Add-Ons & System Upgrades

Maximise your solar investment with smart upgrades that improve performance, increase energy yield, and protect your system for years to come.

At S&P Renewables, we supply and install trusted add-ons such as SolarEdge Optimisers and Bird Netting Systems, giving homeowners and businesses complete control, efficiency, and peace of mind.

SolarEdge Optimisers

The Smart Solar Upgrade

Take full control of your system’s performance with SolarEdge panel optimisers — the ultimate solar PV upgrade.

In a traditional solar system, panels are connected in a series, meaning one shaded or dirty panel can impact the output of the entire array. SolarEdge technology solves this by allowing each panel to work independently, so every module produces energy at its maximum capacity — even in partial shade.

Comparison of solar energy systems showing the SolarEdge and typical systems, with the SolarEdge system maintaining 90% efficiency during shading, snow, and soiling, compared to 100% in ideal conditions and lower efficiency in shading and soiling in typical systems.

Key Benefits

1.Increased Energy Yield – each panel performs at its best, all year round.

2.Real-Time Monitoring – view system performance on your phone or computer.

3.Enhanced Safety – built-in features automatically reduce voltage for maintenance or emergencies.

4.Long-Term Reliability – backed by a 25-year warranty and supported by a leading global brand.

The SolarEdge monitoring platform provides clear, real-time insights into your system’s production and savings — helping you get the most out of your renewable energy investment.

Bird Netting & Solar Panel Protection

Having issues with nesting birds?

If pigeons or other birds have taken a liking to your solar panels, it’s more than just a nuisance. Nesting can cause long-term damage by blocking airflow, clogging gutters, and interfering with electrical cabling, all of which can reduce your system’s output and lifespan.

The Solution – Wire Mesh Protection from S&P Renewables

Our bird-proofing mesh system creates a neat, discreet barrier around your panels, stopping birds from nesting underneath while maintaining airflow and performance.

We recommend a durable wire mesh system that can be fitted using:

  • Non-intrusive clips – secure, drill-free, and warranty-safe.

  • Bolt-on fittings – ideal for challenging roof types or exposed locations.

Both options are easily removable for maintenance and designed to blend seamlessly with your roofline.

Prevents bird damage to wiring and roofing

  • Stops debris from affecting panel efficiency

  • Keeps your system cooler and performing at its best

  • Quick installation with minimal visual impact

Installed by our experienced team, bird netting is a simple and effective way to protect your panels and keep your solar system running efficiently.
