Solar panel critter guard installation for wildlife proofing in Monmouth County NJ
Solar panel critter guards help reduce access under the array after the active bird, squirrel, rodent, or wildlife issue is inspected.

Solar Panel Critter Guards for Birds, Squirrels, and Rodents

Under solar panels can be a protected, warm, and difficult-to-reach area. Birds may nest under the array, squirrels and rodents may bring debris near wiring, and raccoons or other wildlife may use the roofline around the solar system as part of a larger access route. Critter guards are meant to reduce that access without drilling through the solar panels themselves.

The right plan starts with inspection. We look for active animals, nesting material, droppings, chewing, roofline entry points, panel spacing, roof pitch, safe access, and whether cleanup or repair work is needed before installing mesh or bird guards around the panels.

How Solar Panel Critter Guard Service Usually Works

  1. Inspect the roof and array: We check the panel edges, nesting material, droppings, roof pitch, height, safe access, wiring concerns, and nearby roofline openings.
  2. Address active wildlife first: Guards should not trap birds, squirrels, rodents, or other animals under the panels. Removal timing depends on the species and site conditions.
  3. Clean and prepare the area: When practical, debris and nesting material are addressed before installing mesh or guard material.
  4. Install critter guards: The guard system is fitted around the panel perimeter to reduce future access while respecting the solar array and roof conditions.

We live in Princeton Junction and had a mother raccoon with her baby settled in our fireplace. I called Frank on Saturday at noon and he came out later in the afternoon that same day to help us, even though it was a rainy day. After successfully extracting the raccoons, Frank was kind enough to fix the entry point and also point out other areas on the roof that are vulnerable to wild animals. We will definitely use Frank to fix these areas as well. I highly recommend his services. Frank is very knowledgeable, skilled at his job and explains everything thoroughly.
Response from the owner:Hi Kim, Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re glad we could help with the raccoon family in your fireplace and get everything taken care of before it became a bigger problem. Finding and securing the entry point is just as important as the removal, and we’re happy we could also identify other vulnerable areas to help protect your home from future wildlife issues. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation, and we look forward to helping you with the rest of the wildlife proofing when you’re ready. Best The Team at Animal Control NY/NJ

Frank and his team came same day. I had some pests that were coming into my home from the outside. Frank identified thier entrance and exits points and started working on blocking it off same day. His experience and talent is top notch. He and his team know general construction which helps when you have holes that need to be sealed without ruining the home's facade. I have called them for another job as well 2 years ago. Both jobs required construction skills. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you Frank 🙂
Response from the owner:Hi Edoble2, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re glad we could quickly identify the entry points and get everything sealed up before the problem got worse. Having a background in construction allows us to make repairs that not only keep wildlife out but also preserve the appearance of your home. We truly appreciate that you’ve trusted us on more than one occasion. That means a lot to us. Thanks again for your continued support, and we’re always here if you need us in the future.

Frank was exceptional helping us with a squirrel problem. He made the trip out late at night in southern NJ, found the gaps, and setup a great system to trap the problem. All while my son was asking him a million questions and he was patiently answering. Value his expertise, attention to detail, and managing a problem that is not an exact science. Highly recommend Frank!
Response from the owner:Hi John, Thank you for the thoughtful review. We know squirrel problems aren’t always straightforward, so we’re glad we could get out there, find the entry points, and put together a plan that solved the problem. Frank also enjoyed answering your son’s questions. Future wildlife expert in the making! We really appreciate your trust and recommendation. If you ever need us again, we’re just a call away.

Solar Panel Critter Guards FAQ

What are solar panel critter guards?

Solar panel critter guards are roof-safe mesh or guard systems installed around the perimeter of a solar array to reduce wildlife access under the panels. They help keep birds, squirrels, rodents, nesting debris, and droppings from building up under the system.

Do critter guards help with birds under solar panels?

Yes. Bird guards and solar panel critter guards can help reduce nesting under panels, droppings on the roof, blocked drainage, and repeat bird activity. The right setup depends on panel spacing, roof access, nesting material, and the condition of the array.

Can squirrels or rodents damage solar panel wiring?

Squirrels, rats, mice, and other wildlife may chew, nest, or move debris around wiring and roof penetrations. If there is active animal activity, the site should be inspected before guards are installed so animals are not trapped under the panels.

How much do solar panel critter guards cost in Monmouth County?

Pricing depends on roof height, roof pitch, access, array size, number of panel edges, nesting debris, animal activity, cleanup needs, and whether repair or exclusion work is needed before the guard installation.
