The Enviroguard SolarGuard Adjustable Bird Spike is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking to secure solar panel arrays that lack an accessible underside lip for traditional mesh clips. By providing a formidable physical barrier against nesting and roosting, these spikes protect your solar equipment from avian debris and related electrical damage, though they do require more precise adhesive or mechanical mounting techniques compared to standard friction-fit solutions.

They are specifically designed for panels that lack a mounting lip; please verify your panel frame dimensions before purchase.
When installed correctly according to guidelines, they provide protection without interfering with the solar cells or panel electrical integrity.
We recommend an inspection at least once every six months during your routine solar system maintenance.
Depending on your chosen mounting method, you may need a heavy-duty caulking gun for adhesive or a screwdriver for mechanical fasteners.
Yes, provided they are securely anchored using both structural adhesive and mechanical fixings where applicable.
Re-apply UV-stable adhesive or verify that the mechanical fasteners are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
Check for gaps between the edge of the roof and the start of the spikes; ensure no nesting material has been pushed behind the barrier.
Installation should be performed while the system is powered off and during cool weather to prevent thermal expansion issues during application. Ensure the mounting surface of the panel frame or mounting rail is clean and free of dust or bird waste using an isopropyl alcohol wipe before installation. If using adhesive, apply a high-strength, UV-stable construction sealant. Inspect the spikes every six months during your annual solar cleaning to ensure no debris has built up on the spikes themselves and that the bond remains secure. Avoid placing weight on the spikes or the solar panels during the maintenance process.
