Next Phase Solar fits bird mesh around rooftop solar panels in Mackay. We clear out nests, droppings and anything under your panels, then fit 304 stainless steel mesh with a UV stable PVC coating around the whole perimeter. It costs $35 a metre plus travel to your area, with a $495 minimum, and you can book it online.
Birds nest in the gap under your panels. We clear it out and close every open side with mesh. Clipped to the panel frame. No drilling into your panels or your roof.
