Critter and snow guards explained.
Included free with every installation—two protections that guard your solar investment from wildlife and winter weather.
Investing in solar is a decision built to pay off over 25+ years. Two small, often-overlooked protections help make sure it actually does: critter guards and snow guards—and we include both on every installation at no cost to you.
Critter guards
Solar panels create a sheltered, elevated space that's genuinely attractive to squirrels, birds, and other small animals looking to nest. Left unchecked, that can cause real problems:
Critter guards are mesh barriers installed around the edges of your panels that block that access entirely. We install them on every system at the time of your solar installation—no extra cost, no decision required.
Snow guards
Solar works well in winter, but Long Island's snow and ice bring a different consideration. Unlike textured shingles, smooth panel surfaces let snow slide off in large, heavy sheets—which can mean:
Snow guards are small barriers placed strategically on panels that slow and evenly distribute snow release instead of letting it all come down at once—protecting people, property, and your roof.
Extra Protection. Included with every installation.
Unlike many competitors who treat critter guards and snow guards as an à la carte upsell, we include both on every single installation at no cost to you. It's part of how we ensure 30 years of worry-free solar—not an option to consider, just something you already have.
