Our Services
Bird Proofing
Are you hearing scratching, flapping, or cooing from your roof? Pigeons have turned your solar panels into a high rise nesting site, and they aren’t going to leave on their own.
Beyond the noise and the mess on your driveway and paths, nesting birds are a serious health hazard and can lead to costly repairs. Our specialized solar bird-proofing service gets the birds out and keeps them out guaranteed.
Solar Cleaning
Dirt, bird droppings, pollen, and environmental grime act as a barrier between your solar panels and the sun. Even a thin layer of debris can reduce your system's energy production by 10% to 25%.
At We Are Solar, we don’t just rinse your panels; we provide a deep-clean service that restores your system to its peak operational efficiency. We use specialized, non-abrasive equipment that is safe for all panel types, ensuring you get the full return on your solar investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We specialize in two core areas solar cleaning and bird proofing to ensure your solar investment remains profitable and protected for the long term. Our goal is to make sure your panels are generating as much electricity as possible while staying safe from environmental damage.
-
For our bird proofing service, we use a high grade stainless steel mesh that is thick coated in black UV resistant PVC. This material is built to withstand the harshest weather without rusting or corroding. The black coating makes the mesh nearly invisible from the ground, maintaining the sleek look of your home.
-
Most manufacturers recommend a professional clean at least twice a year, but your specific environment is the best guide for your schedule. For the average home, biannual maintenance prevents seasonal dust, pollen, and debris from baking into a hard film that blocks sunlight and can eventually etch the glass.
-
Solar panels are essentially the perfect real estate for pigeons, providing the ideal combination of safety, warmth, and shelter. Because your panels are mounted a few inches above the roof surface, the resulting gap acts as a protected, shaded sanctuary that keeps birds cool in the summer and warm during the winter. This space is high enough to be away from ground-level predators like cats or foxes, and the solid structure of the panels offers a sturdy, weather-proof roof for their nests. Once a pigeon finds this secure, elevated environment, they are highly motivated to stay, which is why a simple deterrent is often the only way to effectively reclaim your roof from their presence.
-
Pricing for professional bird proofing is straightforward, as we base our costs on the size of your solar array. We charge $20 per meter for the installation of our high grade, PVC coated stainless steel mesh. We focus on giving the best pricing without sacrificing service quality.
-
Only if done incorrectly. Drilling, screwing, or gluing into your panel frames can absolutely void a manufacturer's warranty. We only use non-invasive, specialized clips that attach only to the solar panel frame lip.
