Effective solutions with anti-bird barriers for photovoltaic panels

THE PROBLEM OF PIGEONS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

The presence of a photovoltaic system on the roof of a home, with the release of accumulated heat from the panels, becomes a strong attraction for nesting pigeons. The nests and guano present between the panels and the roof covering will be washed away by rain, causing them to accumulate in the gutters and cause them to clog. Furthermore, the guano will bring parasitic insects and pathogenic viruses and, due to its acidity, will tend to cloud the glass, rapidly decreasing the performance and yield of the panels.

Protect the efficiency of your solar panels

There anti-bird barrier for photovoltaic panels It represents a targeted solution to prevent damage from nesting and the accumulation of guano near solar panels. Birds find refuge in difficult-to-reach areas such as attics, gutters, cornices, and especially under photovoltaic panels. Their presence not only degrades surfaces but also contributes to the proliferation of pathogens. Excrement, organic debris, and associated parasites (mites, ticks, lice) make the environment hazardous to human health.

Filomat solutions for panel protection

Filomat offers various solutions for the installation of a anti-bird barrier for photovoltaic panels Specifically designed to prevent pigeons from entering without compromising the system's energy efficiency. Our barriers are made of aluminum, a strong and durable material, easy to install and can be integrated into any type of structure. Thanks to their technical composition, they are weather-resistant and do not interfere with the efficiency of solar panels. The discreet and functional design is designed to perfectly adapt to the protection needs of your systems.

SOLUTION

Our innovative anti-bird barrier for photovoltaic panels It allows you to quickly and permanently close the niche between the roof slope and the photovoltaic panels, not only for pigeons but also for large rodents, which could gnaw the electrical cables near the panels.

The panels are attached using a practical clamp that, in addition to protecting the panel warranty, allows for disassembly for maintenance. It can also be mounted with double-sided tape, silicone, or screws (this will void the panel warranty).

TECHNICAL FEATURES

  • Slat height: 200 mm
  • Element length: 1000 mm
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Thickness: 8/10 mm
  • Color: dark brown
  • Aluminum clamp with AISI 304 stainless steel screw
  • Clamp range: 0 – 45mm (0 - 55mm on request)

Phase 1: Install the BF1000 comb on the panel by adapting the teeth to the roof and using the step to fit it under the panel

Phase 2: Use two MORS01/meter clamps for fastening

Phase 3: In the presence of obstacles such as the panel anchoring structure, mount the BF1000 comb on both sides of the obstacle

Phase 4: Insert two or more teeth of the installed combs into the slots of BF140, bringing the latter into contact with the obstacle

Phase 5: Fold the teeth previously inserted into the slots upwards to lock BF140
