Surveillance cameras are a powerful tool for solar panel security, helping to protect valuable equipment from theft and vandalism. However, the latest generation of AI-enhanced cloud-based video surveillance represents a huge advancement in what these cameras can achieve. Key advantages for protecting solar panels from theft include:
The capital costs of solar PV projects can be enormous, running up into millions of dollars and with parks taking years to realise. Given this, developers want to make the most out of their investment but an increasing practice is threatening this return: theft and vandalism of solar technology.
While locks, alarms, and cameras are the 3 best ways to stop your solar panels from being stolen, there are a few methods that can deter theft and one of those is by marking or engraving your solar panels so that they are easily identifiable if they do get stolen…
We cover an “array” of solar panel security methods to prevent solar panel theft. At best, the theft of solar panels will result in the hassles of an insurance claim. At worst, it can result in the loss of power to critical systems and the endangerment of life.
Vandalism is not always a planned, deliberate crime. Still, it can be caused by disruptive individuals who see a remote field of solar panels as a chance to cause extreme damage without being caught, smashing solar panels and rendering them redundant.
Physically linking solar panel racks together is a straightforward yet effective method to secure them. This approach brings several key benefits for securing solar panels from theft: · Increased removal difficulty: Linking the racks makes it more challenging and time-consuming for thieves to dismantle and steal individual panels.
