Why Laser Bird Deterrent Technology is the Solution for Your Solar Roof

March 15, 2023 View:

In recent years, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the United States added 5.7 gigawatts (GW) of rooftop solar capacity in 2020 alone, bringing the total installed capacity to over 43 GW. This represents a significant increase in rooftop solar adoption, as the country only had 1 GW of rooftop solar capacity in 2010. Additionally, many other countries, such as Germany and Australia, have seen similar increases in rooftop solar adoption in recent years.

Rooftop solar panels have become increasingly popular in recent years as a way for homeowners and businesses to generate their own electricity and reduce their carbon footprint. The service life and maintenance cost of solar panels is the most concerning issues for users. Among them, bird activity is a significant concern affecting service life and maintenance.

One of the primary issues with birds and solar panels is that birds may build nests underneath the panels. This can cause damage to the panels themselves and create a fire hazard. Nests can also attract other birds, which can create even more damage.

To prevent birds from nesting underneath the solar panels, installers are now using bird deterrents such as spikes, netting, or bird wire to discourage birds from landing on the panels. These measures can be effective, but they must be installed correctly to ensure they are safe for both the birds and the solar panels.

Another issue is that birds may land on the solar panels themselves and scratch or peck at the surface of the panels, causing damage that can reduce their efficiency. Birds can also leave droppings on the panels, which can block sunlight and decrease the energy output of the panels. The accumulation of droppings can also create a health hazard for workers who need to clean the panels.

Except for the normal bird spikes and netting to prevent birds from the solar roofs, there is another tool that becoming more and more popular: laser bird deterrent.

Laser bird deterrent technology is a non-lethal, humane way to keep birds away from your solar roof. It uses a laser beam that creates a visual disturbance that scares birds away. The laser beam is invisible to humans and harmless to birds, making it an effective and environmentally-friendly solution.

Here are some of the benefits of using laser bird deterrent technology on your solar roof:

Protects your solar panels: Birds can damage solar panels by pecking at the wires and insulation, which can reduce their efficiency and lifespan. Laser bird deterrent technology keeps birds away from your solar panels, protecting them from damage.

Reduces maintenance costs: Bird droppings can accumulate on solar panels and cause them to become less efficient. Cleaning bird droppings off solar panels can be time-consuming and expensive. Laser bird deterrent technology reduces the need for regular cleaning and maintenance, saving you time and money.

Environmentally friendly: Laser bird deterrent technology is a non-toxic and humane way to keep birds away from your solar panels. Unlike other bird deterrent methods such as spikes and netting, laser bird deterrent technology does not harm birds in any way.

Saves energy: When birds perch on solar panels, they can create shade that reduces the efficiency of the panels. Laser bird deterrent technology keeps birds away from your solar panels, allowing them to work at maximum efficiency and generate more energy.

In conclusion, laser bird deterrent technology is an effective and environmentally-friendly solution to the problem of birds perching on solar roofs. It protects your solar panels from damage, reduces maintenance costs, saves energy, and is easy to install and use. If you have a solar roof and are experiencing problems with birds, laser bird deterrent technology may be the solution you need. Please contact our sales team for more information (sales@laserdeterrent.com or WhatsApp:+8618550596602).
