Good points by other comments, yet I see a benefit to those of use with birds building their nests and becoming very noisy throughout the early morning.

Depending on where you are, solar panels have a tendency to become a place for bugs to lay down their egg sacks on panels and for bees and wasps to find shelter and build nests under panels on the racking structure, so it is six of one half a dozen of another. I’ve witnessed mice fitting through what looked like a 1/2″ crack between a floor and wall, I have found wasp nests in electrical boxes with no more than about 1/4″ of space entry space around a cable, so what is the goal, asthetics or functionality and efficiency?

Very Bad Indeed just like John said, plus this invention installation will minimize or eliminate the air flow between the shingles and panels which keep both cooler! Solar Panels are more efficient and more effective when it’s cooler and not hot! Why add something that we don’t need at all?

This product is a bad idea. It will facilitate leaf build-up under the array which increases fire risk. It will also prevent solar technicians from being able to look under the array from the ground or from the ladder leaning up on the roof edge to spot wire management issues, if they exist. Aesthetic considerations should never trump functionality/serviceability, much less introduce the potential for a new hazard.
