One of the most inconvenient issues stemming from a solar panel system without a critter guard is the possibility of birds building a nest underneath your panels, which would lead to you having to pay to have the birds removed - and then install a critter guard. 

Or, if an animal chewed through your wires, it could put your entire system out of commission for a few days until you get it repaired.

But, the most dangerous possibility is that the buildup of dry vegetation underneath your panels could ignite due to faulty wires. What normally causes electrical fires is faulty or broken wiring, and with dry leaves stuck under your panel, any faulty wiring could lead to a dangerous fire. While this is a very rare issue, critter guards can help offer peace of mind. 

Homeowners' insurance typically does not cover damage caused by pests to your solar panels, but you might have some luck with the warranty from your solar panel installer or the manufacturer. However, warranties differ from company to company, so you could be stuck with footing the bill in the event that you need a repair.

Critter guards can be a worthwhile investment for your solar setup. They not only prevent potentially significant damage to your panels but also maintain a clean aesthetic for your roof. The availability of critter guards allows for solar installations in regions with abundant sunshine. Regardless of high squirrel and bird populations, installing critter guards will effectively protect your PV system from environmental harm.

Critter guards effectively keep rodents and birds away from your solar panels. They are also great at keeping leaves and other environmental factors out of your panels.

Rest assured, we stand behind the quality of our product by providing a lifetime warranty covering both the material and installation. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities.

The secret to cutting down on your electricity expenses is tied to minimizing how long your air conditioner (AC) needs to run to cool your household. During hot spells, particularly when outdoor temperatures hover around 85 degrees, the heat in your attic could escalate to nearly 135 degrees. By integrating a solar attic fan into your attic space, you can efficiently expel the hot air from your attic, enabling fresh outdoor air to flow through your living areas. As a result, this reduces the strain on your AC system. Consequently, you not only improve the comfort levels in your home but also witness a drop in your utility bills, extend the lifespan of your HVAC or AC unit, and enhance the durability of your roof.

That depends on the amount of attic space available and the size of the fan that would be most suitable for your residence. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment in collaboration with you to pinpoint the ideal solution for your home.

We recommend that the average customer clean their solar panels four times per year, ideally once per season. By following this routine, you can ensure that your panels maintain optimal production levels throughout the year. Regular cleanings also help prevent potential damage, such as scratches caused by snow accumulation on dust and debris that later slides off the glass surface.
