Critter guards
Critter guards are protective barriers designed to prevent animals such as birds, squirrels, and raccoons from accessing the area beneath solar panels.

These guards, typically made from materials like PVC-coated galvanized steel mesh or metal screening, help protect solar panels from potential damage caused by these animals. The primary benefits of installing critter guards include:
- Protection of Wires: Squirrels and other rodents can chew through the wires of your solar panels, leading to costly repairs and power loss.
- Prevention of Nesting: Birds often build nests under solar panels, which can lead to a buildup of debris that reduces the efficiency of the panels and poses a fire risk.
- Debris Mitigation: Critter guards prevent the accumulation of dry leaves and other flammable materials under the panels, reducing the risk of fire.
While Critter Guards are not mandatory for every solar installation, they can be a worthwhile investment for those looking to protect their solar panels and avoid costly repairs in the future. Should you choose to install critter guards yourself or get a professional to install them, they should be regularly checked and maintained to ensure they remain effective.
