The Problem

Pigeons Under Solar Panels Create Bigger Problems Than Most Homeowners Realize

Pigeons nest under solar panels because the space is warm, dark and protected from weather.

Over time this creates:

• Droppings buildup on and under your rooftop and solar panels
• Strong odors that get worse over time
• Constant noise from nesting activity
• Damage to wiring and roofing materials

Most homeowners in Albuquerque don’t see the full extent of their problem until it has already gotten serious.

• Pigeon droppings are acidic and eat through roofing materials, wiring insulation and panel frames over time.
• Nesting debris under solar panels traps heat and moisture — creating conditions that accelerate wear on your roof.
• Pigeons carry mites, bacteria and airborne pathogens — creating a health concern for your family.
• Solar panels covered in droppings can lose efficiency over time.
• The longer pigeons stay, the more difficult and costly the cleanup becomes. Early action makes the process simpler.
