The Fastensol Bird Protection Mesh is an essential accessory for homeowners and commercial installers looking to safeguard solar arrays from damage caused by nesting birds and small pests. This product provides a durable, reliable barrier that prevents animals from accessing the area beneath panels, helping to maintain system efficiency and preventing wire degradation. While the mesh offers excellent protection and longevity due to its PVC coating, installation requires careful attention to detail around panel corners to ensure a secure and gap-free fit.

No, the 1/2 x 1 inch grid is designed to allow significant airflow, ensuring that your panels do not overheat.
Yes, it is designed to be flexible enough to conform to most roof surfaces, including asphalt shingles, metal, and tile.

Yes, the PVC coating provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, preventing the underlying metal from rusting or corroding.
Check that the mounting clips are fully engaged and consider adding more clips along the span to provide extra tension.
Inspect the bottom edge for gaps. Adjust the angle of the mesh or add weights/additional fasteners to ensure the bottom edge sits flush against the roof surface.
To install, measure the perimeter of your solar array and cut the 8-inch mesh into manageable segments. Use heavy-duty wire cutters to ensure clean edges. The mesh should be bent at an angle to allow it to sit flush against the roof surface while being clipped to the edge of the panel frame. Ensure that no gaps are left where birds could squeeze through, as they are persistent once they identify a nesting site.
Compatibility: This mesh is compatible with most standard aluminum-framed solar panels.
Care: Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically inspect the perimeter of the array after heavy storms to ensure no clips have come loose and that the mesh remains securely pressed against the roof tiles or metal surfaces.
