Solar Panel Animal Guard Installation in MA & RI
What are Solar Panel Animal Guards?
Solar panel animal guards are physical barriers that surround solar panels, blocking animals and pests from getting close to or damaging them. Even though most solar panels are located in high or hard-to-reach areas of your home or property, some animals still discover opportunities to reach them, which can lead to various inconveniences and headaches that no property owner wants to deal with. Luckily, Baystate Wildlife specializes in solar panel guard installation across Massachusetts cities and towns, ensuring that your solar panels are safe and protected from various forms of wildlife.

About Solar Panel Animal Problems
Solar panels are like a 5-star hotel suite for animals, including squirrels, raccoons, and birds such as pigeons, starlings, and grackles.
Without proper protection, animals will often move beneath solar panels, causing long-term damage.
Common problems include:
- Animals nesting under panels
- Chewed and pecked wiring caused system failure
- Roof damage from squirrels entering the structure
- Nesting debris and feces buildup, trapping water and ice
- Long-term deterioration of roof materials
If animals are allowed to stay under panels, damage and performance issues become increasingly severe over time.
