Our Story

A local defense against costly damage

Solar Perimeter Defense was founded on a simple frustration: homeowners across New Mexico were investing tens of thousands into solar, only to watch pigeons and rodents nest beneath their panels — chewing wires, spreading droppings and quietly destroying that investment.

Chris Wheeler built this company to solve that — with honest work, premium materials and the kind of care that only a locally owned business can deliver.

What Drives Us
01

Locally Owned

Solar Perimeter Defense is proudly owned and operated by Chris Wheeler, right here in Rio Rancho. When you call, you talk to a real person who lives and works in your community.

02

Attention To Detail

Every panel edge, every clip, every seam. We treat your roof like our own and never cut corners — the difference is in the details you don't see.

03

Professional Workmanship

Clean, precise installations that look like they belong. Our critter guard is engineered to be effective and nearly invisible from the ground.

04

Quality Materials

We use marine-grade stainless steel mesh built to survive intense New Mexico sun, wind and monsoon storms for a decade or more.

05

Customer Satisfaction

We're not done until you're thrilled. Our reputation is built one five-star neighbor at a time.
