What Alberta Customers Are Saying

"Evalence was who I went with for critter guards for 26 panels, and the cost was about half of what my installer had quoted me. The guys showed up and did a great job, and went over and above what was required. I wished I had Evalance install my whole system instead of who I went with. I would definitely recommend them if anyone needs a system or even just critter guards installed."

"Tyler came out for a free estimate, very knowledgeable, explained all options and took time for in depth conversation, followed up same day with 3 proposals with detailed and itemized quotes. Excellent website and software for forwarding information and communicating as he answered questions and set up scheduling. Very professional company. Thanks to Stefan who did the installation - really knew what he was doing and made sure I understood the app and how to use it."

Clarity Every Step of the Way

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are critter guards exactly?

    Critter guards are protective barriers installed around your solar panels to prevent animals like birds, squirrels, and raccoons from nesting underneath or causing damage.

  • Why do I need critter guards for my solar system?

    Without guards, wildlife can chew wires, damage panels, and leave debris that reduces efficiency. Critter guards help maintain optimal performance and reduce maintenance.

  • Will critter guards affect my solar panel efficiency?

    No, not even a little bit! Our critter guards are designed to allow full airflow and sunlight to your panels, ensuring your system continues to generate energy at peak performance.

  • Do critter guards reduce maintenance needs?

    You bet! By keeping animals and debris out, critter guards minimize the need for cleaning, repairs, and inspections, helping you save time and money.

  • How long do critter guards last?

    We use durable, weather-resistant materials built to withstand harsh conditions and wildlife activity, providing long-lasting protection for your solar investment. Basically, a long time!

  • Can critter guards be installed on any solar panel setup?

    Our critter guards are designed to fit most residential and commercial solar systems, including different panel types, roof angles, and configurations. Just about any panel we install can accommodate critter guards.

  • Will critter guards protect my panels from all types of wildlife?

    Critter guards are highly effective against common pests like squirrels, birds, and raccoons. While no solution is completely wildlife-proof (if a bear is on your roof, your solar panels are a low concern!), our guards provide strong protection to keep your system safe.

  • Do critter guards void my solar panel warranty?

    Generally, no. Most manufacturers allow the installation of critter guards as long as they don’t interfere with the panels’ mounting system or electrical components. Always check your specific warranty to be sure, but you can also rely on us to tell you if you're concerned.
