Protect Your Solar Panels with BirdBlocker: The Ultimate Solution Against Bird Nests
When it comes to solar panels, efficiency and safety are paramount. However, bird nests under the panels can cause significant damage, from cable breakage to fire risk, affecting both the birds and the effectiveness of your solar system. This is where BirdBlocker comes in, an innovation designed to keep birds away from your panels in an environmentally friendly manner and ensuring that your solar panels perform at their maximum efficiency.
Below, we explain how to select the right BirdBlocker for your panels, considering our three key attributes: Model, Box Size, and Clip Preinstallation.
First, choose your Model: BB125 vs. BB200
The choice between BB125 and BB200 mainly depends on the type of roof and the height of the mounting system of your solar panels.
- BB125: With needles 125 mm in length and a maximum cap height of 120 mm, this model is ideal for lower mounting systems and roofs with less space between the panel and the roof surface. Stability is ensured by a bridge that interconnects the needles, ideal for preventing access by small and medium-sized birds.
- Needle length: 125 mm (the needles are interconnected with a bridge for greater stability)
- Maximum cap height: 120 mm
- BirdBlocker Strips: 50 cm wide
- Material: Black HDPE resistant to UV rays and recyclable
- Mounting clips: stainless steel
- BB200: This model, with needles 200 mm in length and a maximum cap height of 195 mm, is designed for roofs with more space between the panel and the roof or for situations that require a higher barrier against larger birds. Like the BB125, it features a bridge between the needles for greater stability.
- Needle length: 200 mm (the needles are interconnected with a bridge for greater stability)
- Maximum cap height: 195 mm
- BirdBlocker Strips: 50 cm wide
- Material: Black HDPE resistant to UV rays and recyclable
- Mounting clips: stainless steel
The right choice ensures that there is no space for birds to nest under your panels, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your installation.
Next, choose the Box Size: 10 meters vs. 30 meters
We offer boxes of 10 and 30 meters to adapt to the size of your solar installation. It is vital to select a box size that not only covers the entire perimeter of your installation but also includes an additional 10% to ensure complete coverage without interruptions.
- 10 meters: Perfect for smaller installations or for specific areas that require protection.
- 30 meters: Ideal for larger installations, ensuring you have enough material to completely surround all your solar panels.
Finally, choose the Clip Preinstallation: With or Without Preinstalled Clips
We offer BirdBlocker both with preinstalled standard clips and without them:
- Without preinstalled clips: You will receive the standard clips along with your BirdBlocker. This option is ideal if you prefer to install the clips yourself or if the conditions of your roof require specific customization of the clip placement.
- With preinstalled clips: Opt for this version if you are looking for maximum convenience and significant time savings during installation. The preinstalled standard clips make assembly quick and efficient, ideal for large projects or for installers looking to optimize their time. Option only available for 30 meter boxes. This option is designed to save time and simplify assembly, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Conclusion
The choice of the right BirdBlocker is based on a clear understanding of your specific needs, from the type of roof and the size of your installation to the preference for installation convenience. By carefully selecting the model, the box size, and the clip preinstallation option, you ensure an effective and personalized solution to protect your solar panels against damage caused by bird nests, thus maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of your solar investment.
With BirdBlocker, you are choosing quality protection, designed to be as durable and efficient as your own solar panels. Secure the integrity of your solar system today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a complete and well-thought-out solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Do I need to buy the clips separately if I choose the BirdBlocker without pre-installed clips?
No, you don’t need to buy the clips separately. If you choose the Without Pre-installed Clips option, we will send the standard clips in a separate bag. You will be responsible for installing those clips on the BirdBlocker yourself.
2. Is it recommended to buy the installation tool?
Yes, it is highly recommended. The installation tool makes the process much easier and ensures a more professional finish. It’s an investment that will save time and improve the quality of the installation.
3. Do I need to purchase the BB-Box-Clip-50s accessories?
You only need to purchase the BB-Box-Clip-50s if your solar panel has frames on the short sides. If not, they won’t be necessary.
4. How many meters of BirdBlocker do I need to cover my solar panels?
The amount of BirdBlocker you need depends on the total perimeter of your solar panels. Measure the perimeter of your panels and make sure to buy the appropriate number of meters to fully cover all exposed sides. It is recommended to purchase a little more than calculated, as some material is typically lost when cutting the BirdBlocker to fit around corners and edges.
5. Does BirdBlocker affect the efficiency of solar panels?
No, the BirdBlocker is designed not to interfere with the efficiency of the solar panels. Its purpose is to prevent birds from perching or nesting under the panels without blocking sunlight or airflow, which are necessary for the panels to function optimally.
6. Is BirdBlocker resistant to extreme weather conditions?
Yes, the BirdBlocker is made from high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, such as prolonged exposure to sun, rain, wind, and salt in coastal areas.
7. Can I install the BirdBlocker myself, or do I need a professional?
The BirdBlocker is designed so that customers can install it themselves. However, we recommend using the installation tool to make the process easier. As long as working at heights does not pose a risk, you can install it yourself. If access is difficult or dangerous, we recommend contacting a professional installer to ensure proper and safe installation.
I think it's an excellent solution to prevent pigeons from nesting under the solar panels. It perfectly covers the gaps between the roof tiles, and the ties connecting the different segments make it very effective.
