Bird Proofing · Scripps Ranch, CA

Bird Proofing in Scripps Ranch, CA.

Bird Proofing for Scripps Ranch homes, done by experienced 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.

Scripps Ranch: Scripps Ranch has one of the densest residential solar adoption rates in San Diego County, the affluent master-planned community had a major rooftop solar wave from 2014-2020, and most of those arrays are now in the cleaning-cadence-matters window where neglected systems are showing 15-25% production loss.

How does Scripps Ranch's climate affect this service?

Scripps Ranch has one of the densest residential solar adoption rates in San Diego County, the affluent master-planned community had a major rooftop solar wave from 2014-2020, and most of those arrays are now in the cleaning-cadence-matters window where neglected systems are showing 15-25% production loss.. 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.
