Why do PV-panels have to be protected against birds?
The output from the panels decreases when the natural ventilation beneath the panels is restricted by twigs and other nest material. The hotter the panels get, the lower the efficiency. There is even an increased risk of fire. There is also no more noise pollution from birds between the roof and the solar panels. The twigs may also cause scratches on the back sheet of the panel, resulting in earth leakage errors.
Birds simply should not get the chance to nest there.
