If Your Critter Guard Isn’t Stopping Them,
It’s Housing Them
Give it the edge it needs
There’s a Way.
—The Only Way
It starts quietly—a rustle, a shadow on the roof, a squirrel slipping under the edge of your solar array. You barely notice it. Weeks pass. Then, suddenly, your system shuts down.
What happened?
The squirrels found a protected new home high above the ground—safe, sound, and rent-free. Beneath your panels, they’re warm, sheltered, and happily chewing through everything that keeps your solar system running.
But it doesn’t have to end this way. We’ve got a better solution. One that blends precision and strength to keep nature out while keeping your solar investment safe.
Here’s how we do it…
The Problem: A Hidden Threat
What starts as a cozy home for a few squirrels quickly turns into a nightmare for your solar system. Beneath your panels, they chew through wiring, create nests, and leave behind damage that leads to costly repairs and production loss.
The weakest point? Poorly installed critter guards.
Loose mesh, gaps at the corners, and weak attachment points give critters easy access. Once inside, the damage begins—and it doesn’t stop until your system fails.
This isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a fire hazard, a hit to your return on investment, and a risk to the safety of your home.— Squarespace
Our Secret Weapon: Science!
What makes our critter guard better? It’s not just talk—it’s physics.
By bending the wire mesh into a C-shape using the Slicktools AG Bender 7™, we transform a flexible mesh into a rigid, load-distributing barrier. This isn’t guesswork—it’s applied physics and structural mechanics at work.
In Structural Mechanics, the shape and geometry of materials determine their stiffness and rigidity. Forming a C-shape increases the moment of inertia, making the mesh more resistant to bending and deflection—just like an I-beam in construction.
The C-shape geometry enhances stiffness, allowing the mesh to hold its form and distribute forces across its length.
Seams are reinforced with a combination of CritterBlok™ Wire Mesh Clips and black galvanized hog rings, ensuring strength and stability at every connection.
This rigid structure eliminates sagging and gaps, creating a tough yet clean-looking barrier that critters can’t breach.
The result? Stronger, sleeker, and built to last—while looking great from every angle.
When we combine this with CritterBlok™ Solar Animal Guard Clips and our multi-point reinforcement, it’s not just a guard—it’s a fortress.
Sleek and Strong: Built to Last, Designed to Impress
We believe protection shouldn’t compromise style. Our critter guard is not only tough—it’s practically invisible while offering unmatched durability.
The C-shaped mesh sits flush with the solar panel edge, creating a clean, streamlined appearance.
No sagging, no gaps—just a rigid, continuous barrier that blends seamlessly with your array.
Custom trimming around racking ensures every edge is perfectly fitted, leaving no room for critters to sneak in.
Designed to withstand the harshest conditions, our critter guard holds strong against heavy snow—which can easily cause traditional installations to sag and fail.
Unlike typical installations that look bulky and messy, our method enhances both durability and aesthetics. From the ground, it’s barely noticeable, but up close, you’ll see the difference: solid protection that’s as attractive as it is effective.
