Why pests nest under solar panels in Tampa Bay
Birds, squirrels, rodents and other pests nest in the shaded gap under rooftop panels, and once they're in they can damage wiring, reduce airflow and create costly repairs to your roof.
Before any mesh goes on we assess the roof, meaning where they're nesting now, how they're getting in, what's already damaged and which areas are at risk. Then the mesh is installed around the edge of the array to close off the space underneath.
More about solar panel bird proofing
Some arrays already have nests in them. Removal and cleanup are part of the job where needed and count toward the price, along with total linear feet, roof height and number of stories, pitch and access, how much existing activity there is, and system size and configuration. The quote's free, no obligation.
Many warranties do not cover damage caused by animals. That's part of why bird-proofing sits in our Solar Warranty Protection Program and Maintenance Program, next to regular cleaning, regular inspections and professional maintenance reports. Your own warranty terms decide what's covered, worth reading if pests have been active on your roof.
While we're up there, the Complimentary Solar Health Inspection covers the rest of the system for visible maintenance concerns, and if the wiring under the array looks damaged we tell you what we saw. Repairs and parts are discussed and priced for your approval before we proceed. Roofing concerns go through our qualified roofing service partners.
