Pigeons over time, with nests, droppings and debris can cause considerable damage to solar panels. When pigeons build nests under solar panels, they attract other pests, such as squirrels and rodents. These critters can chew through a solar panels, roofs, and electrical wiring, which may lead to shorts, loss of service, and damage to structure.
