Project Challenges & Solutions
This property offered an open roofline ideal for solar, and our design team optimized the layout for strong year-round performance. To ensure lasting protection, we include Critter Guards with all of our installations, a valuable upgrade that makes a big difference. These barriers help prevent squirrels and other small animals from nesting beneath the panels, keeping the system cleaner, safer, and more efficient over time.
