Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bird proofing your solar panels.
Does bird proofing damage panels?
No. The mesh attaches to the panel frame using a non-penetrative hook and washer, so there's no drilling and no damage to the panels or roof. It seals only the perimeter gap and doesn't shade the cells.
How much does it cost?
Kits start at $129 for the galvanised steel option and $219 for the marine-grade 316 stainless option. Both include the hook and washer fixings, UV cable ties and a guide, and both ship free Australia-wide.
Galvanised vs stainless — which should I choose?
Choose galvanised steel ($129) for inland or dry climates as the best-value option. Choose 316 stainless ($219) if you live near the coast or in salty air, where the marine-grade alloy resists corrosion far better.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. Each kit is flat-packed and DIY-friendly with everything in the box. Most homeowners finish a standard system in 2–3 hours using basic tools — the hook and washer attach to the panel frame with no drilling into the roof.
Will the mesh reduce airflow?
No. The mesh seals the perimeter gap to keep birds out while still allowing air to circulate under the panels, so your array keeps running cool and efficient.
How long does it last?
The mesh is UV-stabilised and built for the harsh Australian sun, backed by a 10-year warranty. The 316 stainless option offers the longest service life in coastal conditions.
Do you really ship free Australia-wide?
Yes — every kit ships free to every state and territory, including regional and remote areas, with tracking and no minimum order. Orders dispatch within 1–2 business days.
