Solar Critter Guard

Squirrels and birds get into the gap between the panels and the roof, and most people find out the hard way: chewed wiring, staining down the shingles, or a system that has quietly stopped producing. Critter guard closes that gap with a mesh barrier clipped around the array. These are New Jersey homes where we fitted it, some on the day the panels went up and others years later, after something had already moved in.

120 completed critter guard projects across 78 New Jersey towns, including 21 with a review written by the customer.

Solar Panel Installation in Ewing, NJ | 13.94 kW All-Black Array with 41 Hanwha Panels

Phillip from Ewing, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020.
