DELOCK bird deterrent clip for photovoltaic solar modules, plastic, model 91335

The DELOCK bird deterrent clip for photovoltaic solar modules model 91335 is a plastic mechanical barrier designed to be attached to the edges and rails of solar panels. It creates a simple, passive obstruction that discourages pigeons and other birds from perching, roosting or nesting on module frames and mounting profiles. The design suits both retrofit and new installations and is intended for outdoor use on common PV mounting systems.

Advantages

This DELOCK clip provides a lightweight and low-profile solution that can be installed without altering the module surface. Manufactured from weather-resistant plastic, it resists outdoor conditions such as sun exposure and precipitation while requiring minimal maintenance. The clip is compatible with a range of common PV mounting profiles, allowing straightforward placement along module edges and rails to reduce bird activity near the array.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial rooftop photovoltaic arrays
• Ground-mounted solar installations with exposed module edges
• Retrofit applications where a non-invasive bird deterrent is needed
• Locations with moderate bird activity such as pigeons, starlings and sparrows

When it may not be suitable

This clip provides a mechanical, passive deterrent and is not a complete solution for large-scale infestations or highly aggressive bird species. In situations where birds can access the array from multiple angles or where persistent nesting occurs, additional measures such as netting, spikes designed for heavy-duty use, or professional bird control services may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Material: weather-resistant plastic
• Intended mounting: edges and rails of photovoltaic modules and common PV mounting profiles
• Function: passive mechanical bird deterrent to reduce perching and nesting
• Suitable environment: outdoor use, resistant to sunlight and moisture

How to use

Install the clip by attaching it onto the module frame edge or mounting rail where birds most frequently perch. Position clips at regular intervals along the affected length to create a continuous obstruction; spacing depends on local bird size and behavior but typically every 20–30 cm provides effective coverage for small to medium birds. No special tools or modifications to the module are required in most cases. Periodically inspect clips to ensure they remain secure and free of debris.

What to consider before purchase

• Check compatibility with your module frame and mounting profile cross-section.
• Assess the species and intensity of bird activity to determine if passive clips are sufficient.
• Plan the number of clips required based on array length and desired spacing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine placement along the entire exposed edge of modules with routine inspections. In cases of heavy nesting or access from above, consider supplementing these clips with complementary measures such as mesh or professionally installed deterrent systems.
