Solar Guard Installation

Protect your panels from pigeons, critters, and debris with professional solar guard installation. Built to last in the Phoenix heat.

The problem under your panels

In the Phoenix metro, pigeons and other critters have discovered that the space beneath solar panels is the perfect nesting spot. Shaded, sheltered, and warm at night. The problem is what they leave behind.

Nesting debris blocks airflow and traps heat. Droppings are acidic and degrade panel coatings. Rodents chew through wiring insulation, creating fire hazards and costly electrical faults. A solar guard is the only permanent solution.

  • Prevents pigeons and critters from nesting under panels
  • Protects wiring from chewing damage
  • Improves airflow and panel efficiency
  • Durable materials rated for Arizona heat
  • Low profile, does not affect panel appearance
  • One-time installation, long-term protection

Frequently asked questions

Will the guard damage my panels or void my warranty?

No. Our guards clip to the panel frame and racking system without drilling into panels or penetrating the roof. Your panel warranty remains fully intact.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in 2 to 3 hours. Larger systems may take a half day. We work efficiently so you are not left waiting around.

Why is it priced by onsite estimate?

Every roof and infestation is different. We assess severity, how much debris removal and sanitization is needed, and your array layout, then build a custom plan — so you get an accurate price rather than a guess. Most jobs land between $500 and $2,000.

Do you remove existing nests before installing?

Yes. If there is an active nesting situation, we clear the debris and clean the area before installing the guard. This is included in the quote process so there are no surprises.
