Why do pigeons nest under solar panels?
The space under your panels is warm, dry, and hidden. That makes it a favorite nesting spot for pigeons.
Once they move in, they leave droppings, debris, and feathers. They peck at the wires too. The mess builds up fast and starts to hurt your system.
Here in Bakersfield and across Kern County, this is a common problem. If you have solar panels and a pool or other water source nearby, we can almost promise you have birds nesting under them.
What problems does this cause my solar system?
There are four hazards we fix and remove with our solar panel pest solutions. Left alone, they get expensive.
- Squirrels that chew wiring and damage your electrical system
- Damaged wiring that turns into a fire hazard
- Pigeons nesting underneath, which is a health risk and hurts your property
- Leaves and debris trapped under the panels, which can cause roof damage and rot
How does ExcludeTech pest proof solar panels?
We do more than scare a few birds off. We use a full plan to clear the pests out and seal the gap so they cannot get back under. We are a certified Bird-B-Gone installer, so the barrier is built to last. Here is how it works, step by step.
- Free inspection. We take a close look at your panels and roof. We find where birds and pests get under.
- Removal. We clear out the birds, nests, and debris in a safe, humane way.
- Install the barrier. We fit a clean, strong barrier around your panels so pests cannot get under them.

- Prevention. We make sure the barrier is solid and back the job with our satisfaction guarantee.
Is solar panel pest proofing worth it?
Your solar system is built to last 20 to 25 years. Adding a protective barrier now gives you peace of mind for the life of the system.
The barrier does more than block pests. It hides the messy wires and adds curb appeal to your roof. It is far cheaper than fixing chewed wiring or a rotted roof later.
Even if you do not have birds yet, the barrier looks great, protects your panels, and adds value.
- Keeps pigeons and squirrels out from under the panels
- Protects your wiring from chewing and fire risk
- Stops leaves and debris from rotting your roof
- Hides unsightly wires and boosts curb appeal
