🦔 Critter Guard
Keep squirrels, birds, and rodents out of your solar array.
Texas wildlife loves the shade and warmth under solar panels — which leads to chewed wires, nests, and production loss. Critter Guard installs a custom steel mesh barrier around your array perimeter to keep pests out permanently. From $399.

The Problem
Why critters love your array.
Solar panels create a shaded, weather-protected cavity roughly 4 inches tall on your roof. That's prime real estate for squirrels, grackles, pigeons, rats, and raccoons — especially during Texas summers. Once they move in, you get:
- Chewed DC wiring — fire risk and production loss
- Nests blocking ventilation — panels overheat, efficiency drops
- Droppings & debris — shading & corrosion
- Voided warranty claims — some manufacturers exclude rodent damage
The Solution
Custom steel mesh barrier
Rigid galvanized steel mesh cut to your array's exact footprint, secured under panel clips with UV-stable fasteners. Invisible from ground level. Rated for 20+ years.
- Same-day installation for most residential homes
- Works with any panel brand
- Doesn't void panel warranty
- Includes inspection & debris clearing
