Solar Security Starts with the Installation
A solar farm is a collection of valuable physical assets distributed across a large area. Security therefore needs to address more than perimeter fencing and surveillance.

A Layered Security Approach
A Layered Security Approach
1. Physical Protection
Make removal more difficult and time-consuming.
2. Cable Protection
Protect exposed cables and cable exits.
3. Permanent Identification
Give critical equipment a persistent identity.
4. Digital Registration
Maintain an asset record that can support recovery and investigation.
Security Increases the Cost and Risk of Theft
Security Increases the Cost and Risk of Theft
Effective solar security should make theft less attractive by increasing the time, effort and tools required to remove equipment
while improving the ability to identify recovered assets.
