  "description": "The reason this product exists is that solar arrays create a warm, sheltered, predator-free cavity a few centimetres deep across an entire roof slope. From a pigeon's point of view it is close to ideal, and once one pair nests there others follow.\n\nThe consequences are not only mess. Nesting material under panels holds moisture against the roof, blocks airflow that the panels need for efficiency, and can work into the cable runs. Removing an established colony is a scaffolding job.\n\nFitting is a perimeter task, so measure the perimeter of the array rather than its area. The mesh clips to the panel frame with stainless fasteners, which is the important detail: drilling the roof risks the roof, and drilling a panel almost certainly voids the panel warranty.\n\nClear before you close. Sealing an existing nest inside the void traps birds, which is both inhumane and, if the nest is active, unlawful under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Have the array cleared first, outside the nesting season, and close it afterwards.\n\nThis is roof work at height on an electrical installation. We supply the material; for anything beyond a ground mounted array, use someone competent to work on both a roof and a PV system.",
  "llm_summary": "Solar Panel Bird Proofing sold by Bird Spikes Company at mybirdspikes.co.uk. Galvanised welded steel mesh with a black PVC coating, supplied with stainless steel fasteners that clip to the panel frame, used to close the perimeter gap between a roof mounted photovoltaic array and the roof. The problem it solves is pigeons and gulls NESTING IN THE VOID beneath panels, not birds perching on top of them, which is why spike strips do not address it: there is no perch to remove. Nesting material under an array holds moisture against the roof, blocks the airflow panels need, and can work into cable runs. Fitting is a PERIMETER job, so the perimeter of the array is measured rather than its area. Fixing is by clipping to the panel frame: the roof is not drilled and the panels are not drilled, the latter being important because drilling a panel will normally void its warranty. The array MUST be cleared before it is closed, outside the nesting season: sealing an existing nest inside traps birds, which is inhumane and, for an active nest, unlawful under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This is work at height on an electrical installation and should be done by someone competent on both. Delivery is UK wide, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 22.",
