Product Information

Full details

The Mountview Solar Panel Bird Mesh is an essential accessory for homeowners and commercial property managers looking to protect their solar arrays from invasive pests like pigeons and rodents. By creating a physical barrier around the perimeter of roof-mounted panels, this mesh prevents nesting and structural damage while ensuring the continued efficiency of your energy system. While it provides robust defense against pests, users should note that the installation process requires climbing onto the roof, which may necessitate professional assistance for those uncomfortable with heights.

FAQs

Will this mesh block too much air and cause my panels to overheat?

No, the 12.5mm opening size is specifically chosen to maintain the necessary airflow for cooling the panels.

Can I install this mesh on any roof type?

The mesh is flexible and can be adapted to most roof types, provided you have a secure way to clip it to your panel frames.

Does the mesh come with clips?

This product is a 30m roll of mesh; specific mounting clips should be purchased separately based on the thickness of your solar panel frames.

How long will the PVC coating last?

The PVC coating is designed for long-term outdoor use and provides excellent protection against corrosion and weather-related wear.

What tools are required to cut the mesh?

A standard pair of heavy-duty tin snips or side-cutting wire pliers will easily cut through the galvanised iron mesh.

Troubleshooting

Mesh feels loose or sags after installation

Ensure you are using high-quality clips at shorter intervals to provide more support for the mesh structure.

Difficulty bending the mesh around corners

Use pliers to make clean, sharp folds at the corners rather than trying to bend the entire length by hand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects delicate wiring from pest damage
  • Maintains optimal panel cooling through proper ventilation
  • High durability due to PVC-coated galvanised iron
  • Substantial 30-meter length covers most standard installations
  • Easy to customize with standard cutting tools

Cons

  • Requires roof access for proper installation
  • Installation can be time-consuming for large arrays
  • Requires specific fasteners or clips not always included in the roll

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the mesh, begin by measuring the perimeter of your solar array. Use heavy-duty wire cutters to trim the mesh to the required length. When placing the mesh, ensure it is flush against the panel edge and secured to the frame using appropriate solar panel clips. Avoid using nails or screws that could puncture the roof surface. For care and maintenance, conduct an annual inspection of the perimeter to ensure no fasteners have loosened over time and that debris like dry leaves or twigs have not accumulated against the mesh, as these can block the necessary airflow.
