SolarSpine PV-Spikes stainless steel – self-adjusting – 25 m – various heights

SolarSpine - self-adjusting PV spikes made of stainless steel - various heights - 25 meters

The single-row, self-adjusting PV spikes are specially designed for use on solar and photovoltaic modules. They effectively prevent pigeons and other birds from crawling under, nesting, and breeding between the roof and solar modules by providing a robust mechanical barrier.

The spikes have a rod thickness of 2.0 mm, a self-adjusting spike length of 110 mm (including strip 128 mm) or 170 mm (including strip 188 mm), and a regular spike spacing of 25 mm, with a length of 500 mm per element and high-quality manufacturing from 1.4301 stainless steel.

*The 50 cm elements are preferably mounted with the separately available clips (see here).*

Alternatively, the elements can also be glued in the traditional way (with a lot of time effort) using a special adhesive. However, this should preferably be done in the early morning hours on clean, grease-free modules for the best adhesion. The adhesive should be applied over the entire surface of the strip body to ensure a secure connection.

You can choose from the following variants:

• Rod length for heights from 50 mm to 110 mm
• Rod length for heights from 80 mm to 170 mm

Installation instructions / tips

• For quick and worry-free installation, we recommend using the separately available clips
• Alternatively, bonding is also possible; please observe the following points: 
  • Observe temperature: Do not bond on warm or hot modules. Start preferably in the early morning hours – especially in summer before the panels heat up.
    
  • Prepare surfaces: Thoroughly clean all surfaces before bonding. Use only alcohol-based cleaners or primers. The surface must be dust- and grease-free. Do not use solvents!
  • Ensure adhesion:
    • Bond fully – do not skimp on the adhesive.
    • Roughen profiles if necessary with a metal brush or sandpaper.
    • One cartridge can bond a maximum of 12 m fully.
    • The adhesive should ooze out sideways and through the holes.
    • After bonding, a roughly 2 mm thick adhesive layer must remain between the solar system and the spikes to allow the materials to expand.
    • During later disassembly, the modules remain undamaged.
      
      
• Alternative fastening: For older systems outside the warranty period, the PV spikes can also be screwed in using V2A screws (self-drilling). Be sure to check beforehand that no cables run behind the frame.

SolarSpine PV spikes (self-adjusting, untreated stainless steel) – professional pigeon control / bird deterrent for photovoltaic systems on commercial roofs, industrial halls, agricultural businesses, and residential buildings. The single-row stainless steel spikes (1.4301, rust-free) block pigeons and other birds from crawling under, nesting, and breeding beneath PV/solar modules, thus protecting cables, substructures, roofing membranes, and modules from dirt, feeding damage, and fire risk caused by bird droppings. Self-adjusting tips with 2.0 mm rod thickness, selectable height ranges 50–110 mm or 80–170 mm, and 25 mm tip spacing ensure seamless protection even on uneven roofs. Delivery: 25 m (50 elements of 50 cm each). Quick and module-friendly installation using PV clips (recommended), alternatively full-surface bonding or screwing for older systems outside warranty. Ideal for solar technicians, roofers, facility management, and professional pest prevention in the B2B sector.
