See our pigeon control service. Pigeon control (https://sunsupcleaning.com/pigeon-control/) ## Why pigeons pick Arizona solar arrays The space under a rooftop array is shaded, sheltered and warm, which makes it a perfect nesting spot. Homes near a pool or any water source see it most. Once one pair moves in, more follow. Pigeon droppings are acidic and eat away at tile and shingle over time. Nests trap leaves and desert debris against the roof, block drainage and sit right next to the wiring that runs your system. Most arrays are built to last 20 to 25 years, so closing the gap early protects the whole roof. ### Roof damage Acidic droppings break down tile and shingle, and blocked drainage holds water against the roof. ### Wiring risk Nesting birds and other wildlife can chew or pull at the wiring under your panels. ### Noise and mess Cooing at dawn, droppings on the patio and feathers in the yard all stop once the gap is sealed. ## How it works 1. 1 ### Get your price Tell us your panel count and ZIP. We price from the length of the array edge and the cleanup needed. 2. 2 ### We clean and proof We remove nests and guano, clean the panels, then fit the mesh around the full perimeter. 3. 3 ### You get the photos Before-and-after shots of the cleanup and the finished barrier from every side. ## How pricing works Pigeon proofing is priced by the linear footage around your array, plus any cleanup needed before the mesh goes on. Heavy nesting takes more time, and we tell you that before we start.

Price was good and craftsmanship was five star. No more birds.” Darryl W. ## Questions we get asked What is a pigeon guard? A welded steel wire mesh coated in PVC that runs around the perimeter of your solar panels. It keeps pigeons and other wildlife from getting underneath. Will the mesh damage my panels or warranty? The mesh clips to the panel frame without drilling into the panels. The installation is covered by a 10-year warranty. How is pigeon proofing priced? By the linear footage around your array, plus any cleaning needed before installation. Do you remove the existing nests first? Yes. We clear nests, feathers and guano and clean the panels before any mesh goes on, so nothing is sealed in. Will it fit my tile roof? Yes. We use pre-cut 5-foot sections shaped for Spanish tile, so they sit tight against the curves without gaps. Can I see the mesh from the street? Barely. The black PVC-coated mesh sits under the panel edge and blends into the roof line. ## Related reading ### Pigeon Proofing Cost and Per-Panel Pricing in Mesa: https://sunsupcleaning.com/pigeon-proofing-cost-per-panel-mesa/ Pigeon Proofing Cost and Per-Panel Pricing in Mesa Pigeon proofing cost in Mesa usually runs between $800 and $2,500 for a full solar array.
