Solar Panel Bird Netting & Critter Guards in Central Texas
The gap between a rooftop solar array and the roof is sheltered, shaded and hard for predators to reach — which is exactly why pigeons, grackles and other birds move in. Once a nest starts, the space fills with sticks, feathers and droppings, the noise starts early in the morning, and droppings streak the panels and roof below. SolarShield Property Care inspects underneath the array, clears out loose nesting debris where it is safe to do so, and installs bird netting / critter guards around the perimeter so the space stays closed.
Who this is for
- Homes with birds flying in and out from under the panels
- Arrays with visible droppings on the panels, roof or patio below
- Homeowners hearing scratching or chirping near the roofline
- Owners of new arrays who want the gap closed before nesting starts
What to expect
- Under-panel inspection: we look beneath and around the array for nests, droppings and signs of activity.
- Debris cleanup: loose nesting material and droppings cleared from the accessible space where it is safe to do so.
- Panel cleaning available in the same visit, so the array starts clean once it is protected.
- Netting / critter guard installation: mesh fitted around the array perimeter to close the gap beneath the panels.
- Findings reported plainly — anything outside our scope, such as active pest problems, is referred to the appropriate specialist.

Questions homeowners ask
The gap under the array is shaded, sheltered from wind and rain, and hard for predators to reach. Pigeons and other birds find it quickly, especially on homes near open fields or tree cover.
Nesting material and droppings build up under and around the array, droppings streak the panels and roof, and the activity is noisy. Built-up debris also traps moisture and dirt against the roof surface.
It is a mesh barrier fitted around the outside edge of the solar array, closing the open gap between the panels and the roof so birds and small critters cannot get underneath.
No. We are not a pest control or wildlife removal company. If we find active pest or wildlife issues beyond nesting debris, we tell you and recommend the appropriate specialist.
It depends on the size and layout of the array and the roof access, so we confirm the exact price during a free on-site estimate before any work begins.
Pigeons nesting under solar panels leave sticks, feathers and droppings that build up beneath the array and streak the panels and roof. That debris can hold moisture and dirt against the roof surface. Closing the gap with bird-exclusion netting helps keep them from coming back.
The usual approach is to clear out the nesting debris and then install bird-exclusion netting around the edge of the array so birds cannot get back underneath. SolarShield Property Care handles bird-nest debris removal and netting installation for Central Texas homes.
Ideally before nesting starts, or as soon as you notice birds going in and out under the panels. If a nest is already there, the debris is cleared first and the netting goes on afterward.
Yes. Panel cleaning can be done in the same visit, so the array starts clean once the netting is in place. Just mention both when you request your estimate.
Yes. We install solar panel bird-exclusion netting for homes in Austin, Round Rock, Kyle, Buda, San Marcos and New Braunfels. Every estimate is free and done on-site.
