Solar-Guard / Bird Proofing
Why You Need Solar-Guard/Bird Proofing
In the picturesque Northern Rivers region, homes surrounded by trees and foliage are prone to debris buildup on roofs and underneath solar panels. This not only affects the efficiency of your solar system but can also lead to serious safety and health hazards.
Health Risks from Bird and Rodent Droppings
Toxic and Corrosive Droppings: Bird and rodent droppings contain uric acid, which is corrosive and can damage solar panel components. These droppings also harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Contamination of Water Tanks: In areas reliant on rainwater tanks, droppings can wash into the tanks, contaminating the water with pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and Histoplasma, posing serious health risks.
Benefits of Solar-Guard/Bird Proofing
Enhanced Safety: By preventing debris accumulation and pest nesting, Solar-Guard significantly reduces the risk of fire hazards.
Improved Efficiency: Keeps solar panels clean and unobstructed, ensuring maximum sunlight absorption, cooling, and optimal energy
output.
Health Protection: Prevents droppings from contaminating water tanks, protecting you from harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Long-Term Savings: Protects against costly repairs and replacements caused by pest damage and corrosion, ensuring your solar system's longevity.
The Dangers of Debris Buildup
Fire Hazards: Dry leaves, twigs, and other organic materials can accumulate under solar panels, creating a significant fire risk, especially during hot and dry seasons.
Reduced Solar Efficiency: Debris blocks sunlight from reaching your solar cells, and block important airflow that is required to cool your solar system, reducing the energy output and efficiency of your system.
Attraction of Pests: Bird nests and other debris attract rodents, which are known to chew on electrical components, potentially causing severe damage and increasing fire risks.
Key Features:
Durable Materials: Long-lasting protection against pests and debris.
Professional Installation: Ensures secure attachment without interfering with solar panel operation.

FAQS
Should I get my solar system cleaned?
Absolutely. Regular cleaning of your solar system ensures it operates at maximum efficiency by removing dirt, dust, and other obstructions that can block sunlight. This not only improves energy production but also extends the lifespan of your panels.
Can I clean my own panels?
While you can, it's not recommended. Solar panel cleaning requires specific techniques and safety measures to avoid damage to the panels or yourself. Professional cleaning ensures the job is done safely and effectively, without risking harm or voiding warranties.
How can I clean my panels?
For safety and efficiency, we recommend contacting professionals like us. If you choose to do light maintenance, you can gently rinse your panels with a garden hose early in the morning or late in the evening. Avoid using high-pressure water systems, as they can damage the panels.
How often should I have my solar system cleaned?
It varies based on your location and environment, but generally, cleaning your solar system at least once a year is recommended. In areas with heavy dust or bird activity, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.
Do you use any chemicals?
No, we do not use harsh chemicals. Our cleaning process utilizes deionized water and eco-friendly, solar-safe cleaning solutions. This method ensures a thorough clean without risking damage to your panels or the environment.
What are the benefits of cleaning my solar panels?
Several benefits include:
Increased Efficiency: Clean panels generate more electricity than dirty ones.
Extended Panel Life: Regular cleaning prevents damage and wear, prolonging your system's lifespan.
Higher Savings: More efficient panels mean more savings on your energy bill.
Warranty Preservation: Some manufacturers require regular cleaning as part of the warranty conditions.
