PV panels are high-value assets distributed across large areas. Their mounting systems can also create points of attack
where standard hardware can be cut, loosened or removed.
Existing Vulnerabilities
Existing Vulnerabilities
U-Bolts
Standard U-bolts can provide an accessible cutting point.
Risers
Thin riser components may provide limited resistance to physical attack
Panel Frames
Aluminium frames and standard fastening arrangements can be vulnerable.
Standard Nuts
Conventional nuts can easily be removed. Shear nuts are extremely difficult to remove
