Help! Problem with my solar panels

Sophie de Vries

last year

I am not sure where to post this topic, but I still hope anyone can help me. Last week I discovered a bird nest under my solar panels. I think it is being used and I am worried that they will mess up the wires of the solar panels. Also I really don't think that it is a great place to lay eggs. Is there a way to deal with this without hurting the birds? And does anyone know a way to prevent this in the future?

I looked it up and there are many ways apperantly. But now I don't know whattt the best solution is. I could use zip ties or call professionals like these in repelling birds under solar panels, but you just know that this is gonna cot me a lot. What's the best option here you think?

Here it’s common to have wire mesh along the perimeter of the panels. Be careful if you are doing this yourself!
