Providing Everything You Need to maximize efficiency and longevity of your solar system
Solar panel washing
Regular cleaning of solar panels is essential for maximizing production, enhancing efficiency, and prolonging the longevity of solar systems. Over time, dirt, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris accumulate on the surface of solar panels, forming a barrier that obstructs sunlight absorption. By removing this buildup through cleaning, solar panels can capture more sunlight, resulting in increased energy production and improved efficiency. Additionally, maintaining clean panels reduces the risk of hot spots, shading, and potential damage, thereby extending the lifespan of the solar system and ensuring optimal performance for years to come.
Bird Netting
-
Prevents Nesting: Birds are naturally attracted to the sheltered space under solar panels, which they may perceive as an ideal nesting site. Bird netting acts as a deterrent, blocking access to this area and discouraging birds from nesting.
-
Protects Wiring: Nesting birds can pose a threat to the integrity of the solar panel system by causing damage to wiring. Bird netting helps safeguard the wiring from being tampered with or damaged by birds building nests.
-
Maintains Efficiency: By preventing nesting activities under the solar panels, bird netting helps maintain the efficiency of the system. Nesting materials and bird droppings can accumulate over time, casting shadows and reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cells, thereby diminishing energy production.

Costs $8 per foot of material used.
Critter Gaurd
-
Prevents Damage: Small animals like squirrels and rodents are known to chew on wires, cables, and other components of solar panel systems, causing damage and potentially disrupting the flow of electricity. Critter guards provide a physical barrier that prevents animals from accessing these sensitive areas.
-
Reduces Fire Risk: Damage to wiring caused by animals chewing on them can create a fire hazard, especially in dry or hot climates. Critter guards help reduce the risk of electrical fires by preventing animals from coming into contact with the wiring.
-
Preserves System Integrity: By protecting the wiring and components of the solar panel system, critter guards help preserve the integrity and functionality of the system, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
