Stainless steel mesh is a preferred material for bird proofing solar panels due to several reasons:
Durability: Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor use. When used as a mesh around solar panels, it can withstand various weather conditions, including exposure to sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations without degrading.
Protection: The mesh acts as a barrier, preventing birds and other pests from accessing the area beneath the solar panels. Birds often seek shelter or build nests under solar panels, which can lead to debris accumulation, damage to the panels, and potential fire hazards from nesting materials.
Non-intrusive: Stainless steel mesh with aluminium clips can be installed without causing damage to the solar panels or altering their functionality. No fixed screws on the solar panels.
Low Maintenance: Once installed, stainless steel mesh requires minimal maintenance. It doesn’t corrode or deteriorate easily, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.
Longevity: Stainless steel has a long lifespan, which means once installed, the mesh will remain effective for an extended period, providing continuous protection to the solar panels
