Animal Guard Installation
KEEPING YOUR SOLAR PANELS AND WILDLIFE SAFE
Why You Need Animal Guard
Installing a solar system is a smart investment, but the process doesn't end with the installation. Without proper protection, animals such as squirrels, birds, and raccoons can turn your solar setup into a nesting site. This can lead to serious performance issues or expensive damage.
That's where animal guard comes into play. Professionally installed guards create a barrier between your solar equipment and unwanted wildlife, preventing damage before it occurs.
Common Solar Problems Caused by Animals
Chewed Wires: Squirrels and rodents gnaw through wiring, disrupting energy flow and creating electrical risks.
Nest Buildup: Birds and critters build nests under panels, trapping debris and increasing fire danger.
Dislodged Hardware: Persistent animal activity can loosen racking systems and mounting bolts.
Blocked Ventilation: Nesting can obstruct airflow, leading to overheating and reduced panel efficiency.
Damage to Roof and Panels: Animal movement and waste can wear down roofing materials and corrode panel components.
Repeat Damage: Without guards, even after repairs, animals often return and cause the same issues again.
What Makes Animal Guard So Effective
Solar panels naturally create a warm and sheltered space, making them a magnet for nesting animals. Standard installations leave just enough room underneath for critters to squeeze in. Once they are inside, it can be challenging to remove them and even harder to prevent them from returning without a proper barrier.
Animal guard effectively closes off this space with specialized screening that securely attaches around the perimeter of your panels, without damaging the equipment or voiding your warranty.
Another perk of animal guards is that solar systems, especially those equipped with animal guards, remain stable through storms, hail, heat, and snow. Unlike conventional gear, they’re designed for outdoor extremes and need very little maintenance.

Our team has extensive experience retrofitting guards on existing systems and incorporating them into new installations.
