Pigeons beneath the array

Homer Glen Solar Panel Critter Guard With No Roof Penetrations

A mesh barrier fastened to the module frames shuts the hollow beneath your array to birds and blown leaves.

Closing the Hollow Beneath the Array

The hollow between a solar array and the shingles offers shelter from wind and rain, shade through the summer and safety from hawks and cats, which is precisely the combination pigeons look for when choosing where to raise their young. After a pair settles in, nesting material, droppings and leaf litter build up quickly, trapping moisture against the roofing in a place that cannot be cleaned without lifting the modules, and the occasional squirrel that follows brings teeth uncomfortably close to the wiring. Spikes, reflective tape and similar deterrents seldom solve the problem for long, because the hollow itself is still open. Solar Panel Removal Homer Glen closes it with critter guard. Our technicians first clear out the nests and debris already there, then run a non-penetrating mesh barrier along the full border of the array, fastening it to the module frames so that nothing is driven into the shingles. Air keeps moving beneath the modules, while birds and blown leaves are shut out. The barrier can be added to an existing array whenever it suits you, though the most efficient moment is during a detach and reset, when the modules are being remounted on new roofing that can then stay clean from its first day.

Scope of the Installation

A continuous barrier, fitted neatly along every side.

  • Border survey

    Each exposed side and opening around the array noted.

  • Clear-out

    Old nests, droppings and leaf litter removed from the hollow.

  • Frame-mounted mesh

    Fastened to the module frames, never into the shingles.

  • Continuous barrier

    Corners, row gaps and the full outer border closed.

  • Ventilation kept

    Air still moves freely beneath the array.

  • Option at remounting

    Fitted as the modules go back on after a reroof, if chosen.
