Frequently asked questions

How much does critter guard installation cost?
Most homes pay $500–$1,500 depending on system size and roof complexity, including cleaning out existing nests and debris. It's far cheaper than repairing chewed wiring, which can run into the thousands.
Do critter guards damage the panels?
Professionally installed guards clip to the panel frame without drilling, so they don't void warranties or damage equipment. Avoid DIY installs that screw into frames or racking.
How do I know if animals are under my panels?
Listen for cooing or scratching, look for droppings on panels or nesting material at panel edges, and watch for birds repeatedly flying beneath the array. Production drops can also signal chewed wiring.
