Pigeon Deterrent for Solar Panels in Santa Cruz
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.

Santa Cruz Solar Panel Cleaning FAQ
Santa Cruz’s salt air and coastal fog coat panels fast, and redwood debris from nearby groves adds another layer of grime. Most Santa Cruz systems do best with cleaning twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. Beach-area homes that face the ocean directly may benefit from an extra visit. In Santa Cruz’s mountain communities, roofs and gutters should be cleaned every year — dried leaves, needles, and debris are a fire hazard in the dry summer months, and the same buildup clogs gutters in winter.
No. We use custom-built soft brush rigs with purified water at low pressure and high flow — a method that’s gentle on panels and mounting hardware. We never use high-pressure equipment that could damage panels or void warranties.
Yes. Seagulls and other coastal birds make droppings a common issue on Santa Cruz rooftops, and lichen loves the damp, foggy climate here. Our brush rigs and purified water lift off bird droppings, lichen, sap, and redwood debris without harsh chemicals.
Every home and business is different, so we offer free, no-pressure quotes. Price depends on system size, number of stories, and roof access. Call (408) 661-7747 and we’ll give you an exact quote in minutes.
Yes. We clean offices, retail shops, multi-unit properties, and commercial buildings from downtown Pacific Avenue to the beach business districts. 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 your business running without interruption.
No. All of our work happens on the outside of your home, so you can go about your day. We just need access to your roof, and we’ll let you know when we’re finished.
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.
