Solar panels provide an enticing site for pigeons looking for shelter and a safe place to build a nest.
Pigeons often use rooftops gutters roof overhangs and even window trims to build nests.
The space under solar panels is almost ideal for nesting so it s not surprising that pigeons and other pest birds are attracted to it.
