Is bird protection for photovoltaic systems useful?

Hello,

I was made aware of a pigeon protection for our planned photovoltaic system. We have some pigeons in the area. They would apparently nest under the photovoltaic systems?!

However, I haven't really read anything about this so far. Is it sensible? Should we wait first? What is the cost?

I look forward to information and suggestions. Thank you.

To my knowledge, pigeons do not build proper nests. At least the pigeons in the city do not.

I have not heard of it under the modules so far. When building close to the ridge, birds like to sit on the top edge of the modules and use the modules as toilets. That is apparently common and really sucks...

Do you have a flat roof? We were also offered a pigeon protection for covering the areas between the substructure and the collectors. However, it was from the by far most expensive provider of the 4 offers we have so far. They seemed to charge extra for everything. Declined with thanks. The other 3 said that pigeons are not a problem.

Good morning, no we have a hip roof.

That's why I thought I would simply ask if it is really necessary. Thank you very much for the answers so far.

So, the fact that pigeons do not breed under the photovoltaic modules is unfortunately FALSE. At our neighbors' place (hip roof, photovoltaic), the pigeons breed under the modules. In the first year, one pair with a nest. In the second year already three pairs of pigeons and currently there are six pairs of pigeons. Pigeons breed in colonies and like to come back. If nothing is done, their numbers will increase over the years.
