For the past few years it was just two pigeons roosting on the roof and I could ignore it. But now they seem to have attracted a whole flock of 14 pigeons. I cleaned the gutters recently - lots of poop and in two weeks they are filling up rapdly again. They are pooping all over the solar panels too. I cleaned them but still noticed a drop in production for my old system which is linked in series. I assume if the pigeons are on one panel it reduces the production for all of the panels in that strong. On my new system (which I added in advance of getting the Leaf) each panel has a microinverter so it is not as much of an issue.
My question is if anyone else with solar panels has this problem with pigeons finding it an attractive place to roost and how did they get rid of the pigeons? Given the area of the roof taken up by the panels I think it would be impractical to lay strips of the spikes around them. Thanks!
