SolaTrim - Pest Barrier for Solar Panels
From Solar Panel Protection Products
Protect your Solar Panels with the SolaTrim Pest Abatement Barrier. The SolaTrim Pest Barrier is an all-weather, long lasting Pest and Debris abatement system designed to prevent Pigeons and Rodents from nesting under or damaging residential solar system arrays. The system allows air to circulate underneath the solar panels, maintaining a protected area between the roof surface and the bottom of the solar panels.

Products Details
Modern adhesive technology now allows for permanent peel-and-stick bonding without the use of rivets, screws or other mechanical fasteners. SolaTrim panels use this remarkable peel-and-stick feature to make the SolaTrim Panel installation quick, easy and permanent without damaging your solar panels with mechanical fasteners. Use the J Roller for a better adhesive bond.
Panels are available in 2 sizes:
- 6.75 Inches (17 cm) high x 48 Inches (122 cm) long
- 5.50 Inches (14 cm) high x 48 Inches (122 cm) long
Specification
- Rust and corrosion resistent black polyester coated panels are 3003-H14 aluminum
- Each 6-3/4' or 5-1/2' x 4' panel has 3M peel & stick adhesive along the top edge of the panel
- .025 Aluminum stock - strengthened by design to prevent bending or warping
- Diamond pattern stamping to allow for air flow and temperature regulation
- One step installation - no drilling and no screws, nails or clips
Installation
SolaTrim Installation Insructions:
- Solar Module frames must be free of dust, debris or any foreign particles. Use the acetone wipes provided to prepare the frames for the SolaTrim's peel & stick adhesive.
- When applying SolaTrim, start at the corners of the array and work toward the center. Wherever possible use full length sections on the corner edges of the modules.
- Place the SolaTrim pieces against the rooftop material and mark so the top of the SolaTrim panel will be near or flush to the top of the module frame.
- Cut the SolaTrim piece to fit using the CT93 shears or equivalent.
- Dry-fit the the piece before peeling off the adhesive to check for proper fit. (Note: SolaTrim panels do not need to make contact with the roof surface. Gaps of 1/8' to 1/4' are acceptable and still provide protection from intrusion.)
- After dry-fit, peel the paper off the adhesive strip and press the SoalTrim piece against the module frame. Apply medium pressure with hands or use a soft cloth to adhere the panel to the module. SolaTrim will stay in place immediately, will reach 80% adhesion in 20 min and 100% adhesion in 24 hours.
- If SolaTrim needs to be temporarily removed, simply pull a razor knife blade down the adhesive bead between the module frame and the SolaTrim panel. Replace with a new panel.
Application Temperatures: Do NOT install when air temps exceed 105o F. (40o C.). For best results, apply between 50 - 85o F. (10 - 30o C.). Do not store below 50o F. (10o C).
About the J Roller:
The J Roller allows you to apply smooth and even pressure when installing SolaTrim thus providing maximum adhesion. Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface-contact developed. Firm application pressure (min.15 lbs PSI) develops better ahesive contact and helps improve bond strength.
