pigeons

[tanner0441]

Hi,

I only have three 400W panels, so I need every watt I can produce, they are on the roof of my workshop and only about twelve foot off the ground. I am having to wash them on an almost daily basis because the local pigeon and blackbird population like setling on them and it seems neither spiecis suffer in any way with constipation, in fact they all seem remarkably healthy.

Has anyone any idea how to deter birds from landing on solar panels or at least facing the other way round with their tails hanging over the space behind the panels..

Make strips of spikes that stick up, use some 3m VHB tape and tape them tot eh top edge of the panels.

Like used on my Davis Weather Station rain collector bucket
