Critter Guard Installation
Squirrels and birds nest under solar arrays, chew wiring and leave a mess that ends in a repair bill. Critter guard closes the gap permanently.
Top Four Reasons Critters Get Under Panels
- The Gap Under Your Array Is Ideal ShelterPanels sit a few inches off the roof, shaded and dry. To a squirrel or a pigeon that is prime real estate, and Central Texas has plenty of both.
- Squirrels Chew WireRodents gnaw on conductor insulation and they do it out of sight. It shows up as an arc fault, a dead string, or in the worst case a fire risk on your roof.
- Nesting Material Blocks Airflow and DrainagePacked nests trap heat under the modules and dam up water that was supposed to run off, which is how the roof deck underneath starts to rot.
- Droppings Damage Roof and GlassAccumulated waste is corrosive, it is a genuine health issue around attic vents, and it shades cells wherever it lands.
Top Four Solutions to This Problem
- Clear Out What Is Living There FirstNests, droppings and debris come out before anything goes on. Screening an active nest in place solves nothing and creates a worse problem.
- Fit Guard Around the Full PerimeterPowder-coated mesh clipped to the module frame, no screws through your roof, sealed all the way around so there is no way back in.
- Inspect and Repair Chewed WiringWe check every conductor they could reach and replace damaged runs, because that is the part that actually turns into a hazard.
- Match the Guard to the AnimalSquirrels, birds and rats each need a different mesh and a different edge detail. We fit for what you have rather than one generic kit.
