Frequently Asked Questions – Solar Bird Proofing

Birds nesting under solar panels can cause damage, noise, droppings, and fire risks. At Kinetix Solar, we specialise in professional bird proofing solutions from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. Below, we answer the most common questions homeowners ask.

  • Solar panels create a warm, sheltered space that’s ideal for birds like pigeons and mynas to build nests. Unfortunately, this leads to mess, noise, and potential damage.

  • Birds can damage wiring, dislodge panels, and leave corrosive droppings that reduce solar efficiency. Nests also pose a fire hazard and attract lice and other pests.

  • We install high-grade mesh barriers around the edges of your solar panels to block bird entry. The mesh is UV-resistant, rustproof, and fitted without drilling into your roof or panels.

  • Not at all. Our mesh sits underneath the panel edges, leaving full exposure to sunlight and no interference with performance.

  • In most cases, no. Our mesh is low-profile and designed to blend with your roofline, making it nearly invisible from ground level.

  • Yes — before installing bird proofing, we remove nests, droppings, and debris, and offer an optional solar panel clean at the same time.

  • Yes. Our installations are designed to last 10+ years, using corrosion-resistant mesh and secure clips that withstand harsh weather.

  • No — once installed properly, birds can’t access the space under your panels again. We also check for any other roof entry points while on-site.

  • Most jobs are completed in 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of panels and roof height.

  • Yes — we service all suburbs across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and surrounding areas.
