Bird Proofing Solar Panels to Prevent Nesting & Damage

Bird proofing solar panels is essential for preventing pigeons, starlings, and other birds from nesting underneath your array. Birds are one of the most common causes of solar panel issues, as they can build large nests that trap moisture, block airflow, and create unsanitary conditions.

Bird droppings and nesting debris are highly acidic and can damage roofing materials, panel mounts, and surrounding areas over time. In addition, nests often attract other pests, compounding the problem. Without bird-proofing, these issues tend to worsen season after season.

Our bird-proofing solutions use professionally installed mesh barriers that fully block entry points without harming birds or interfering with solar production. Once installed, birds can no longer land, roost, or nest under the panels—forcing them to relocate safely.

Bird proofing is both a preventative and corrective solution. Whether you already have birds nesting or want to prevent the problem before it starts, installing critter guards is the most reliable way to protect your solar panels long term.

Solar Panel Nest Removal & Debris Cleanup Services

If animals are already nesting under your solar panels, proper nest removal is the first step before installing any protective system. Birds and rodents bring sticks, insulation, leaves, and waste that can create health hazards and damage your roof and panels.

Our solar panel nest removal services include carefully removing all nesting materials, debris, feathers, and droppings from beneath the array. We take care to protect your panels, mounting hardware, and roof during the process.

After cleanup, we inspect the area for signs of damage and recommend installing critter guards to prevent animals from returning. Without permanent protection, nests often reappear within weeks.

Professional nest removal restores airflow, reduces odors, and eliminates moisture buildup—creating a safer environment for your solar system to operate as designed.

Solar Panel Critter Guard Installation in Denver

Solar panel critter guard installation is the most effective way to protect your solar investment from birds, squirrels, pigeons, and other wildlife. Once solar panels are installed, the gap beneath them becomes an ideal nesting environment—warm, sheltered, and protected from predators. Without proper protection, animals can quickly move in and cause serious damage.

Critter Guard Denver specializes exclusively in installing professional-grade critter guard systems designed for residential solar arrays. Our installations seal the entire perimeter of your solar panels using durable, weather-resistant mesh that prevents animals from accessing the underside of the system. The mesh is discreet, strong, and designed to allow proper airflow so your panels continue operating efficiently.

We do not use temporary clips or low-quality materials that loosen over time. Our systems are built to last through Colorado’s extreme weather conditions, including snow, ice, wind, and intense sun exposure. Proper installation ensures long-term protection while preserving the appearance and performance of your solar panels.

Serving homeowners throughout the Denver metro area, our critter guard installation services are fast, clean, and designed to deliver permanent results.

Squirrel & Rodent Protection for Solar Panel Wiring

Squirrels and rodents pose a serious risk to solar panel systems due to their tendency to chew. Electrical wiring beneath solar panels is particularly vulnerable, and damage can lead to system shutdowns, electrical faults, and even fire hazards.

Rodents often chew wiring to sharpen their teeth or access nesting materials. Once a single wire is compromised, your solar system’s performance can be affected—or completely disabled. In many cases, homeowners don’t realize there’s damage until their system stops producing energy or triggers an alert.

Critter Guard Denver installs protective barriers that prevent squirrels and rodents from accessing wiring and junction boxes beneath your panels. By sealing the perimeter, we eliminate the opportunity for animals to reach critical components.

Rodent protection is especially important in areas with mature trees, open space, or nearby wildlife activity. Installing guards early can save thousands of dollars in repair costs and protect your home from unnecessary risk.
