The Defender Thistle\u00ae is especially useful for areas where pigeons are likely to perch, settle, or return. It is fitted to the top of the solar panels, helping to protect the leading edge and discourage pigeons from landing where they can cause problems.<\/p>\n<p>Solar panel pigeon proofing is essential when birds are nesting, perching, or gathering around solar arrays. Pigeons under or around solar panels can create noise, mess, blocked gutters, damaged cables, reduced airflow, and ongoing maintenance issues. A well fitted solar panel bird proofing system helps keep the area protected and reduces the chance of pigeons returning.<\/p>\n<p>In this installation, Defender Jaws\u00ae was used alongside Defender Thistle\u00ae for the leading top edge near the roofline, giving installers a practical solution for a more challenging pigeon pressure site. Where standard solar panel proofing may not be enough on its own, adding the Thistle\u00ae spike can help protect key areas and strengthen the overall bird control system.<\/p>\n<p>The video also highlights one of the biggest advantages of Defender Jaws\u00ae: installation speed. This job could have taken at least half a day using a more traditional method, but it was completed in around one hour using Jaws\u00ae and Thistle\u00ae. That is a major saving in time on site.<\/p>\n<p>For installers, less time on the roof matters. It can help reduce labour time, make jobs more efficient, and support safer working practices by limiting the time spent working at height. For customers, it means a faster, more cost effective solar panel proofing installation.<\/p>\n<p>Defender Jaws\u00ae has been designed to make solar panel pigeon proofing quicker and easier to fit, while Defender Thistle\u00ae adds extra protection for areas where the displaced pigeons will try to settle. Together, they create a smart combination for solar installers, pest control professionals, roofing contractors, and property owners who need a reliable way to stop pigeons perching on solar panels. This is a total game changer in the solar panel proofing world.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more product videos, installer feedback, installation guides, and bird control advice:<\/p>\n<p>@DefenderBirdSpikes <\/p>\n<p>Find out more about Defender Jaws, Defender Thistle, and our full range of professional bird control solutions here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdspikesonline.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.birdspikesonline.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ready to protect your solar panels from pigeons?<\/p>\n<p>Contact our team today for advice, product information, or help choosing the right bird proofing solution for your next project.<\/p>\n<p>Call: 01626 835055<br \/>Email: sales@jonesandson.co.uk<br \/>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdspikesonline.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.birdspikesonline.co.uk\/<\/a><br \/>Follow us: @DefenderBirdSpikes <\/p>\n<p>Thank you to @pestandproperty, Gareth and Steve for being absolute stars and sending us this invaluable testimonial video<\/p>\n<p>#defenderjaws #defenderthistle #solarpanelproofing #pigeonproofing #birdcontrol<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is how Defender Jaws\u00ae can be used with the DefenderThistle\u00ae spike on the top solar panel to stop pigeons perching.
