PJ Solar Cleaning & Bird Proofing, a company based in Southern California, has launched a homeowner education initiative aimed at raising awareness about the maintenance needs of rooftop solar systems. The initiative, spearheaded by Deshawn "PJ" Phillips, known as the "King of Bird Proofing," targets families who have invested in solar energy.
Phillips' interest in maintenance began with his own solar system, which faced a significant issue after five years without cleaning. He received an approximately $1,000 electric true-up bill, prompting him to study what rooftop owners should monitor. This experience led to the founding of PJ Solar Cleaning & Bird Proofing in 2017.
One of the severe projects Phillips tackled involved a roof covered in pigeon droppings, feathers, eggs, and nesting debris beneath solar panels. The company documented the conditions before and after the cleanup, showing the extent of the problem. In one instance, the crew removed more than 28 bags of accumulated debris, estimating the total weight at 1,400 to 1,500 pounds. The company's efforts aim to educate homeowners about the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to prevent issues such as moisture, damaged insulation, or compromised connections, which can lead to electrical faults and potential fire hazards.
Phillips also highlighted the impact of other animals, such as squirrels and roof rats, which may enter open spaces beneath arrays. He explained that pigeon nesting is a common issue, and prevention and regular inspection are crucial. The company's professional solar panel cleaning service uses deionized water, without harsh cleaning chemicals, and cleaning frequency depends on the site, surrounding dust, bird activity, and manufacturer instructions. Phillips encourages homeowners to evaluate conditions roughly every six months.
The company's efforts have led to the launch of a new standalone platform, MedVioo Video Translator, which offers precise AI voice cloning, automated dubbing, and seamless multilingual video translation. This platform is designed to help creators, digital marketers, and global businesses with cross-border video production.
In addition, PJ Solar Cleaning & Bird Proofing has introduced Solar Barrier Protection for leaves and pine needles, along with gutter and roof valley cleaning services to remove accumulated debris while preserving needed panel ventilation. The company's installations are tailored to the roof and array, and they offer a five-year labor warranty subject to written terms and annual cleaning and inspection requirements.
The company's latest achievement is reaching the #1 spot on the Amazon USA Top 100 Christian Best Sellers chart with his single "You Were There," a powerful inspirational pop and worship anthem rooted in faith, survival, and spiritual connection.
