Solar Panel Bird Proofing

Homeowners with solar panels, solar installers who want a trusted referral partner, and property managers with commercial rooftop systems.

Fixed price per system based on the number of panels or the length of the edge, with extra for clean-out. Solar installers may pass on repeat work.

• Safe roof work and good balance
• Neat, careful installation
• Measuring and quoting
• Building relationships with installers

• Roof work is high risk, check your state's workplace safety rules and required training
• Public liability insurance, and confirm it covers roof work and damage to panels
• Check that fixings won't void the panel manufacturer's warranty or break installer terms
• Native birds are protected, check your state's wildlife rules before removing any nest
• Seasonal and weather limits on roof work

Startup costs are typically estimated at around $1,500 to $6,000, depending on your mesh and clips, safety and access equipment, and insurance. Check that your cover includes roof work before buying materials.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,500 to $7,000, depending on how many jobs you complete and whether installers refer work to you. These are revenue estimates, before materials, insurance and other costs.

Things to check: your state's workplace safety rules and required training for roof work, public liability cover that includes panel damage, whether fixings could void a manufacturer's warranty, and state wildlife rules because native birds are protected.
