SolaTrim Barrier Panels are the best performing solar pest barrier on the market today.

Light winds should remove most side debris, but if debris is wet or compressed, higher winds may be required to effect side debris removal or homeowner physically removing side debris. We recommend occasional homeowner cleaning and maintenance inspection of the entire solar panel. EXCLUSIONS/LIMITATIONS This warranty does not cover - - Damage or performance failures due to improper installation - Harmful chemicals exposure - Product being used for unintended purposes or in an inappropriate manner - Panel removal - Excessive heat - Mold or mildew accumulation - Damage caused by acts of God, including hurricanes, lightning tornados, thunderstorms, windstorms, hail, etc. - Failure to perform routine maintenance - Vandalism - Alterations from original installation - Damage caused by roof or solar panel structure settling or distortion - Impact of foreign objects - Fire damage

Description
Your installation is perfect, but somehow your solar array still feels incomplete. The problem: Exposed areas of rooftop solar arrays provide an open invitation for pests and debris accumulation. Installing an abatement barrier protects longevity and ensures maximum system performance,
SolaTrim® pest abatement barrier is durable, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing and best of all; super quick and easy to install.
WHY YOU NEED IT
- Squirrels love to chew because their teeth never stop growing. The space beneath a solar panel is not only a wonderful invitation for shelter it provides the added benefit of lots of wire to enjoy. Damaged wire will harm your system and can create a fire hazard.
- Birds are constantly looking for shelter and protection from predators, and you guessed it, beneath solar panels is the perfect nest building environment. The bird droppings alone can erode building material, compounded by the materials they collect to build their masterpiece of a nest.
- Lastly, if critters don't love your array, leaves certainly will. Debris buildup holds moisture, accelerates roof rot, and can damage module backsheets. Or worse, dried debris could become fuel for a potential fire under the array.
FEATURES
-
All-Climate Durability: Constructed from coated aluminum that resists rust, fading, and discoloration — engineered to last the life of the solar system.
-
Quick, Tool-Free Installation: Patented peel-and-stick adhesive means no clips, screws, or drilling required, saving installers time and labor costs. AND guaranteeing you don't void any manufacturer warranties.
-
Boosts Curb Appeal: Provides a clean, professional edge compared to wire mesh or cages, making rooftop solar systems look as good as they perform.
- Adaptable: Aluminum material can be trimmed to fit around obstacles like ends of panel racking or uneven roof tiles.
- Diamond Shape Stamp: Diamond pattern shape provides sufficient airflow beneath the panels to prevent the possibility of moisture build-up.
- Made in the USA
SPECIFICATIONS
- Includes: Each case includes 25 pieces (each 48" long) giving you 100 feet of barrier. And the required acetone prep wipes.
- Adhesive: 3M VHB tape is pressure-activated and requires a minimum 15lbs PSI for the adhesive to “wet out” and achieve the strongest bond. A laminate roller aka "J-Roller" is recommended to ensure adequate adhesive activation spread over the module frame (especially if working in colder weather).
- Storage: Store this product in a climate controlled area between 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C) and 0-95% relative humidity.
- Ideal Temp for Installation: Is a range of 70° – 100°F / 21° – 38°C.
NOTE:
The lowest recommended temperature for application is 40°F / 4°C.
Attempts to install below this temperature may result in unsatisfactory adhesion. If planning to install in temps between 40°-50°F (4.4°- 10°C), it is best used when stored at room temperature before application.
