Keep the birds out

Solar Panel Critter Guard in Harvey, IL

Pigeons living under your panels? Wire mesh around the edge shuts them out for good.

What's Living Under Your Panels?

Odds are it's pigeons. The space under rooftop panels is covered, dry and hard for anything else to get to, so birds love to nest there. Squirrels like it too, and they'll chew on wires while they're at it. Leaves and junk blow in and pile up, and that keeps your roof wet. A critter guard shuts it all out. It's a wire mesh that goes around the edge of your panels and clips on, so nobody's drilling into the panels themselves. At Solar Panel Removal Harvey, we put critter guard on by itself or tacked onto the tail end of a reset job. During a reset is the best time, since we're already working on the panels and there's room to get at everything under there. If birds have already moved in, we clean out the nests and the mess first, so you're not sealing it in. Around Harvey and the towns nearby, pigeons are why most folks call. It doesn't really matter what's under there, though. The fix is the same: clean it out, close it up and keep it closed.

What Comes With a Critter Guard Job?

Not complicated. Just done right.

  • A look around the edges

    We walk the whole edge and find the holes they're squeezing through.

  • Nests and junk cleaned out

    All the built-up mess gets hauled out ahead of the wire.

  • Clip-on wire mesh

    The mesh clips on. Nobody drills into your panels.

  • Corners closed tight

    Corners and seams fitted so they can't sneak back in.

  • Add it to a reset

    Easy to put on at the end of a detach and reset.
