Solar Panel Protection

Protect your Solar Panels from nesting birds and other vermin

As many more Australian property owners install solar panels on their rooftops, owners are discovering how popular they are with pigeons and other problem birds as nesting sites.

Pigeons, possums, like many other animals, seek shelter and protection from predators. Solar panels mounted on rooftops provide exactly the right environment for them to establish their homes. The space under the solar panels is shaded, relatively cool, and not easily accessible by predators which makes it a great space for pigeons, other nesting birds and possums to live.

Solar Panel Protection 01

What’s the problem?

Solar panels offer a cleaner, more efficient way to meet energy needs. However, outdoor pests, like pigeons, birds and possums, tend to wreak havoc on solar systems which could wind up costing you more time and money in the future. Many animals like to use solar panels for shelter but can end up causing irreparable damage over time.

What are some of the dangers of pests nesting under your solar panels?

  • Potential fire hazard from a build of nest kindling/leaves between the roof and solar panels
  • Electrical hazard from birds, possums and other vermin moving about or chewing wires
  • Increase buildup of waste that ends up blocking gutters and downpipes
  • Health hazard from animal/bird waste buildup and the associated putrid smell
  • Excessive noise from roosting birds
  • Bird/vermin droppings are highly acidic and can stain and corrode roofing material
  • Water contamination in gutters and rainwater tank collection systems
  • Reduced airflow underneath the panels will decrease their efficiency to operate
  • Fouling solar panel surface rapidly reducing their efficiency

Yes! There is a solution

Gutter Knight has solved this problem with an innovative, humane system that creates a physical barrier around your solar panels which minimises access by these vermin to under your solar panels.

What we do

This installation system does not void your warranty as it is non-intrusive to the panels, there is no drilling or cutting involved. In fact, the method we use won’t leave a scratch on your system. We use a high-quality aluminum mesh that is powder coated not only for extra protection but to also blend into your roof. The mesh does not rust and is removable for servicing your panels.

  • Our unique clips ensure a secure fixing and won’t scratch panels
  • The clips lock the mesh to the panels without drilling holes or damaging the system
  • Nearly invisible from the ground
  • Your Solar Panel warranty is not affected
  • The mesh can be easily removed if required and reinstalled

  • Mesh allows airflow to freely circulate under the panels allowing them to operate efficiently, while keeping the critters and debris out

Meet Your Local Gutter Guard Professional

My name is Alex, and I am your Gutter Knight professional in greater and rural Adelaide.

I was born in Ukraine and most of my life worked in banking and investment banking industries. A couple of high degrees and diplomas in economics, along with good communication skills, helped my progress within the industry.

Ukraine was badly hit by the world financial crisis of 2007, which drove a change of course. I, with my wife Lesya and our daughter Lika, decided to move to Adelaide, which has the closest climate to what we’re used to.

My partner Lesya, has continued to work as a teacher, for myself I wanted to try something different from the fast paced commercial lifestyle of banking and wanted to be ‘hands-on’ so I took a position working as a Foxtel technician for 8 years which I really enjoyed. I have all the necessary licences and skills to work at heights and in different conditions.

I see customer satisfaction as the main key performance indicator. My role is not merely to install gutter protection, but to advise the optimal product for your roof and make the whole process from the first contact through to final installation as smoothly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you soon and providing you with our great product and exceptional service.

What Our Customers Say

Alex did an amazing job of our gutter guard on our double story home. He was very reliable and finalised our job quickly. If you’re looking for a perfect job, Alex is the best!
Donna Bergineti
Alex was ever so helpful. We had gutter guards installed on our tiled roof, carport, and shed. This was a huge task, and was performed very well. We have a huge amount of leaves that fall from neighbours trees. These now sit on top of the gutter guard and eventually with the action of the wind get blown off. So much better than continually cleaning the gutters! Thanks Alex, we’ll recommend you to anyone who asks.
Steve & Wendy Starling
Alex did a great job with my mesh gutter guards. He was friendly, took the time to understand my requirements, and completed the job with care and great attention to detail. I recommend his service to others.
