mission accomplished
I have been very pleased with the bird barrier.One thing I would recommend, is to make sure and order the extra 50 clips (I'm glad I did). I found that 50 is not quite enough to ensure good coverage around fastening trouble areas such as corners, splicing piece overlaps, etc.Installation is not that difficult. Follow the instructions, pay attention to your unique roof situation, overall a pretty good and very satisfying DIY project.Since I installed the bird barrier in September, they have not had access underneath my solar panels. Now fewer visit- almost like they are checking for a nesting area, but never stay.I highly recommend this system. When we purchased and had our solar panels installed in 2016 I had no idea pigeons/birds were attracted to them for building homes. We were spoiled for a couple of years. Had I known, I would have installed this right after the solar was installed.Great system, great price, great DIY project. Exactly what I was wanting.

Amazing Product that works in AZ!
I tried a lot of self made ways to keep the birds away. I finally researched products made for the purpose and settled on this one based upon reviews.This is a quality product that was easy to put in once you get a rhythm. I would use pliers instead of my fingers when sliding the holders. As suggested by others I bought extra holders since I didn’t want to do it twice. I’m glad I did.Since putting these the birds are gone! It took about a week for them to figure out they don’t have a hiding place or home here anymore.Before I put them on I dragged the hose up to clean out all bird droppings and nesting material. Then I kept going until finished.It’s been a while since they been on and there has been no deterioration but if the plastic coating comes off the metal will still hold because it is thick enough but not too much to bend in place.Absolutely great purchase. You won’t be disappointed!

Clips do not hole very tight, could use improvement
Material is good, the pressure clips are fairly easy to install but do not hold as tight as they should... Does work to keep the birds and animals out from under the panels.

Quality Product
I only have one other cheaper critter guard to compare this to, and this is by far better. The metal is thicker and stronger. It seems coated properly where the other guard already appeared to show signs of rust while still in the package. The spacing of the squares was precise, where the other product wasn’t always. The hooks and “washers” or whatever they are worked very well.. the washer would tightly hold onto the hook, as where my other product the washer holes were either too big, or they gave me hooks that were too thin, forcing me to tighten and bend the hook to try and keep the mesh in place. For a one-time do it yourself job, this was perfect. Wear gloves, the black coating will mess your clothes and hands.

Solid system
Just installed this and it works great. Put hooks in roughly every 12inches. I used one continuous run instead of cutting and my perimeter was roughly 50’. Very easy to bend and cut. I bought the eight inch due to the fact I wanted the the netting to bend down at an outwards curve to prevent critters from going underneath. My panels were about 6” high. So I was about 10’ from being done when a haboob rolled in. Had to jump off and finish in the am. It withheld the strong winds! I recommend anyone with solar panels to use this product! I was quoted $900 for a company to to it. Very satisfied! Took about 2hrs to install.

ROTAK STOP CUTTING CORNERS AND DO BETTER!
The Good-----------I received a 8 inch X 100 foot roll with 2 X 50 Clip bags. Both side surfaces of the roll was sticky and some of the PVC came off on my hands. I put the roll in the sun for some hours and the stickiness was reduced. I suspect the roll is being wrapped in plastic too quickly during manufacture.The thickness of the roll is good and bends nicely.The Bad----------I needed exactly 100 feet of guard roll. I unrolled it on my driveway and measured 95 feet and 3 inches. One clip bag contained 47 rods and 46 plates. The other clip bag contained 52 rods and 47 plates.Its not worth my time to return it just to receive a similar faulty product. Fortunately I was able to make up the length of guard roll with some galvanized 1/2 inch mesh wire leftover from my garden.ROTAK DO BETTER!
