A New Era of Solar Bird Proofing: Industry Leaders Unite to Teach the Trade

LEVEL UP IN BUSINESS BY OFFERING SOLAR BIRD PROOFING SERVICES FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS

In recent years, solar panels have become one of the most common sights on rooftops across Australia. But as solar uptake grows, so does one of its most frustrating problems: birds nesting under solar panels. For homeowners, it’s a health hazard and a costly issue. For tradespeople, it’s an opportunity.

That’s why Solar Shine Australia has teamed up with Vexo Bird Proofing Solutions and Globe Pest Solutions to launch an educational campaign designed to equip service providers with the skills, tools, and knowledge they need to tackle solar bird proofing — the right way.

This isn’t just another DIY guide. It’s a step-by-step education series created by some of the most experienced operators in the field, culminating in a free webinar masterclass designed specifically for solar cleaners, pest controllers, roofers, gutter cleaners and handymen — anyone who currently installs bird proofing, or is thinking about adding it to their business.

Why We’re Doing This

Birds nesting under solar panels can cause serious damage — from fouling and corrosion to fire risk and degraded system performance. But in the rush to solve this growing problem, we’ve seen too many trades using the wrong mesh, rushing installs, or overlooking key safety steps.

The goal of this series is to change that. By pulling back the curtain on what really works — and what doesn’t — we want to help Aussie businesses offer solar bird proofing that’s safe, effective, and professionally delivered.

At Solar Shine Australia, bird proofing has become one of our fastest-growing service lines. We’ve seen firsthand how it can transform not only a solar system’s performance, but a business’s revenue stream. And we believe more trades should have access to the right tools and training to do it well.

What to Expect from the Series

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing real-world tips, product spotlights, and behind-the-scenes know-how on our social media channels. You’ll hear directly from experienced installers, see product comparisons (including the pros and cons of different solar bird proofing mesh options), and get insights on everything from pricing to safety.

Then, to tie it all together, we’re hosting a free live webinar masterclass that walks you through:

• The tools and products we recommend
• Proven installation techniques
• How to price and package your service
• Safety must-knows for working at heights and around solar
• How to confidently sell bird proofing to your clients

Whether you’ve already been offering bird proofing for years or you’re just starting to explore it, the webinar will give you the knowledge and confidence to take things to the next level.

Who It’s For

This series is for the boots-on-the-roof professionals. The people who are already cleaning panels, clearing gutters, installing solar, or handling pest issues. If you’re in any of these trades, chances are you’ve already come across a solar bird problem — or you will soon.

This is your chance to learn from the best, avoid the common mistakes, and start solar bird proofing the smart way. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real advice from real people doing the work every day.

Let’s Level Up the Industry

We believe solar bird proofing is more than just a niche service — it’s a critical part of maintaining the performance and longevity of solar systems across Australia. And when it’s done right, it’s a win for everyone involved.

We’re excited to share what we’ve learned, and to help raise the standard across the board — one install at a time.
