How to Install Solar Panel Bird Mesh Kit

Protecting your solar investment from nesting birds and debris is critical for system longevity and performance. The Solar Panel Mesh Kit from Solar Rains offers a reliable, non-invasive solution designed for quick installation with minimal tools.

1. Safety First: Before starting, ensure you have proper roof safety equipment, including non-slip footwear, gloves, safety glasses, and a harness if working at height. Always follow workplace safety regulations when accessing solar panels.

2. Prepare the Mesh: Unroll the stainless steel mesh provided in the kit. Measure and cut each section to fit the length of your solar array sides, allowing a few extra centimetres for overlap at the corners and joints.

3. Position the Mesh: Begin at one corner of the solar array. Align the mesh along the bottom edge of the panel frame, ensuring it extends down to the roof surface but does not obstruct airflow beneath the panels.

4. Secure with Clips: Use the supplied stainless steel fasteners to attach the mesh to the panel frame:

• Insert the clip through the mesh.
• Hook the clip onto the aluminium frame of the panel (never attach directly to the roof or roof tiles).
• Tighten until the mesh is held firmly against the frame.
• Repeat along the full length, spacing clips approximately every 30–40 cm.

5. Manage Corners & Joins: For corners, trim and fold the mesh to achieve a snug fit. Avoid sharp bends that may weaken the mesh. When connecting two mesh sections, overlap by at least 3–5 cm and secure with additional clips or stainless cable ties for maximum strength and coverage.

6. Final Inspection: After installation, conduct a full perimeter check to ensure:

• All mesh sections are tightly fastened.
• There are no gaps or loose edges birds could access.
• The installation does not interfere with solar panel ventilation or drainage.

Avoid drilling or screwing into solar panels or roof surfaces. Our clip-based system ensures a non-destructive installation that preserves manufacturer warranties and maintains clean, professional aesthetics.
