Bird nests and droppings on solar panels reduce energy output, accelerate corrosion, create fire hazards, and shorten equipment life. AKS Facilities offers professional bird nest & dropping removal from solar panels across Gurgaon, Delhi, Manesar and Mumbai — combining gentle cleaning, safe nest removal, and long-term bird-proofing so your rooftop solar keeps producing at peak efficiency.
Why Prompt Removal Matters
-
Restore energy yield: Droppings and nests shade panels and block sunlight, dropping output by 5–25% or more depending on coverage.
-
Prevent corrosion & hotspots: Acidic droppings corrode frames and connectors; debris can trap moisture and cause hot-spots that damage cells.
-
Reduce fire risk: Dry nesting material close to electrical junctions can ignite.
-
Avoid maintenance surprises: Early removal prevents long-term degradation, costly repairs, and warranty complications.
-
Improve safety & hygiene: Bird nests host parasites and droppings carry pathogens — cleaning reduces health risks for maintenance staff.

Our Safe, Solar-Friendly Removal Process
-
Site assessment & risk check
We inspect panel layout, roof access, array tilt, wiring paths, and nesting extent to plan safe removal without voiding warranties. -
Access & safety setup
Certified technicians use fall-arrest systems, mobile scaffolds or boom lifts where required. We label electrical isolators and coordinate with facility managers to shut down or isolate arrays if necessary. -
Gentle nest & dropping removal
Using soft brushes, low-pressure rinsing, and non-corrosive, solar-safe cleaning agents, we remove droppings and nesting debris without scratching glass or damaging seals. -
Electrical-safe cleaning near junctions
We avoid saturated washes near inverters, junction boxes, and MC4 connectors; dry-cleaning and spot treatments protect electrical components. -
Debris disposal & disinfection
Collected nests and droppings are bagged and removed; we disinfect mounting rails and surrounding roof areas to reduce health risks. -
Inspection & performance check
Post-clean, we visually inspect for cell damage and can provide thermal imaging (optional) to detect hotspots or panel defects caused by nests. -
Proofing & recommendations
We advise and install bird-deterrents (spikes, mesh, angled guards, or ultrasonic deterrents) that are solar-compatible and do not shade panels.
Common Situations We Handle
-
Small rooftop arrays with occasional pigeon activity
-
Large commercial installations with nesting under rails and cable trays
-
Community/condo solar on slab roofs and podiums attracting birds
-
Coastal installations in Mumbai with heavy seabird droppings
-
Industrial sites in Manesar/Gurgaon with mixed nesting species
For commercial and industrial jobs, request our site visit via the Gurgaon or Manesar pages for tailored quotes.
Best Practices to Prevent Recurrence
-
Install rail-compatible bird guards or mesh under panel edges.
-
Use angled or anti-perch clips on rails and conduits.
-
Maintain a clear roof perimeter (trim trees and manage food sources).
-
Schedule periodic cleanings — quarterly for high-activity sites, bi-annually for moderate activity.
-
Include bird-proofing in your O&M contract to protect energy yields year-round.
Typical Timelines & Pricing Factors
-
Small residential clean: 1–3 hours (depending on access and array size).
-
Commercial/industrial arrays: Half-day to multi-day projects depending on area and proofing needs.
-
Pricing depends on: roof access complexity, array size, extent of nesting, required access equipment (boom lift/scaffold), and additional proofing hardware.

Safety & Warranty Considerations
-
We follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid warranty-voiding actions (no aggressive pressure washing, no panel removal unless authorized).
-
Technicians are trained for rooftop electrical safety and work under a documented SOP.
-
We coordinate shutdowns with your solar O&M or system owner on arrays where isolation is required.
FAQs — Bird Nest & Dropping Removal from Solar Panels
Q: Do bird droppings really reduce solar output?
A: Yes. Even small shaded areas or soiling can reduce panel output significantly; heavy soiling or nests that shade cells can drop production 5–25% or more.
Q: Can cleaning damage my panels or void warranty?
A: When done improperly, yes. That’s why we use solar-safe methods, follow manufacturer guidance, and avoid high-pressure washing or scraping.
Q: How often should I clean panels for bird activity?
A: For roofs with high bird activity, quarterly cleaning is recommended. Moderate activity: bi-annual. Low activity: annual inspection with spot cleaning.
Q: Will bird-proofing reduce my system’s efficiency?
A: Properly designed proofing (mesh under rails, thin spikes on rail edges, slanted guards) prevents nesting without shading panels — so efficiency is preserved.
Q: Do you handle solar arrays on high-rise buildings?
A: Yes. We have certified rope-access teams and boom-lift operators for safe work at height, coordinated with building management.
