Bird Abatement Services

Birds can be a significant problem for properties with solar panel installations. They often nest among the panels which results in obstructions and cause damage that can reduce the efficiency of your solar energy system. Bird droppings also accumulate on solar panels which significantly decrease the performance of your solar panels by blocking sunlight and creating a need for frequent cleanings. At Eco Solar Cleaning, we recognize the importance of addressing bird infestations promptly and effectively. Our professional bird abatement services are designed to eliminate these issues to ensure your solar panels remain clean and efficient.

Why Bird Abatement is Essential for Solar Panels

Nesting Issues: Birds often find solar panels to be an ideal nesting spot due to the shelter they provide. These nests can obstruct airflow and even damage the wiring of the panels which can lead to costly repairs and decreased efficiency.


Droppings Damage: Bird droppings are unsightly and acidic. The bird waste buildup can cause long-term damage to solar panels because it can corrode the solar panel framing over time. The droppings also block sunlight which reduces the panels' ability to generate energy. This increases the frequency of cleaning needed to maintain optimal performance.


Health Risks: Birds can carry diseases and parasites that pose health risks to humans. A bird infestation can lead to the contamination of the area where your solar array is stored and result in the spread of harmful pathogens.

Signs You Need Bird Abatement Services

Visible Nests: One of the most obvious signs of a bird problem is the presence of nests around your solar panels. These nests can cause physical damage and increase the need for regular maintenance.


Accumulation of Droppings: If you notice a significant amount of bird droppings on or around your solar panels, it is a clear indicator that birds are frequenting the area and could be nesting nearby.


Frequent Bird Sightings and Noises: Hearing constant bird calls or seeing birds regularly around your solar installation is a good sign that you need professional abatement services.

Our Comprehensive Bird Abatement Process

Inspection: We start with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the extent of bird activity. Our experts will locate nests, droppings, and potential entry points to develop a comprehensive abatement plan.


Identification: Understanding the type of birds in your area and their behavior is crucial for effective abatement. We identify the species to tailor our approach and ensure the most effective solutions.


Customized Plan: Based on the inspection and identification, we develop a customized abatement plan that addresses your specific issues. This plan will include the methods and tools needed to stop birds from accessing your property and prevent future infestations.

Bird Abatement Strategies

Physical Barriers: We use physical barriers like bird spikes, netting, and mesh to prevent birds from accessing the areas around your solar panels. These barriers are effective in stopping birds from nesting and causing damage.


Deterrents: Visual and auditory deterrents are deployed to scare birds away from your property. These deterrents are designed to create an environment that is unappealing to birds to reduce the likelihood of them returning.



Sanitation: We provide cleaning and maintenance services to remove existing nests and droppings. Regular sanitation helps maintain the efficiency of your solar panels and prevents future infestations.
