Critter Guards for Solar Panels

Solar Panel Critter Guard Installation

Professional installation of galvanized or PVC-coated mesh barriers that seal the perimeter of your solar panels. This prevents birds, squirrels, pigeons, and rodents from nesting underneath panels while maintaining airflow, panel efficiency, and manufacturer warranties.

Bird & Animal Nest Removal Under Solar Panels

Safe removal of existing nests, debris, feathers, and animal waste from beneath solar arrays. This service is often paired with critter guard installation to eliminate current problems and prevent animals from returning.

Solar Panel Critter Damage Prevention & Inspection

Inspection of solar panels, wiring, and roof areas for signs of animal activity or damage. We identify vulnerabilities, recommend protection solutions, and install guards before costly repairs or electrical issues occur.

Solar panels are a smart investment—but they unintentionally create the perfect nesting space for birds, squirrels, pigeons, and other critters. The warm, sheltered gap beneath panels attracts wildlife looking for safety from predators and weather. Once animals move in, problems escalate quickly: damaged wiring, blocked drainage, roof deterioration, fire hazards, and unpleasant odors from nesting materials and droppings.

Critter Guard Denver specializes in preventing these issues before they become expensive repairs. We install professional-grade critter guard systems that seal the perimeter of your solar panels, blocking animal access without interfering with airflow or energy production. Our solutions are designed to be durable, discreet, and long-lasting—so you can protect your solar investment without sacrificing performance or appearance.

Many homeowners don’t realize there’s a problem until they hear scratching noises, notice birds flying in and out from under panels, or receive alerts that their solar system isn’t producing as expected. By that point, animals may have already caused damage. Installing critter guards early is the most effective and affordable way to avoid these risks entirely.

Serving homeowners throughout the Denver metro area, we focus exclusively on solar panel protection. That means faster installs, cleaner work, and solutions tailored specifically to residential solar systems. Whether you’re proactively protecting a new installation or addressing an active animal issue, Critter Guard Denver delivers peace of mind and long-term protection.

Our core service is professional solar panel critter guard installation designed to stop wildlife from accessing the underside of your solar array. We use high-quality, weather-resistant mesh that is securely fastened to your panels and roofline—creating a continuous barrier that animals can’t chew through, squeeze past, or pull loose.

Unlike DIY kits or temporary fixes, our installations are built to withstand Colorado’s changing weather conditions, including snow, wind, heat, and ice. The mesh allows proper ventilation beneath your panels, ensuring your system continues to operate efficiently while remaining fully protected.

Every installation begins with a thorough inspection of your solar array and roof perimeter. We assess panel layout, mounting style, roof pitch, and existing animal activity to determine the best approach. Our goal is not just to block entry points, but to eliminate all potential access areas so animals can’t return.

Critter guard installation is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your solar panels long-term. By preventing nesting and chewing damage, homeowners avoid costly electrical repairs, roof leaks, and panel downtime. Most installations are completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption to your home.

If you’ve invested in solar, protecting it is essential. A properly installed critter guard system helps ensure your panels continue producing energy efficiently while keeping unwanted wildlife off your roof for good.

Safe Bird & Animal Nest Removal Under Solar Panels

If animals are already nesting under your solar panels, removal is the first critical step before installing a protective barrier. Birds and rodents often bring sticks, insulation, leaves, and other debris that can trap moisture, block airflow, and damage wiring. In some cases, nesting materials can even pose a fire risk.

Critter Guard Denver provides safe and thorough nest removal services specifically for solar panel systems. We carefully remove all nesting materials, debris, and animal waste from beneath the panels, restoring a clean and safe environment before installing critter guards to prevent re-entry.

Our process prioritizes safety for your home, your roof, and the solar system itself. We take care not to disturb panels, mounts, or wiring during removal. Once the area is cleared, we inspect for signs of damage and recommend next steps if protection is needed.

Many homeowners attempt nest removal without installing guards afterward, only to find animals return within weeks. That’s why we strongly recommend pairing nest removal with a professional critter guard installation. This combination solves the immediate problem and prevents it from happening again.

If you’re hearing noises, seeing birds repeatedly landing near your panels, or noticing debris falling from your roof, it’s time to act. Removing nests early helps protect your solar investment and keeps minor issues from turning into major repairs.

Preventative Solar Panel Inspections & Long-Term Protection

Not all solar panel issues are obvious. In many cases, animals begin exploring and nesting under panels long before homeowners notice visible signs. That’s why preventative inspections are one of the smartest steps you can take to protect your system.

Critter Guard Denver offers solar panel critter inspections designed to identify early warning signs of animal activity, vulnerable access points, and areas at risk for future nesting. We look for gaps, loose edges, droppings, nesting materials, and wiring exposure—catching problems before they escalate.

Preventative protection is especially important for newly installed solar systems. Many installations are completed without critter guards, leaving panels exposed from day one. Adding guards early is significantly more affordable than repairing damage later.

Our inspections also help homeowners make informed decisions. Whether you need immediate protection or want to plan ahead, we provide honest recommendations based on your specific setup. There’s no guesswork—just clear solutions focused on protecting your solar investment.

Long-term solar performance depends on more than just the panels themselves. Keeping wildlife out ensures proper airflow, reduces maintenance issues, and helps your system perform as intended year after year. With professional inspections and preventative critter guards, you can enjoy the benefits of solar without the risks.
