Solar panels give possums a sheltered gap between the panel and the roof. In Robertson, plenty of homes have panels on the north side of the roof, and that dark, dry space underneath suits a possum looking for somewhere to rest during the day. From there it can chew cables, drop leaves and droppings into the gutter, and sometimes find a way into the roof space.
Solar panel meshing closes off that gap. The crew we book fits a strip of mesh around the full edge of the panel array, held on with clips that attach to the panel frame. No holes are drilled into the panels, and the clips do not touch the glass. The mesh sits neatly along the edge and is hard to see from the street. It still lets air flow under the panels, which they need to stay cool.
Before the mesh goes on, the crew checks under the panels for any possum that is still there and clears out nesting material, leaves and droppings. If a possum is using the space, they work out how to get it out first, often by leaving a one-way gap in the mesh that is closed once the possum has gone.
