Solar panels are on a lot of roofs in Buderim, and the gap underneath them is a favourite daytime hideout for possums. It is shaded, dry and out of sight. Panels on the north side of the roof are the most common target. A possum living under the panels can chew through cabling, fill the gutters with leaves and droppings, and use the spot as a base to find its way into the roof space.
Solar panel meshing seals that gap. The crew we book runs a strip of mesh around the outer edge of the panel array and fixes it with clips that grip the panel frame. There is no drilling into the panels or the roof. The mesh sits neatly along the edge, lets air flow under the panels so they stay cool, and is hard to spot from the street.
Before fitting the mesh, the crew checks under the panels for a possum and clears out nests, leaves and droppings. If a possum is still using the space, they make sure it is out before the mesh is closed, often by leaving one section open until the possum has left for the night. They also look for chew marks on cables and tell you if they see any.
