Birds and debris, blocked
Solar Panel Critter Guard in Alsip
A clip-on mesh barrier seals the space under your panels against pigeons and debris, without a single hole drilled.
Why Birds Love Your Solar Array
Here is what is going on up there. Your panels sit a few inches above the roof. That leaves a shaded, sheltered pocket that stays dry in the rain. To a pigeon, it is ideal. Birds settle in, build nests and leave droppings. Over time that material piles up, holds moisture against the roof and sits on the wiring. Leaves and twigs blow in and stay. Squirrels may show up next and chew on what they find. None of it is good for the roof or the system. A critter guard closes that pocket. A tough wire screen wraps the outer border of the array and hooks onto the module frames using purpose-built fasteners. No holes go into the panels or the roof. Air still flows underneath and rain still drains away, but birds and debris stay out. If nests are already there, we clear what we can reach first, so nothing gets trapped behind the mesh. The easiest time to add a guard is during a detach and reset, when the panels are going back onto a new roof. Arrays that are not coming down can get one too. In Alsip, with plenty of mature trees and nearby rooftops, it is a common request.

Three Steps, Then No More Pigeons
Tell us what you notice
Cooing, scratching, droppings or debris. We ask about the array size, take a look and give you a firm price.
We clean out underneath
When install day comes, we pull reachable nesting and leaves from beneath the modules.
We fit the guard
The screen wraps the whole border, hooked onto the frames and cut to fit. Then we walk you around the result.
