A critter guard is a durable barrier installed around the perimeter of your rooftop solar panels. It seals the gap between the panels and your roof to prevent animals like squirrels, birds, and raccoons from nesting underneath, chewing on wiring, or allowing debris to accumulate. It also helps reduce leaf buildup and moisture that can lead to roof rot or fire risk.
Yes, SolarTrim is adaptable to most roof types, including tile, shingle, and flat roofs.
No. SolarTrim is designed to sit discreetly around the edges of your array without shading or interrupting airflow. In fact, it helps maintain optimal airflow and cleanliness, which supports peak system efficiency.
SolarTrim is manufactured from UV-resistant aluminum or coated mesh designed to last as long as your solar system—typically 15 to 25 years. When installed by a certified professional, such as SolarTech, it does not void your solar panel or inverter warranty.
Yes. The cost to install SolarTrim is typically far less than repairing wiring damage, replacing panels, or addressing roof deterioration. When you combine the prevention of future maintenance needs, risk mitigation, and warranty inclusion in SolarTech’s packages, SolarTrim becomes a smart investment for long-term energy peace of mind.
Most installations are completed in a few hours, depending on system size.
Yes—especially if your solar panels are installed on a rooftop where birds, squirrels, or other animals have access. Critter guards act as a physical barrier that prevents animals from nesting under your panels, chewing wires, or causing costly damage to your system and roof. Without this protection, you risk:
Electrical issues from chewed wires
Roof deterioration from trapped debris and moisture
Fire hazards from nesting materials near live wiring
Voided warranties if animal damage occurs
