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.

I called Frank from Animal Control Wildlife Removal Services after realizing I had a rodent issue which needed immediate action in Keansburg NJ. I’d been hearing something in the roof moving around for weeks and it got so bad that something chewed right through my piping cause a major leak in one of the bedrooms. I explained everything to Frank over the phone and he was able to get me an appointment within the same week! Franks team arrived on my property and assessed everything in detail, taking the time to answer my many questions/concerns. They confirmed it was a squirrel hiding out in my roof causing the noise and issues. The work they did was transparent and documented every step of the way. I was provided with inspection findings, and any recommended corrective work. After agreeing on the service charge, Frank’s team got to work, setting up camera monitoring of the areas in question. They set up a one-way exclusion device that successfully got the squirrel out of the roof. Once the squirrel was out of the roof, the team secured the holes and openings on the roof, even cutting the tree branches outside my home near the roof to prevent further rodent access. Frank and his team are very professional and highly effective. I would recommend their services 10/10 to anyone in need of animal control experts in the Keansburg NJ area!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Haider, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re glad we were able to figure out what was going on in the roof and get the squirrel out before the damage got any worse. The camera monitoring, one-way exclusion, sealing, and trimming back the nearby branches were all important parts of making sure the problem was handled properly. We really appreciate your trust and recommendation, especially for anyone in Keansburg dealing with squirrel or wildlife issues. Glad we could help get things quiet again.

Hello everyone now I’m no wordsmith nor do do social media so bear with me please. On a Saturday morning about 2 am my wife says there’s something flying around in the attic which we use for storage etc but it’s used daily. I called every number frantically and by all means I’m a man’s man but that little bat owned the house lol. So Frank aka Batman as I got em in my contacts came twice. First couldn’t find it he left said give me a call if you see it and I’ll come back. So about 5 or 6 hrs later Frank came in and took care of business. This guy cares about the animals and he’s very knowledgeable about the business he’s in. Thank you Frank and seriously thank you again.
Response from the owner:Hi Mike, This one definitely made us smile. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review, and I have to admit, “Batman” is a pretty good contact name. We’re glad Frank was able to come back out and get the bat handled safely. We really appreciate you recognizing the care he puts into the animals as well as the job itself.

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.
