Birds, squirrels, and rodents love solar panel shade, but nesting, droppings, and chewing can damage wiring, discolor roofs, clog gutters, and reduce system performance. At Sun Valley Solar Cleaning Company, we install sturdy, low-profile critter guards that are custom-fitted to your array and mounted without damaging panels or roofs, preserving warranties.
Birds, squirrels, and rats like to hang out in the shady area under solar panels. They chew and make nests once they get inside, which causes problems that cost a lot of money and time off. Critter guards keep people from getting to the array, which keeps your system, roof, and cash safe. You can protect your solar panels from:
It is much cheaper to avoid these problems than to fix them. It can get expensive to rewire, fix panels, fix roofs, and clean. Plus, when the system is down, you lose energy and savings.

EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on Evelyn VelasquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maintaining solar panels through regular cleaning is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Over time, dust, dirt, bird droppings, and environmental debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, leading to reduced energy output. I recently had my solar panels cleaned, and the difference in performance is noticeable. * I opted for a professional cleaning service, which made the process hassle-free. The technician was knowledgeable and careful not to damage the panels, and he used eco-friendly cleaning solutions to ensure no harm to the environment or the system. They also inspected the panels for any potential issues, adding an extra layer of value to the service. **Increased Lifespan:** Regular cleaning helps prevent long-term damage to solar panels. Dirt and debris can create hotspots, which may lead to panel degradation. By cleaning them, I'm not just boosting energy production but also extending the lifespan of my solar system. *Safety for me was totally important, Cleaning solar panels on a rooftop can be dangerous. Hiring a professional service was worth the investment for safety reasons alone, as they have the proper equipment and expertise to handle the task efficiently. The Final Verdict:.. Regular solar panel cleaning is essential for anyone looking to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of their solar system. While it can be costly, especially if using professional services, the increased energy production and long-term savings make it a valuable investment. For those with larger solar arrays or who live in dusty environments, an automated or regular professional cleaning service is highly recommended.

Great job !! he was here 1st thing this morning , that never happens . very friendly , professional and did a great job . wish i would have used them long ago , Sun Valley Solar i will use them again ,Posted on Samuel YoonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had worked with Timothy a couple of occasions. To have the roof tiles replaced and to install critter guards around my solar arrays. He is a very prompt communicator who is very detail oriented, transparent, and honest with his work. It still remains to be seen if the critter guard will keep the birds out in the long run. I’ll update the review in the near future.Posted on Steve GaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and his wife are great. Excellent service, well worth the cost.
