Solar panels create a shaded and sheltered space beneath the array, which can attract pigeons, small birds, squirrels, and other animals looking for a place to nest. While it may seem harmless at first, animals living under solar panels can quickly lead to larger problems for both your system and your roof.

When animals nest under solar panels, they can create serious issues. Nesting materials can block airflow around the panels, animals may chew through wiring, and debris can damage roofing materials or create electrical concerns. In some cases, droppings and nesting debris can also collect around patios, walkways, and areas below the roofline.

At Supreme Solar, our Critter Solutions service focuses on humane removal and long term prevention. When necessary, animals are safely relocated and professional grade critter guards are installed around the perimeter of your solar array. These guards create a protective barrier that keeps animals out without affecting system performance or the appearance of your solar panels.

Installing critter guards helps protect your solar equipment, your roof, and your home from avoidable damage while extending the life of your solar system. If you’re hearing activity on your roof or suspect animals may be nesting under your panels, reach out to Supreme Solar and let our team address the issue before it becomes a larger problem.
