Solar Panel Critter Guard in Oak Forest
Protect the wiring and equipment under your array with a mesh screen that keeps nesting birds and squirrels on the outside.
Protecting What Lives Under Your Panels
The space beneath a solar array holds more than shade, because that is where the wiring and connectors that keep your system producing are run, and it is also exactly the kind of sheltered, warm gap that pigeons and squirrels love to move into. Once they move in, nests and droppings accumulate, leaves collect alongside them, and the animals themselves can chew at wires that were never meant to be gnawed on. A critter guard closes off that space so your equipment is left alone. Solar Panel Removal Oak Forest fits a non-penetrating mesh screen that clips to the outer frames of the array, so nothing is drilled into your panels or your roof. Air continues to move freely underneath, but birds, squirrels and blown debris stay out. Fitting one while a detach and reset is underway works best, when the area under the array is completely open and can be cleaned before the screen goes on, though we can also fit one to an array that is staying in place after clearing what we can reach from the edge.
