INDEX: Why bird-proof solar panels? The impact of bird’s behavior on solar panels Quantifying the impact of bird droppings on solar panels Mitigation strategies Solar Panel’s bird-proofing with lasers For optimal performance and longevity of your solar panels, effective bird-proofing is crucial. Extensive research has highlighted the significant impact of birds, particularly their droppings, on solar panel efficiency. The accumulation of bird droppings obstructs sunlight from reaching photovoltaic cells, resulting in reduced electricity generation. This obstruction not only decreases efficienc ..read more
