Solar panels are meant to add value to your home, not become homes for wildlife. Birds nesting amongst solar panels is a common problem. Possums and other rodents are also attracted to the high, secure shelter, panels provide. All these pests can cause an array of problems for your panels, including:

Animal soiling and carcases under the solar panels: Not only are their droppings and carcases a physical eyesore, they can give off a repugnant smell. Bird faeces are very corrosive and a build-up of their droppings can damage solar panels. If you live in and around Hobart, you'll be well aware of the number of birds and possums looking for a safe and secure structure to make their home.

Nesting litter: (branches, leaves, feathers etc), can restrict water run-off under the panels; causing downstream problems and clutter your gutters.

The build-up of nesting litter next to electrical equipment – solar panels – can create a serious fire hazard.

Damage wiring: as pests inhabit underneath your solar panels, their movements can disturb cabling. Nibbling on wires can also compromise panels and their effectiveness. The pheromones from birds and rodents can attract more pests to the panels, compounding the problems and inflicting further damage to your panels.
