Solar Panel Critter Guards, done with precision
Critter guards stop squirrels, rats, raccoons and other small animals from getting under the array, where they chew wire insulation and leave nests. The guard is a durable mesh skirt fitted along the open gap beneath the panels, secured with clips so nothing is drilled through the roof or panels. We check the area first for existing animals, nests and gnawed wires, and clean out what we find. Guards protect wiring, which can be expensive to repair, but they work only when fitted without gaps, so corners and roof transitions get careful attention. They are not a trap, and we do not remove live animals; if one is present, wildlife control should handle it before we install the guard.

Common questions about solar panel critter guards
Can you remove animals living under my panels?
No. If animals are present, wildlife control should remove them first, and then we can clean up and install the guard.
Does it block airflow?
The mesh is open, so air still moves. It keeps animals from entering the gap.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
It depends on dust, trees, nearby construction and bird activity. Many owners clean once or twice a year, and some sites need it more often. We can look at your array and suggest a schedule.
Will cleaning damage my panels or void my warranty?
We use soft tools and cleaning methods suited to panel glass, and we do not use harsh abrasives. Warranty terms vary by manufacturer, so check yours or ask your installer if you have concerns.
