Possible Squirrel Damage
to Your Solar Panels
Solar Panels are not designed to withstand animal damage, squirrels are a known enemy of solar panels. With their sharp claws and teeth, they can damage your solar panels.
Solar panels are constructed of several delicate components, including the panels themselves, the wiring, and inverters that carry power to the home’s or building’s electrical grid. Squirrels can nest under your solar panels and that is when the problems will start. Issue such as:
Squirrels that chew the wiring and electrical components can cause wires to become disconnected, weakened, or severed. This reduces the efficiency of the system and might require wire or panel replacement.
While the front of solar panels are often highly reinforced, the backs tend to be more sensitive to damage. Squirrels that are nesting beneath the panels can scratch them, necessitating replacing a panel in severe cases.
Squirrel nests and their nest debris is often combustible. In proximity to wiring, particularly if that wiring has been chewed through, can start a fire, putting your entire home and family at risk.

Solar Panel Animal Protections Services
One of the largest risks to solar panels in the area is wildlife. Rooftop solar panels are elevated from a roof by a few inches, creating a space beneath that is warm and protected from wind, rain, snow, and predators. For many animals, this is the perfect location to build a nest, and once animals live under these panels, they become more likely to scratch, claw, and otherwise damage the panels in ways that are expensive and irreversible.
