Apple Valley's Bird Problem — and How We Fix It
Apple Valley's residential growth over the last decade has created thousands of new solar installations — and with them, an explosion of pigeon nesting under those panels. The warm, sheltered gap between your solar panels and roof is the perfect environment for pigeons: protected from predators, warm year-round, and close to food sources in established neighborhoods.
Spring Valley Lake homeowners are particularly affected — the proximity to the lake and golf course landscaping attracts diverse bird populations including pigeons, ravens, and barn swallows that target rooftop solar installations throughout the community.
Our critter guard mesh installation creates an impenetrable barrier around the perimeter of your solar array. Installed with stainless steel clips that don't penetrate or damage your panels — completely humane, completely permanent, and completely invisible from the street.

"A few years ago I had pigeon mesh installed by another company but still had significant issues. I found Ten10 Shine Solutions and contacted Darwin. From the first phone call, he was honest, polite, and attentive. Once he completed the job, the difference in quality was immediately noticeable. Darwin's work is exceptional and he clearly takes pride in what he does."
