Solar Panel Critter Guard Installation

Stop birds and rodents from nesting under your panels. We install durable critter guard mesh that protects your wiring, roof, and production.

Quick answer

A solar panel critter guard is a galvanized mesh barrier clipped around the perimeter of a rooftop array to keep pigeons, squirrels, and other rodents from nesting underneath. R&R Solar Roofs installs critter guard across Utah to prevent chewed wiring, droppings, and roof damage—without drilling new holes in your panels.

The gap under your solar panels is a perfect, sheltered nesting spot for pigeons and squirrels—and once they move in, they chew wiring, foul your roof, and can knock out production. Critter guard seals that gap with a clean, durable mesh barrier so wildlife stays out and your system stays protected.

What's Included

Galvanized Steel Mesh

Rust-resistant mesh clipped to the panel edges—strong enough to keep rodents and birds out for the long haul.

No Panel Damage

We attach with specialized clips, never drilling into your panels or voiding warranties.

Nest & Debris Cleanup

We remove existing nests, droppings, and debris before sealing the array.

Whole-Array Protection

The full perimeter is enclosed so there are no gaps for critters to exploit.

R&R is my new solar company! My original solar company went out of business. When I had my roof replaced, they had R&R Solar handle the removal and replacement of my panels. They were professional and quick.
