Solar Critter Guard

Solar Panel Critter Guard Installation in Colorado Springs

We review bird or compatible nuisance-wildlife activity beneath the array, panel layout, roof access, attachment method, equipment clearance, and warranty questions before proposing a guard installation.

Colorado Springs is the primary market. Eligible residential and commercial Solar Critter Guard projects elsewhere on Colorado’s Front Range are reviewed by location, access, roof, array, and scope.

Installation Scope

Galvanized Mesh, Clearance, Attachment, and Access

The approved proposal should define the accessible panel perimeter, mesh, attachment approach, preparation, exclusions, price, and any separately approved cleanup.

  • Review accessible panel edges and gaps
  • Maintain appropriate equipment clearance
  • Document the proposed attachment method
  • Separate guard installation from cleanup or repairs

A Clear Process

From Property Photos to a Defined Installation

The goal is to review activity, roof and array details, access, proposed installation, service limits, and price before scheduling.

  1. Share the Project Details

    Provide the address or ZIP, property type, roof, panel layout, activity, access, and safe ground-level photos.

  2. Review the Proposed Guard

    Confirm mesh, accessible perimeter, attachment approach, equipment clearance, exclusions, warranty questions, and price.

  3. Approve and Coordinate Access

    Schedule only after the installation scope, roof access, responsibilities, and any separately approved cleanup are clear.

A photo-based quote may be possible when the project can be scoped remotely. If an onsite inspection is required, the fee is $150 and is waived when the recommended service is approved.

Answers Before Service

Solar Critter Guard Questions

Review these common questions, then call when the property or request requires a different scope.

What material is used?

The current service uses galvanized steel mesh fitted around accessible solar-panel edges according to the approved project scope.

Does the service include cleaning or repairs?

Cleaning, animal removal, electrical work, roof repair, and solar repair are not automatically included. Any additional work must be separately reviewed and listed.

Will the installation affect my roof or solar warranty?

Warranty terms depend on the roof, equipment, installer, manufacturer, and proposed attachment method. Review those questions before approving the work; no blanket warranty claim is made.

Can I receive a quote from photos?

A photo-based quote may be possible when clear property, roof, array, access, and activity details are available. An onsite inspection is $150 when required and is waived with approved service.
