Bird Proofing in San Diego, CA.
Bird Proofing for San Diego homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Pigeons, sparrows, and roof rats love the gap between your panels and roof. Once they nest, you get droppings on the panels, debris in the gutters, and chewed wires.

- Custom fit around irregular array shapes

How does San Diego's climate affect this service?
Central San Diego has dense urban tree pollen and mild marine influence. San Diego arrays typically need cleaning every 9 months — sooner if you are under heavy bird traffic from a neighboring property or near a park.. We account for local conditions in every job.
Will the mesh damage my panels or roof?
No. The clips attach to the panel frame, not to the panel surface or to the roof. Manufacturer warranties (LG, REC, SunPower, Panasonic) all permit this attachment method. If you have an active install warranty we coordinate with the installer to keep it intact.
How long does the mesh last?
We use 19-gauge galvanized steel rated for 20+ years in coastal Southern California. Plastic alternatives sold at hardware stores fail in UV in 2-3 years and are not coastal-grade.
