Solar systems

The presence of pigeons, seagulls, or crows can reduce solar energy yields and damage solar panels through their droppings.

To prevent such damage, we offer a selection of products that can be used effectively to repel birds.

We offer customized solutions, both in the building sector, i.e. rooftop systems, facade systems and in-roof systems, as well as for large-scale systems on land and in water.

AVIX Autonomic Mark II

The Autonomic Laser is a device specifically designed for bird control, offering effective protection for large areas. It is user-friendly and delivers fast and lasting results. When birds approach, the laser triggers their natural flight instinct, as they perceive the laser beam as an approaching threat. The device easily connects and configures via Bluetooth using the AVIX Connect app. Unlike traditional bird deterrent methods, this technology does not lead to habituation, as the birds react instinctively. With regular use, birds will eventually perceive the area as unsafe and avoid it.

BirdAlert 2.0

As soon as the BirdAlert 2.0 system detects one of the bird species identified as pests, it immediately activates specific panic calls targeted at that species. This system utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and self-learning algorithms, allowing BirdAlert to continuously adapt its responses to the current situation. This ongoing adaptability significantly increases the efficiency of bird control. To deter birds as they approach, both the microphone and the speakers are mounted at the top of a mast.

Electrical systems for solar facades

Installing photovoltaic modules on facades is very similar to mounting them on roofs. To prevent damage from bird droppings and the associated loss of yield, it is important to protect both types of systems accordingly. We use discreet electrical systems to protect the modules, reliably preventing birds from landing on the facade frame. Good ventilation behind solar facades is also crucial for achieving higher yields. Therefore, it is important to take measures to prevent pigeons or other birds from getting behind the facade modules.

Solar spikes provide protection from shelter

Over half of all photovoltaic systems are affected by a problem with pigeons: these birds build their nests in the space between the solar panels and the roof. The warmth and dryness under the panels provide ideal conditions for pigeons. Nesting material and twigs obstruct natural ventilation from below, while pigeon droppings soil the solar panels, thus reducing the system's performance. Higher temperatures on the panels also lead to lower efficiency. Furthermore, the risk of fire increases. Adjustable solar spikes offer an effective solution for closing the gap between the solar panels and the roof surface in horizontal installations.
