Why Solar Arrays Attract Wildlife
As rooftop solar spreads across Louisville, so does a predictable wildlife problem: the sheltered 4-8 inch gap between panels and shingles is prime nesting real estate. Pigeons colonize it, squirrels chew the wiring insulation, and both leave droppings and debris that corrode your roof and cut panel output. The fix is a one-time perimeter guard installation.
What's at Risk Under Your Panels
- ⚠ Chewed wiring:
Squirrel-damaged conductors cause arc faults, system shutdowns, and genuine fire risk — and repairs are expensive.
- ⚠ Corrosive droppings:
Pigeon droppings are acidic enough to degrade shingles, flashing, and racking hardware over time.
- ⚠ Lost energy production:
Droppings and nesting debris on panel surfaces measurably reduce output.
