RESIDENTIAL SOLAR PANEL CLEANING & CRITTER GUARD IN BAKERSFIELD

Protect Your Investment. Keep Your Panels Clean.

Solar Panel Cleaning | Critter Guard Installation

bakersfield, California

TAKE CARE OF WHAT'S ON TOP AND WHAT'S UNDERNEATH.

Solar panels spend every day exposed to the elements. Dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the panel surface impacting energy production, while the protected space underneath a rooftop solar array can provide an attractive location for birds and other small animals. P2G Services provides residential solar panel cleaning and critter guard installation to help homeowners maintain cleaner solar arrays and discourage unwanted guests beneath their panels.

Choose the service your property needs or combine both during the same visit when practical.


SOLAR PANEL CLEANING

Remove accumulated surface dirt and debris from accessible solar panels using cleaning methods and equipment appropriate for the system.


CRITTER GUARD INSTALLATION

Install protective mesh around the acAcessible perimeter of qualifying rooftop solar arrays to help discourage birds and other small animals from accessing the space beneath the panels.


CLEANING + CRITTER GUARD

Need both? When conditions allow, solar panel cleaning and critter guard installation can be coordinated as a single project.

Service may include:

  • Evaluation of the accessible array perimeter
  • Sizing and preparation of protective mesh
  • Installation using appropriate attachment methods

How It Works

FROM DUSTY PANELS TO A BETTER-MAINTAINED SOLAR ARRAY

 Step 1 > TELL US WHAT YOU NEED

Choose Solar Panel Cleaning, Critter Guard Installation, or Both and provide some basic information about your property and solar array.



Step 2 > SEND US A FEW PHOTOS

Photos of the home, roofline, and solar array can help us understand the configuration and identify potential access or project considerations.



Step 3 > WE EVALUATE THE PROJECT

We'll review the panel configuration, accessibility, roof and site conditions, service requirements, and any known bird or animal activity. Every property is different. Service is subject to P2G determining that the work can be performed safely and effectively using our available equipment and methods.



Step 4 > WE COMPLETE THE SERVICE

For accepted projects, we'll complete the agreed cleaning, critter guard installation, or combination of services using methods appropriate for the property and solar array.


Step 5 > WE PERFORM A FINAL VISUAL CHECK

We'll visually review the completed work and identify any concerns observed during service that may require the attention of the homeowner, solar provider, roofer, pest-control professional, or another qualified contractor.


BEFORE WE GET STARTED

Have questions about our services? Our most common inquiries are answered below.

  • WHY SHOULD SOLAR PANELS BE CLEANED?

    Solar panels are continuously exposed to dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other environmental debris. Periodic cleaning can remove accumulated surface material and help keep the array maintained. P2G does not guarantee a specific increase in solar production, efficiency, or energy savings because of cleaning.

  • WHAT IS CRITTER GUARD?

    Critter guard is protective mesh installed around the perimeter of a solar array to help discourage birds and other small animals from accessing the protected area underneath the panels.


  • DOES CRITTER GUARD ACTUALLY PREVENT BIRDS OR ANIMALS?

    No barrier is 100% effective meaning that animals will never find another point of access. Critter guard is intended to act as a deterrent discouraging access to protected areas beneath the solar array when installed around the accessible perimeter.


  • DO I NEED BOTH SERVICES?

    Not necessarily. Some customers may only need their panels cleaned. Others may be experiencing bird activity beneath the array and primarily need critter guard. In some cases, customers need both. Services can be requested individually or together.


  • WHAT IF BIRDS HAVE ALREADY BUILT NESTS UNDER MY PANELS?

    Let us know before scheduling and include photos when possible. Existing nests, animals, significant accumulated debris, or other conditions may require additional evaluation or services outside P2G's normal cleaning and critter guard scope. P2G will not disturb animals, nests, or other conditions when doing so would be unsafe or inappropriate.


  • DO YOU CLEAN UNDER THE SOLAR PANELS?

    Accessible loose debris and cobwebs may be addressed when practical as part of the agreed scope. Access beneath rooftop solar arrays can be limited, and panels are not removed to perform cleaning.


  • WILL YOU WALK ON MY ROOF?

    Sometimes but not necessarily. Our preferred approach is to perform work from the ground or another safe working position whenever practical. Roof configuration, pitch, surface material, height, panel placement, weather, access, and other site conditions are evaluated before work is performed. P2G may decline work when safe access cannot be reasonably established.


  • DO YOU REMOVE OR DISCONNECT SOLAR PANELS?

    No. Solar panel removal, electrical disconnection, system repair, and solar installation are outside the normal scope of this service.


  • CAN YOU REPAIR MY SOLAR SYSTEM OR ROOF?

    Not typically. If we observe something that appears to require repair, we'll bring it to your attention so you can contact the appropriate solar, electrical, or roofing professional.


  • CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT CLEANING WILL LOWER MY ELECTRIC BILL?

    No. Solar production and electricity costs are affected by many factors. P2G provides cleaning services but does not guarantee specific energy-production or financial results.


CLEAN ON TOP. PROTECTED AROUND THE EDGES.

Whether your panels need a good cleaning, birds and critters have discovered the space underneath them, or you'd like to address both at the same time, start by showing us what you're working with. Send us a few details and photos of your solar array. We'll evaluate the project and help determine the appropriate next step.

Clean Spaces. Happy Places.
