PROOFING SYSTEMS THAT DON'T INTERFERE WITH PERFORMANCE
Pest activity under solar panels can lead to serious issues, from electrical faults to insulation damage. At Rapid Response Pest Control, we start with a detailed inspection and cleaning of the panels and surrounding roof to remove existing debris and identify any signs of nesting. Once the area is cleared, we fit discreet bird mesh or stainless-steel clips around the perimeter of the panels. These barriers block access without interfering with solar performance or causing damage to the structure beneath.
NON-INVASIVE INSTALLATION TAILORED TO ANY PANEL SETUP
We use attachment methods specifically designed for solar arrays, avoiding any drilling or structural impact on panels or roof tiles. Whether your panels are on a pitched or flat roof, our fixings are customised for the layout to ensure full coverage and security. If you've previously had bird-related damage, you might also benefit from our rats and mice service to check for additional access points around the property. All our fittings are weatherproof and built to withstand long-term exposure.
MAINTAINING PROTECTION WITH SCHEDULED CHECKS & UPKEEP
Proofing systems can loosen or degrade over time if not monitored, particularly in high-wind or high-activity areas. We offer routine checks to make sure all mesh, clips, and barriers remain intact and fully functional. If any weakness is found, we carry out immediate repairs or adjustments to prevent future pest access. For properties with persistent bird activity, our falconry service provides an added layer of deterrent through natural predatory presence.
LONG-TERM VALUE & PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR INVESTMENT
Solar panels are a long-term investment — and so is protecting them. That's why we don't just fit proofing and leave it at that. Our technicians offer tailored advice on ongoing care, such as how to spot early signs of pest return, clean safely around panels, and schedule proactive checks. With Rapid Response Pest Control, you get a complete service built around sustainability, system performance, and long-term protection.
