The BB200evo Reinforced BirdBlocker is a 30-metre reel anti-nesting barrier that stops birds — most commonly pigeons — from getting underneath solar panels. Made from a new reinforced plastic, the strip carries 200mm needle/finger tines connected by a bridging strip, giving BirdBlocker's manufacturer-stated 99% certainty that birds will not gain access beneath the array — the taller needle length suits installations with more clearance between the panel and the roof.
The box contains 30 × 1 metre lengths supplied with 250 fixing clips, enough to proof a substantial perimeter length in a single order. Unlike rigid mesh systems, BirdBlocker's needle design maintains airflow underneath the panels for optimal cooling and yield, while the connecting bridge between needles prevents birds squeezing through individual gaps.

Product Warranty
10-Year Warranty · No Impact on Panel Warranty
BB200evo carries a 10-year product warranty on the reinforced plastic material. Because the system requires no screws or drilling into the panel frame, the solar panel manufacturer's warranty is also retained.
Trina Vertex Panels Require a Special Clip
BirdBlocker cannot attach directly to the short edges of Trina Vertex panels using standard clips — a special BoxClip (sold separately) is required for these frames. Confirm your panel's frame type before ordering standard fixing clips.
Need a Shorter Version?
This is the 200mm needle-length version, suited to arrays with greater clearance between the panel underside and the roof. If your gap is smaller, the sister product BB125evo provides 125mm needle length instead.
Key Features
99% Bird Exclusion Rate
BirdBlocker's design offers a manufacturer-stated 99% certainty that birds will not gain access beneath the solar array, based on the connected-needle barrier design that leaves no gap wide enough for birds to pass through.
Reinforced Plastic Construction
The new reinforced plastic formulation makes the strip quick, lightweight and easy to install compared to heavier metal mesh systems, while remaining durable enough for a 10-year warranty.
Taller 200mm Needles for Greater Clearance
At 200mm, the needle length suits installations with a larger gap between the panel underside and the roof surface, where the shorter 125mm version would not reach the roofline effectively.
Maintains Ventilation & Panel Efficiency
Unlike solid barriers, the needle/tine design maintains optimal ventilation underneath the panel, helping preserve cooling airflow and system efficiency rather than trapping heat.
Reduces Fire Risk & Cable Damage
By preventing birds from building nests with branches and debris underneath the array, BB200evo reduces the risk of fire and protects DC cabling and the panel backsheet from nesting-related damage.
No Drilling — Warranty-Safe Installation
Fitted using clips only, with no screws or drilling into the panel frame, so the solar panel manufacturer's warranty is not affected by the bird-proofing installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much coverage does one box of BB200evo provide?
Each box contains 30 × 1 metre lengths, giving 30 linear metres of coverage in total, supplied with 250 fixing clips to install the full length.
Will BB200evo affect my solar panel warranty?
No. The system is fitted using clips only, with no screws or drilling into the panel frame, so the manufacturer's solar panel warranty is retained.
Is BB200evo compatible with Trina Vertex panels?
BirdBlocker cannot attach to the short edges of Trina Vertex panels using the standard clips included. A special BoxClip (sold separately) is required for these frames — see the BirdBlocker BoxClip range for the correct variant.
When should I choose BB200evo over BB125evo?
Choose BB200evo when there is a larger gap between the panel underside and the roof surface that the shorter 125mm needle version would not reach effectively. For tighter clearances, BB125evo is the appropriate choice.
Do I need the BirdBlocker Tool to install this product?
No — the BirdBlocker Tool is an optional accessory that speeds up clip fitting but is not mandatory for installing BB200evo. Standard clips can be fitted by hand.
Does the needle design reduce solar panel efficiency?
No — quite the opposite. Unlike solid nesting material, which blocks airflow, the needle/tine design maintains ventilation underneath the panel, helping preserve cooling airflow and therefore panel efficiency, while still preventing bird access.
