When should you have this installed on your system?
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Once birds begin nesting under your system it is extremely difficult to remove the birds entirely. It can be done of course and sometimes they leave rather quickly, but often more tools such as owls, spikes, glue and extra bird wire will be needed. 

Why do birds nest under panels?

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Once birds begin nesting under your system it is extremely difficult to remove the birds entirely. It can be done of course and sometimes they leave rather quickly, but often more tools such as owls, spikes, glue and extra bird wire will be needed. They nest under solar panels because of the shade and the protection the panels offer from larger predator birds. 

What are the risks of not installing the solar mesh?

We have had customers who called wanting solar mesh installed because the birds damaged the wires from their nesting. They lost a massive amount of energy as a result and it took a long time to get the solar company out to their house.  Not only do you risk having the birds damage your system, but the amount of bird dropping accumulation can be egregious. Often times the piles will grow so large that the material falls on the ground. Bird droppings carry countless diseases and as they accumulate on the ground, the risk of small children, pets and even grown adults getting sick increases significantly.
