Birds and leaves kept out
Solar Panel Critter Guard in Markham, IL
A quiet fix for cooing, scratching and leaf piles under your solar. Clipped on, never drilled.
Cooing Overhead? It Is Probably Coming From Under the Solar.
The gap under rooftop solar is shady, dry and out of reach. Pigeons love it for nests. Squirrels love it for hiding and, now and then, for gnawing on wires. Leaves blow in and pile up, keeping the shingles damp. Usually the first clue is noise, droppings or a bird flying out from under the edge. A critter guard settles it. It is a mesh border fitted around the outside of your solar and fastened with clips, so the modules are never drilled. Solar Panel Removal Markham puts critter guard on by itself or as the last step of a detach and reset. That last step is a lovely time to do it, since the solar is already being worked on and the gap underneath is wide open. If birds have already settled in, the nests and leaves are cleared out first, so nothing ends up shut inside. In Markham and the towns nearby, pigeons are the usual reason we hear from homeowners. No matter the animal, the answer stays the same. Empty the gap. Close the border. Keep it closed.
