What makes a good wire mesh for solar critter guard / birdproofing/Squirrel Guard Fence?

• Opening size of Solar Panel Squirrel Guard Fence

The larger the openings (space between wires), the bigger the critters which will have access to the solar array. The industry has coalesced around a maximum opening size of 1/2″, which blocks most critters without restricting airflow. 

• Wire gauge and stiffness for making Solar Panel Squirrel Guard Fence

A wire gauge of AWG 19 (about .04″ in diameter) is recommended for long-term durability. Note this is significantly thicker than chicken wire and will hold its shape once bent.

• Available width and length for Solar Panel Squirrel Guard Fence

A typical residential PV array requires between 100 and 300 feet of wire mesh to enclose. Solar Panel Squirrel Guard Fence is typically sold in 100-foot rolls, but some distributors cut it into shorter lengths (usually at a significant per-foot markup). The Solar Panel Squirrel Guard Fence width needed for a particular PV array depends on the racking system and installation method – but the most common are 4″, 6″ and 8″.
