Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @65john. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about pigeons.
Pigeons are notorious for taking shelter under solar panels, which can cause droppings, noise, and even damage to wiring. To stop them, you want to make it physically difficult for them to access the space and make it less attractive for nesting. Installing mesh or wire barriers along the edges of your panels is often the most effective method. Some people use bird spikes or angled metal strips, but be careful to ensure any fix doesn’t interfere with panel performance or maintenance access. Regularly checking for early signs of nesting and keeping the area clean also helps deter them.
For more detailed strategies, check out this discussion on How to prevent pigeons nesting under solar panels, which has some great advice, and also this best Advice article on How do you keep pigeons away?
Please let me know if you have any questions.
