Installing pigeon wiring around your solar panels can help protect your system from damage caused by birds, particularly pigeons. Here’s why it’s a good idea:
- Prevents Nesting: Pigeons love to nest under solar panels, which can cause a variety of issues. The wiring creates a barrier that makes it harder for birds to settle there.
- Protects Your Panels: Bird droppings can be very corrosive, and over time, they can damage the panels or the wiring beneath them. Having pigeon wiring in place reduces the likelihood of birds roosting on or under your panels, which helps to prevent this kind of damage.
- Minimizes Blocked Drainage: Birds often bring twigs, leaves, and other debris into their nests. If this gets trapped under your solar panels, it can obstruct the drainage system or cause moisture buildup, which may lead to further damage.
- Reduces the Risk of Electrical Issues: Pigeons can sometimes chew on the wiring beneath your panels, which could potentially lead to electrical issues. The wiring acts as a physical deterrent to prevent this.
- Helps Maintain Efficiency: If birds build nests under your panels, their droppings can block sunlight, reducing the efficiency of your solar system. By deterring them with pigeon wiring, you can maintain the panels’ efficiency and energy output.
