Let’s be honest — when you got solar panels, you probably didn’t think you’d end up with a rooftop full of pigeons. However, it turns out that panels make a pretty perfect spot for them. They’re warm, covered, high up, and there’s not much around to scare them off. Once they move in, it goes downhill fast — poop everywhere, feathers in the gutters, and that nonstop cooing can drive you mad. Not to mention, pigeon activity can significantly reduce panel efficiency and lead to costly maintenance. That’s why more homeowners are turning to residential solar pigeon proofing to protect their investment.
