BUDDYFLOW™ is the new patented barrier for closing the gap between the roof and the photovoltaic panels.
PREAMBLE
The roof of houses is usually an interesting refuge for pigeons attracted by heat loss through the roof and chimneys.
In the case of roofs with photovoltaic systems, the heat accumulated during the day by the panels through solar radiation provides additional comfort and shelter for pigeons, which tend to inhabit the roof even in winter.
Pigeons are in fact encouraged to stay both on the warm surface of the photovoltaic panels and in the niche between the panels and the roofing underneath to protect themselves from bad weather. The consequent need to use aggressive and abrasive cleaning products will quickly lead to accelerated panel deterioration.
The nests and the abundant guano will then be washed away by rainwater causing the obstruction of gutters and downpipes.

Brochure BUDDYFLOW™
DESCRIPTION
BUDDYFLOW™ is a specific and indispensable barrier, patented, to permanently and quickly close the gap between the roof pitch and the photovoltaic panels.
This space allows pigeons to find a convenient, protected place to nest and spend the night, creating a number of inconveniences, including the accumulation of guano and the consequent presence of pigeon parasites, pathogenic viruses, etc.
VERSATILE
This innovative barrier can be anchored to the aluminium frame of the photovoltaic panel not only with screws and silicone, but also with the specific double-sided adhesive tape 'BUDDYTAPE' that is resistant to weather changes, temperature fluctuations, water, snow and smog.
SELF-ADJUSTABLE
The main feature, which makes BUDDIFLOW™ a unique system of its kind, relates to its structure with parallel rods that are independent of each other and can slide freely. Once the barrier is placed on the perimeter frame of the panels, it self-adjusts itself to roof shape, without any effort.
The rods fall naturally by gravitational effect from the top downwards, autonomously aligning themselves with the underlying roof, following its shape.
TOTAL PROTECTION
One of the major features of BUDDYFLOW™ is the double protection that the barrier offers once installed.
The vertical rods close the niche under the panel and at the same time protect its perimeter edge.
ANIMAL WELFARE
BUDDYFLOW™ has been designed and developed to protect the welfare of the birds; the bent ends of the rods offer no sharp points of contact that could accidentally injure the birds during their attempts to settle.
PATENT 102023000021957
BUDDYFLOW™ is protected by patent, to make the barrier exclusive and unique, thus creating added value for the professional installer.
