They help to prevent birds from getting trapped inside the solar panel system, which can be a hazard.Unfortunately, once pigeons have identified this and made a home under yours, they are unlikely to move on without bird-proofing the solar panels.

Installing spikes on ridge tiles is an option, and whether you do it or not is purely down to preference.
