Mesh barrier
Solar Panel Critter Guard in Robbins, IL
Close the open space beneath your modules with a mesh barrier that attaches without drilling.
Why the Space Under an Array Attracts Animals
Rooftop modules are mounted a few inches above the roof surface. That space is sheltered, shaded and hard for predators to reach, which makes it appealing to pigeons for nesting and to squirrels for shelter. Nesting material and debris collect there and hold moisture against the roof, and animals can damage exposed wiring. A critter guard closes the space. It is a mesh barrier fastened around the perimeter of the array with clips, so nothing is drilled into the modules themselves. Solar Panel Removal Robbins installs critter guard on its own or at the end of a detach and reset. Adding it during a reset is efficient, because the array is already being worked on and the area beneath it is open. If animals are already nesting, the nesting material and debris are removed first, so the barrier does not seal anything in. In Robbins and the surrounding communities, pigeons are the most common reason homeowners ask about it. The approach is the same for any animal: clear the space, close the perimeter and keep it closed.
