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.

No, the 12.5mm opening size is specifically chosen to maintain the necessary airflow for cooling the panels.
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.
This product is a 30m roll of mesh; specific mounting clips should be purchased separately based on the thickness of your solar panel frames.
The PVC coating is designed for long-term outdoor use and provides excellent protection against corrosion and weather-related wear.
A standard pair of heavy-duty tin snips or side-cutting wire pliers will easily cut through the galvanised iron mesh.
Ensure you are using high-quality clips at shorter intervals to provide more support for the mesh structure.
Use pliers to make clean, sharp folds at the corners rather than trying to bend the entire length by hand.
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.
