Stop birds nesting under solar panels

[^woody^]

The installers should be offering a system for the panels they fit. Normally £500-£600 extra for a typical 3 bed.

Stainless steel would be preferable. Otherwise, the guards chosen should last as long as the panels, and be wary of galvanised as these can rust when they are cut or worn from abrasion.

def get mesh around the panels. We had panels installed and had pigeons in year after year. They wake you up before dawn in the summer cooing and leave their muck everywhere. These are south facing panels in full sun all day with no shading at all. After 3 years, we'd had enough and paid a contractor £500 or so to go round the entire array with mesh. It's stopped them nesting.

I don't understand why solar panel installers don't offer this as an add on. It would do their business good as virtually everyone would opt for it.
