Pigeon Deterrent for Solar Panels in Palo Alto
Pigeons love to nest under rooftop solar arrays. We install metal mesh around the array to keep birds out. The mesh is secured to the panel frames with slide-clamp washers — no drilling into your panels, and once it’s on, it’s not going anywhere. We also offer other deterrent options.
Deterrent work is quoted on a call — call (408) 661-7747.

Palo Alto Solar Panel Cleaning FAQ
Palo Alto’s valley heat, dust, and oak pollen season leave a grimy film on panels, especially during the long dry season. Most Palo Alto systems do best with cleaning twice a year — once after spring pollen season and once in the fall. Homes under big oaks in Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park may benefit from an extra visit.
No. We use custom-built soft brush rigs and purified water at low pressure, which is safe for your panels and mounting hardware. We never use high-pressure equipment that can damage panels or void manufacturer warranties.
Yes — bird droppings and lichen are some of the most common issues we see on Palo Alto rooftops, especially near Stanford’s open spaces and under mature tree canopies. Our soft brush rigs and purified water lift these spots away without scratching the glass.
Every job gets a free quote. The price depends on your system size, the number of stories, and how easy the roof access is. Call (408) 661-7747 for a free, no-pressure quote.
Yes. We clean offices, research facilities, tech campuses, and multi-unit properties across Palo Alto. We also clean large commercial carport solar arrays, often on weekends or late at night when the lot is empty — no cars underneath, which property managers love. We offer early-morning and weekend scheduling to keep disruption to your business or tenants to a minimum.
No — all the work is exterior, so you don’t need to be home. We just need safe access to your roof. If you’d like, we can do a final walkthrough of the results with you when we’re done.
We’re open Monday through Saturday from 6 AM to 10 PM, closed Sundays, and we book jobs to fit your schedule needs and demands — including weekend and late-night carport work when lots are empty.
