Solar Panel Proofing in Gold Coast closes the gap between your panels and the roof. That space is sheltered, warm and hard to reach, which makes it a handy spot for possums to rest and for rats to nest. Leaves and droppings build up underneath, and animals can chew through the cables that run from panel to panel.
The crew we book fits a mesh skirt around the edges of the panel array. The mesh is cut to fit the shape of the array and held with clips that attach to the panel frame, so no holes are drilled into the panels themselves. Before the mesh goes on, the crew clears out any nest material and droppings from under the panels and checks the cables for chew marks.

Solar proofing is often booked along with possum proofing, as the crew is already on the roof with ladders and harnesses. It can also be booked on its own if you have heard scratching near the panels or seen droppings in the gutter below them. The price depends on the number of panels, how they are laid out, and how steep and high the roof is.
If the crew finds chewed cables, they will show you photos so you can have an electrician look at them. Solar panel proofing is booked across Gold Coast with upfront pricing on the phone. Call 07 3543 7769 and tell us roughly how many panels you have and whether the roof is tiled or metal, and we will book a local team.
