Can My Roof Really Catch Fire?
Do you wonder what it means when you find a squirrel under solar panels? Usually it means there is unfound damage! There have been many cases where animals have chewed a hole so large in a roof that they currently live in the attics of solar owners! A worse but more common situation is when the critters get hungry enough to chew through the PV wiring on the roof.
Sometimes they go after the modules, and other times they go after the wiring that powers the entire system. These scenarios can pose a huge threat to the integrity of the system and the safety of your home.
If there was bare wire exposed in your home, would you leave it that way?
Exposed wire on your roof can ignite dried material fairly easily. All it takes is a small electrical arc, or spark, to set fire to nearby flammable materials on your roof.
What you need is protection against squirrels and other pests that could put your roof in danger…
Is Critter Guard™ Service Necessary?
Home solar panels are usually mounted on your roof, exposing them not only to the weather but also to local wildlife. Often, birds and squirrels can damage rooftop solar equipment. Squirrels sometimes nest under roof panels and may chew through exposed or hanging wires.
If they chew the right wires, they can cut off the power from the solar panel, causing expensive repairs and power loss (which can even become permanent).
Birds also often nest under and around the panel, causing dust and droppings to accumulate, which significantly reduces panel efficiency.
What About Roof Damage?
In addition to local animals disturbing your solar system, environmental debris can also cause panel damage. Dried leaves and branches can accumulate under panels, posing a dangerous fire hazard near power lines that move power from a panel to your home.
In some cases, small animals bite a large hole into a roof to the extent that they now live inside solar roofs! Worse but even more common is when small animals are hungry enough to chew through PV wiring on a roof. This is why it is alarming if you find a squirrel under solar panels.
Sometimes they follow the module, and other times they follow the wiring that powers the entire system. Either incidence poses a considerable problem to the integrity of the system and the safety of your home.
Solar Panel Critter Guard™ Solar Services To The Rescue
Solar providers often provide Critter Guard Solar Services, that include the installation of metal shielding tapes, similar to high-quality mesh wires that can be installed along the sides of roof panels. This is to protect against the damage caused by the accumulation of animals and flammable materials.
Since there is a distinct gap between the installation position of the solar panel and the roof for ventilation, Critter GuardTM service helps to prevent squirrels and birds from entering under and between your panels and causing severe damage.
Critter GuardTM service also prevents leaves, branches, and other flammable debris from accumulating under panels and near the wiring, thus preventing potential fire hazards. Bare wires on a roof can easily ignite dry materials, and even a small spark from the conductor can trigger a fiery inferno on your roof! All for something that can be avoided!
Not to mention, battling with your home owner’s insurance company over these types of claims can be extremely difficult.
Small Creatures Cause Big Damages
Tiny outside animals can severely damage your solar panels and wires. These poor animals are innocently trying to find shelter beneath your panels, but the damages and risks that come with them doing so are very consequential.
