professional Solar Panel Bird Proofing

Keep Birds Out. Protect Your Solar System.

Prevent birds from nesting beneath your solar panels with professionally installed VEXO SOLARGUARD® PRO.

This purpose-designed bird-proofing system creates a secure barrier around the perimeter of your solar array while maintaining airflow beneath the panels.

The Hidden Problem Beneath Your Panels

The sheltered space beneath solar panels can provide an ideal nesting area for birds.

Once birds move in, nesting material, feathers and droppings can accumulate around the system. This may lead to ongoing noise, hygiene problems, restricted airflow and potential damage to wiring or panel components.

Bird proofing helps protect the space beneath the array before the problem becomes more difficult and expensive to resolve.

Nesting and Debris

Help prevent birds from building nests and bringing leaves, twigs and other materials beneath the array.

Wiring and Component Protection

Reduce the risk of birds interfering with cables and equipment beneath the panels.

Cleaner Roof Environment

Help minimise ongoing droppings, odours, noise and nesting activity around the property.

Maintained Airflow

Prevent bird access without sealing the ventilation space beneath your solar panels.

Why We Use VEXO SOLARGUARD® PRO

Purpose-Built Protection. Not Generic Mesh.

WattWash installs VEXO SOLARGUARD PRO, a bird-proofing system designed specifically for rooftop solar arrays.

The system uses durable 304 stainless-steel mesh with a protective PVC coating. It is secured around the perimeter of the solar panels using dedicated fastening rods and locking discs that attach beneath the panel frame.

The finished barrier prevents birds from accessing the cavity beneath the panels while maintaining ventilation and preserving the appearance of the solar array.

How WattWash Installs It

Carefully Prepared. Professionally Finished.

1. Inspect

We assess the solar array, panel layout, roof access and any existing signs of bird activity.

2. Clear and Prepare

Accessible leaves, loose debris and nesting material are removed from beneath the panel cavity where required.

3. Install

The VEXO mesh is fitted around the perimeter and secured using purpose-designed fastening components.

4. Finish and Check

Corners, joins and obstacles are carefully sealed before the installation receives a final visual inspection.

The manufacturer’s guide requires regular fastening intervals, properly finished corners and sufficient overlap at the final join to create a continuous perimeter barrier.

Installation is subject to safe roof access and compatibility with the existing solar array.
