Critter guard
Solar Panel Critter Guard in Palos Hills
Wire screening fitted around your array's perimeter to block nesting birds, squirrels and leaf litter from building up underneath.
What Builds Up Under an Unguarded Array
The gap under a rooftop array is a few inches of sheltered, warm space. Birds find it. Squirrels find it. Wind pushes leaves and twigs into it. Over a season or two, that space can fill with nesting, droppings and a damp layer of debris pressed against the shingles. Some homeowners first notice the cooing. Others notice the mess in the gutters. A critter guard shuts that gap. Solar Panel Removal Palos Hills installs non-penetrating wire screening around the array's outer rim. The screening clips onto the module frames, not the roof, so the roof surface stays intact. Air keeps moving under the panels while animals and debris are kept out. If a detach and reset is already on the calendar, that is the ideal moment: the area under the array is fully exposed and can be cleaned before the screening is fitted. Arrays that are not coming down can be screened as well, after a cleanout of whatever can be reached from the edge.

Screen it
Screening goes around the full perimeter, then every edge is checked for gaps.
