Trusted Brisbane specialists for pigeon proofing solar panels, nest removal, solar panel cleaning and 304 stainless steel mesh installation.
Pigeons don't just nest and leave. They establish permanent colonies, can damage wiring, and create fire hazards — and the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets.

Stage 1
A pair of pigeons identify the gap beneath your solar panels as a warm, sheltered nesting spot. No visible damage yet — but the problem has already begun.
Stage 2
Nesting materials — twigs, feathers, and debris — pile up under your panels. Airflow is blocked, efficiency drops, and parasites like mites move in.
Stage 3
The flock expands. Droppings corrode panel surfaces and roof materials. Pigeons chew through wiring insulation — causing electrical faults and posing serious safety risks.
Stage 4
Dry nesting materials are highly flammable. Damaged wiring can arc and spark. At this stage, repair and remediation costs far exceed what a professional bird-proof install would have cost.
* The damage progression shown is illustrative. Bird activity and severity varies by flock size, roof type, location, and season. Early intervention is always more cost-effective. Get a professional assessment →
The longer they nest, the more damage they cause — to your panels, your wiring, and your wallet.
The Standard Others Don't Meet
Harry and Heath built this company because they were sick of seeing cheap mesh, corroded clips, and shoddy installs. Every job reflects that frustration.
We use epoxy-coated 304 grade stainless steel — engineered for Australia's climate. No cheap galvanised mesh that corrodes within two years.
Every installation uses non-penetrative clip systems. Your roof, panels, and warranty all stay completely intact.

No. Our non-penetrative clip system attaches to the panel frame without drilling into panels or the roof. This means your solar panel manufacturer warranty and roof warranty remain completely intact.
Most residential installs are completed in 2–4 hours. Larger systems or combined cleaning jobs may take a full day. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we provide your quote.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the mesh or clips, and any defects from our installation. To maintain warranty coverage, panels must be professionally cleaned and inspected at least every 24 months.
We recommend at least once every 12 months for most Brisbane homes — more often in areas with heavy dust, pollen, or tree coverage. Dirty panels can lose 15–30% of their energy output, so regular cleaning pays for itself quickly.
Yes. We service all of Greater Brisbane including Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe, the Bayside suburbs, and the Gold Coast. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just reach out — team@shinepanelcare.com
Almost certainly. Pigeons are highly territorial and will return to the same nesting spot year after year. The only reliable long-term solution is physical exclusion — blocking access with quality mesh. Repellents and deterrents provide temporary relief at best.
