EXACTLY. Exactly, exactly, exactly.
If you get solar panels, make sure that (1) either they lie close enough to your roof that birds can't get in there, or (2) that you have mesh fencing around them to keep birds out. You'll never hear a solar panel salesmen say this, but panels are bird magnets. We had a bird infestation of biblical proportions under our panels. These birds were way past merely building nests, they were putting in roads and schools and electing a planning & zoning committee, under my panels until we had them cleaned out. I thought they were going to take my house by eminent domain. It was disgusting. It was funny, but also very disgusting.
