Squirrel & Rodent Protection for Solar Panels
A squirrel can chew through solar wiring in minutes — and the repair bill can run into thousands. Our rodent exclusion systems stop the damage before it starts.
Squirrels and roof rats are among the most destructive pests for solar panel systems. Their constantly growing teeth drive them to chew on anything available — including the insulated wiring that runs under your panels. Chewed wiring causes system failures, arc faults, and in worst-case scenarios, roof fires. Robbins Energy specializes in rodent exclusion for solar arrays, installing heavy-gauge steel mesh that physically prevents squirrels, rats, and mice from accessing the space under your panels. We also repair existing rodent damage and inspect for hidden wiring issues.
What's Included
Chew-Resistant Steel Mesh
Heavy-gauge galvanized steel that squirrel and rat teeth cannot penetrate — unlike plastic alternatives.
Wiring Damage Inspection
We inspect all accessible wiring for chew damage before installing exclusion hardware.
Entry Point Sealing
All gaps, cable entry points, and corners sealed to eliminate every possible rodent access route.
Existing Infestation Removal
If rodents are already present, we remove them and clear all nesting material before sealing.
Arc Fault Risk Reduction
Damaged wiring insulation is a leading cause of solar arc faults — we eliminate the source.
Referral to Electrician if Needed
If we find wiring damage beyond our scope, we refer you to a licensed solar electrician immediately.
