The BirdBlocker BB85 85mm Solar Panel Bird Protection provides a professional and discreet solution for helping prevent pigeons and other birds from nesting beneath low-mounted solar PV panels.
Designed particularly for metal roofs, trapezoidal roofs, corrugated surfaces and ultra-low solar mounting systems, the BB85 features 85mm flexible fingers that form a protective barrier around the perimeter of the solar array.
Supplied as a 30 metre pack in convenient 500mm sections, the BB85 comes with pre-clipped stainless-steel fixings for quick and secure installation to compatible framed solar panels.
Solar Panel Bird Protection for Low-Mounted Systems
The sheltered area underneath solar panels can provide an attractive nesting location for pigeons and other birds.
The BirdBlocker BB85 creates a physical barrier around the edge of the solar array, helping prevent birds from gaining access beneath the panels while maintaining the ventilation space required by the PV installation.
85mm BirdBlocker Fingers
The BB85 features 85mm long fingers and is designed for installations with a maximum gap of approximately 80mm between the solar panel and mounting surface.
The fingers are interconnected by a supporting bridge, helping maintain their position and creating a continuous barrier around the solar array.
Ideal for Metal, Trapezoidal & Corrugated Roofs
The BirdBlocker BB85 has been developed specifically for lower-profile solar installations where larger 125mm or 200mm BirdBlocker versions may not be suitable.
It is particularly well suited to:
- Metal roof solar PV installations
- Trapezoidal sheet roofs
- Corrugated roof systems
- Low-profile solar mounting systems
- Direct-mounted solar panel systems
- Domestic and commercial PV arrays
30 Metre BirdBlocker Pack
Each BB85 pack provides a total of 30 metres of solar panel bird protection.
The BirdBlocker is supplied in 500mm sections, making it easier for installers to work around corners and changes in the perimeter of the solar array.
Pre-Clipped Stainless-Steel Fixings
The BB85 is supplied with pre-clipped stainless-steel mounting clips, helping make installation faster and more convenient.
The clip system securely attaches the BirdBlocker to compatible solar panel frames without the need to drill into or screw through the panel frame.
Maintains Solar Panel Ventilation
Correct airflow beneath solar panels is important for the long-term operation of a photovoltaic installation.
BirdBlocker helps prevent nesting material, twigs and debris accumulating beneath the array while still allowing air to circulate around the underside of the solar panels.
Keeping this area clear can also help reduce the risk of cable damage, contamination and maintenance issues caused by nesting birds.
UV-Resistant Recyclable HDPE
BirdBlocker BB85 is manufactured from black UV-resistant recyclable HDPE, providing a lightweight yet durable bird protection solution designed for long-term outdoor use.
The material is designed to withstand exposure to sunlight, frost and heat, while the black finish provides a discreet appearance beneath modern solar panel frames.
Compatible with Common Solar Panel Designs
The BB85 is designed for use with common framed solar panel designs, including traditional and box-design module frames.
Its low 85mm profile makes it particularly useful where the gap beneath the solar panel is smaller than would normally suit the BB125 or BB200 versions.

Choosing BB85, BB125 or BB200
Choosing the correct BirdBlocker size depends primarily on the distance between the solar panel frame and the roof or mounting surface.
The BB85 is designed for low-profile installations and covers gaps up to approximately 80mm. For installations with a larger space beneath the solar panels, the taller BB125 or BB200 BirdBlocker versions may be more suitable.
Installation Note
For effective bird protection, BirdBlocker should be installed continuously around all accessible edges of the solar PV array.
When installing on an existing solar system, check for active nests before beginning work and ensure installation is carried out in accordance with current wildlife legislation and appropriate working-at-height procedures.
Why Choose BirdBlocker BB85?
The BirdBlocker BB85 85mm Solar Panel Bird Protection System has been specifically developed for solar PV installations where the space beneath the modules is too small for conventional taller bird protection systems.
With its 85mm UV-resistant fingers, pre-clipped stainless-steel fixings and 30 metre pack size, the BB85 provides solar installers with a durable, professional and unobtrusive solution for protecting low-mounted solar PV arrays from nesting birds.
