How to Keep Pigeons and Rodents Away from Your Solar Panels in Phoenix

Solar panels are designed to handle the elements—but they’re not immune to pests, especially in Arizona’s urban and desert environments. In cities like Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, and Chandler, pigeons, rats, and squirrels often make a home beneath rooftop solar panels. Unfortunately, that’s where serious damage begins.

At Panel Protectors USA, we offer solar panel pest proofing services across Phoenix and surrounding areas to protect your system and your roof from unwanted guests.

Why Are Pigeons Attracted to Solar Panels?

Solar panels provide the perfect shady shelter for birds—especially pigeons, which are common across Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale. These pests nest under the panels to escape the sun and predators.

But their presence can cause:

• Corrosive droppings that stain and damage your panels
• Nests that block airflow and cooling
• Loud cooing and messes on your roof and driveway
• Rodents and Wiring: A Hidden Threat

Rodents like rats and squirrels often find their way under panels, too. They chew on exposed wires and build nests—putting your system at risk of electrical shorts and fire hazards.

Homeowners in Gilbert, Chandler, and Peoria report costly repairs due to rodent-chewed wires that could’ve been avoided with proper protection.

Our Pest Proofing Solution

We don’t just scare pests away—we keep them out permanently.

Here’s what we do:

• Install custom-fitted solar mesh guards
  Our durable, weather-resistant wire mesh keeps birds and rodents from nesting under your panels without affecting airflow or aesthetics.
• No drilling into your panels
  We use secure, non-invasive fasteners that won’t void your panel warranty.
• Complete roof edge cleaning
  We remove nests, droppings, and debris before sealing your system—keeping your roof cleaner and safer.
• Pest monitoring and follow-up
  If pests return, we offer additional solutions to make sure they stay away.

Is Pest Proofing Really Necessary in Phoenix?

Yes—especially if you’ve noticed:

• Nesting materials around your gutters or roof edge
• Birds roosting on your solar panels
• Black streaks (droppings) running down your roof
• Scratching noises inside your attic

These are signs of an active infestation or one about to begin. And in Phoenix, infestations can spread quickly thanks to our warm climate.
