Step 1
First, assemble the two parts of the fastener. Insert the straight portion of the hook into the hole in the washer. The silver side of the washer should be inserted first.
Step 2
Insert the washer about an inch through the hook as this will provide sufficient wire to grip with a pair of pliers later in the installation process.
Step 3
Once on the roof, check under the solar panels for birds, squirrels and other small animals. Remove any nest from below the panel/s by lifting the panel/s where the nests are and removing any nests, babies, eggs, etc.

Testimonials
The squirrels began building nests under our solar panels only a couple years ago. But this spring they’ve been extra busy. Shortly after removing a 2nd nest myself this year. They quickly came back just a couple days later and build a 3rd. Enough is Enough… Time to stop the madness before the squirrels cause some serious electrical damage! I reached out to Squirrel Guard and CK was great! He gave me a complete rundown on his products and had a crew out to our home quickly to eliminate our squirrel issues. The crew did an Excellent job! They quickly removed the current nest, Cleared out all the nest Debris, Installed the guards and did a soft wash of our panels! A 5-Star Great Job at a Fair Price! Thank You!

Crew showed up on time and got right to work. They are a well organized team. All nests were removed and guards were installed. They made sure to clean up any debris that had fallen off the roof. Owner C.K is very accessible and answers all questions. Very fair price
Pauline West
Great job done by CK and his team. Very professional in terms of proactive and upfront communication around what is included in the service, cost, and warranty for the work. Work was completed promptly, followed by receiving pictures of work completed. The crew worked in a very systematic and coordinated fashion and completed the job in an hour or so. Overall, a great vendor / service provider if you want to get critter guard installed. I am very happy with the work done by CK and his team.
Omkar Inamdar
I hired this company to take care of a problem I was having with my solar panels. Birds were nesting under the panels. I contacted them and spoke with C.K. who was very helpful. The company immediately responded and came to our house. They communicated with the solar company and had the measurements and specifics needed to complete the job. They came quickly, removed the nest, cleaned the panels and the gutters. C.K.’s team did an excellent job and I highly recommend them.
Christine Gibbons
They came out within a week of my request. The installation was quick. The squirrel guards are surprisingly clean and neat looking. I will recommend them to my friends.

Does the Squirrel Guard work with all solar panels?
Our critter guard system works with almost all solar panels that have a frame around them which is probably over 98% of all residential solar panels installed. Our system will work with almost any solar panel that has a lip. Very few solar panels do not have any lip at the bottom. Solar panels with no lip may still have mounting holes which may be used to attach the hook.
How long does it take to install a Squirrel Guard around my solar panels?
The amount of time required to install a squirrel guard around the perimeter of your solar panels will depend on the size of your solar array as well as the layout of your panels. A simple array of 20 panels laid out in a rectangle can take just a couple of hours while a more complex layout with a non-rectangular configuration could take 4-5 hours. While it is possible to install the guard on your own, it is much easier if you have 2 people installing the guard together. Make sure thado not leave any areas that are not covered as squirrels will find a way in through these openings. Please view our gallery for installation examples that could help you prepare for your installation.
What is included in a Squirrel Guard Kit?
The Squirrel Guard kit includes 100′ of our PVC-coated galvanized steel wire mesh along with our easy to install squirrel guard fasteners (clips) that are designed to work with most brands of solar panels. Each kit comes with 100 fasteners. A 100′ wire installation requires between 75-80 clips so you will have sufficient for a 100′ installation.
How much would it cost if I decide to hire a professional installer?
Professional installers usually charge between $10 – $15 per linear foot. With a DIY kit, you can do this for $1.50 or less per linear foot. If you are located in New Jersey, we offer an installation service starting at $12 / linear foot including materials. We also install in CT, DE, IL, MA, MD, NH, NY, PA and TX.
