the mesh to the panels without drilling or damaging any part of the system.

Before fitting the mesh, we remove all droppings, nests and debris. We then offer advice to help keep the area clean and reduce the chance of birds returning.
Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Proofing
Will this damage my panels or roof?
No. We use a clip-on system that attaches securely to the panel frames without the need for drilling. It is safe, non-invasive and will not affect your warranty.
How long does the mesh last?
Our mesh is made from weather-resistant materials such as galvanised or stainless steel. When installed properly, it can last more than ten years without issue.
Do I need to clean under the panels first?
Yes. We always carry out a thorough clean before installing the mesh. This includes removing droppings, nesting material and any existing debris to ensure a clean surface.
What if birds are already nesting?
We follow all wildlife protection laws. If active nests are present, we may need to delay the installation until nesting season is over. We will provide clear advice based on what we find.
Can I install this myself?
We advise using a professional service. Working at height can be dangerous without the right equipment, and incorrect installation may lead to ineffective results or even damage.
