Bird Proofing for Solar Panels
Birds, squirrels, and rodents nest under solar panels and destroy wiring, reduce production, and damage your roof. We install critter guard, remove existing nests, and protect your system long-term.

What Birds & Rodents Do to Solar Systems
The gap between your solar panels and your roof is the perfect shelter. What starts as nesting becomes damage that costs far more than prevention.
Chewed Wiring & Short Circuits
Rodents chew through solar wiring, creating short circuits that kill production and pose a fire risk. Exposed conductors under panels are easy targets.
Production Loss from Droppings
Bird droppings block sunlight and reduce production by 20–30%. Unlike dust, droppings are concentrated and acidic — they don’t wash away with rain.
NestingMaterial Buildup
Nests trap moisture against your roof, accelerating shingle deterioration. Over time this causes leaks, mold, and structural damage underneath the array.
Repeat Infestations
Once birds find your panels, they come back. Pigeons are habitual nesters— without physical barriers, cleaning alone won’t solve it.
Th is isn’t a nuisance — it’s a system threat. Bird and rodent damageis one of the most common and preventable causes of solar system failure in Colorado.
Our PRocess

Customer Reviews
"Where do I start? Amazing work. Great detail. No one else will service my solar panels, only this company! Great customer service. Goes the extra mile to make sure you are well taken care of. This guy was on my roof mid day while temps were scorching and got the job done in a timely manner. Even said he is going to come back to clean the gutters and everything. No more pigeon nests! Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend"
"Cannot recommend this company enough! Nick came the same day I called and gave us a free estimate. He scheduled very quickly and was super efficient. Very communicative as well. The install itself is very professional and looks really clean. Will always recommend them moving forward. Thank you for the 10/10 work."
"These guys too care of the pigeon problem that had developed under my solar panels, cleaned my gutters, put up critter guard, and gave the panels a good cleaning. They charged me a fair price, provided excellent customer service, and were 100% transparent about the process."
