Pigeons under the panels
Matteson Solar Panel Critter Guard That Shuts Pigeons Out
Nests cleared, then mesh clipped around the full perimeter so birds cannot get back under the array and debris cannot pile up on the roof.
Why Pigeons Keep Choosing Your Roof
Look at it from the bird's side. The gap under a solar panel is dry, shaded, warm in winter and impossible for anything to reach. It is close to perfect nesting space, and pigeons across the south suburbs have figured that out. Once a pair moves in, more follow. You end up with nests, droppings, noise at dawn and a mat of debris holding moisture against your shingles. Scare devices and spikes rarely solve it, because the space underneath is still open. Critter guard closes it. Solar Panel Removal Matteson clears out whatever is already under the array, then fits a non-penetrating mesh around the full perimeter. The mesh clips onto the panel frames, so nothing is screwed into your roof and no new holes are made. Air still circulates under the panels. Birds and blown leaves stay out. If a reroof is on the horizon, the smartest time to add it is during the reset, when the panels are already being handled and the roof underneath is brand new. That way the new shingles start clean and stay that way.
What the Install Includes
A complete seal around the array, not a few patches where birds were last seen.
Perimeter inspection
Every open side and corner of the array checked for gaps and nesting.
Nest and debris removal
What is already under the panels is cleared out before the mesh goes on.
Clip-on mesh
Attached to the panel frames, with nothing driven into the shingles.
Every edge closed
Corners, row gaps and the full outside edge sealed off.
Ventilation kept
The mesh lets air move under the array while blocking birds and leaves.
Reset-day option
Fitted as the panels go back up after a reroof, if you add it to the job.
From Bird Problem to Sealed Array
Tell us what is happening
Where the birds are, how long it has been going on and how many panels you have. We price it by phone.
Clear it out
Nests and debris come out from under the array, and the edges are measured.
Seal it off
The mesh is clipped on around the whole array and checked for any gap a bird could use.
Why This Works Where Spikes Don't
It closes the space
Deterrents scare birds. Mesh removes the place they want to be.
Your roof stays intact
Clips on the panel frames mean no new penetrations in the shingles.
Fitted by a solar crew
People who handle arrays daily install the mesh without stressing panels or wiring.
- Nests cleared first
- No holes in the roof
- Full perimeter sealed
- Easy add-on at reset
