Solar Inspections Repairs & Service

Ever pondered why squirrels seem so fascinated by your solar panels? These little creatures aren't just dropping by for a visit—without a proper squirrel guard system, they might just decide to set up camp underneath your solar setup!

It's a known fact that small animals and rodents love to make nests under unprotected rooftop panels, leading to the accumulation of debris and waste. Not only does this decrease the efficiency of your system, but it also poses a fire risk, endangering your home and loved ones.

Moreover, without a barrier in place, local wildlife can freely chew through exposed wires, potentially cutting off your power supply and resulting in costly repairs. Therefore, installing a bird guard for your solar panels is essential for ensuring the ongoing safety and efficiency of your system.

 Birds perching on top of your solar panels can scratch or scuff the surface. These scratches and damages can lead to decreased function and is not ideal for the longevity of your solar panels.

Due to their warmth, birds love nesting under solar panels. However, a high presence of nesting birds beneath your panels can cause corrosion. The last thing you want is damaging substances, like bird droppings, to be introduced to your investment.

A high presence of birds near your solar panels can attract other animals as well. Some wildlife such as snakes and even squirrels enjoy feasting on birds and bird eggs. If you allow birds to build shelters underneath your solar panels, the installation of the panels could be compromised by other animals on the hunt.

Leaves gathering under solar panels can lead to various issues:

1. Fire risk: Accumulated leaves serve as potential fuel for embers during fires.
2. Mildew and mold: Decaying leaves create conditions conducive to the growth of mildew and mold.
3. Reduced energy output: Debris obstructs sunlight from reaching the solar cells within panels, diminishing electricity conversion efficiency.

While keeping debris off solar panels is essential, addressing buildup underneath poses a challenge for homeowners. At Rocklin Solar Repair, we specialize in thorough cleaning of solar panels and their surroundings, safeguarding the integrity of your home.
