Critter Problems

One of the most unpredictable things to happen to the Solar Industry is critters. Unfortunately the area between your Solar Panels and the Roof Top, creates a decent place for a squirrel or other type of critter to make a nest. A place that not only gives them some warmth but protection from predators even more so than they might have in a tree. Important Fact: We see more issues in cities than rural areas. We believe it’s due to less options to nest so they revert to panels.

What they do after deciding to nest under the panels is the Big Problem. They can chew at the wires causing parts to the system to fail or even worse creating fire hazards if chewing wires near dry leaves.

SolarFlair did not put this issue on the back burner; we attacked it head on. We have set procedures for handling these cases that ensure all issues are properly addressed, most importantly no Fire hazards are present. We offer a way to deter critters nesting by installing Guards or other measures to avoid this being an issue for your system.

We have been doing our best to educate all of our customers of this possible issue and how to avoid it
