In this round-up article, we have collated a selection of our solar farm security articles into one.
Security for solar farms is essential. Operators of utility-scale solar farms are faced with a range of threats including:
- Solar panel theft
- Theft of cable and wiring
- Vandalism and trespass
- Theft of plant machinery
Managing and deterring security threats on solar sites is key to protecting revenue and maintaining operational continuity.
As expert installers of security systems for renewable energy sites, we have been busy creating and publishing a range of content
