Keep the gap clear

Solar Panel Critter Guard in Richton Park

Are pigeons living under your array? A snug, clipped mesh seals the gap without a single hole in the modules or roof.

What Draws Pigeons to the Space Beneath an Array?

Because you have built them a perfect shelter. The space between your modules and your roof is shaded, sheltered from wind and dry when it rains. Pigeons find it quickly and settle in. Nests follow, then droppings, and over time that material piles up, traps moisture against the roofing and rests on the wiring. Wind carries in leaves and small sticks that never leave. Squirrels sometimes come next and chew on whatever is within reach. None of it does the roof or the system any good. A critter guard shuts that space off. A durable mesh is fitted snugly to the array's outline and fastened onto each module frame with purpose-made clips. It is non-penetrating, so neither the modules nor the shingles get a single hole. Ventilation and drainage under the array continue as before, while pigeons and blowing litter are shut out. Any old nests within arm's reach get pulled before the mesh closes, so nothing is sealed in. A reset is the smartest moment for it, since the array is landing on a clean roof anyway, but an array that is staying put can be fitted too. Around Richton Park, with mature trees and open fields nearby, it is a common request.

What Does the Install Include?

A tidy job that keeps the space under your modules clear.

  • Perimeter check

    Openings around the array measured and looked over for nests.

  • Cleanout

    Reachable nests and debris removed before fitting.

  • Tough mesh

    Cut to fit the outline of your array.

  • Frame clips

    Secured to the module frames with no drilling.

  • Roof left untouched

    No penetrations through your roofing at all.

  • Airflow preserved

    Ventilation and drainage under the array stay open.

  • Snug finish

    Trimmed to sit tight along every edge.

  • Pairs with a reset

    Easy to fold in during the reinstall.

How Does the Guard Go On?

  1. Tell us what you have noticed

    Cooing, scratching, droppings or leaves under the array. We ask about its size, inspect it and quote a firm number.

  2. Clear the space

    On install day, reachable nests and debris are removed from beneath the modules.

  3. Fit the mesh

    Mesh wraps the full outline, clipped onto each frame and trimmed snug. You see the finished work before we go.

Why Add a Critter Guard?

  • Nothing drilled

    Clips do the holding, so modules and roof stay whole.

  • Problem solved for good

    No entry point means no nest.

  • Easy with a reset

    Fitted while the array goes back up, it adds very little to the job.

  • Non-penetrating
  • Nests cleared
  • Airflow kept
  • Snug fit
