Solar Farms Security Solutions
Solar farms, which have large areas of solar panels, have special security challenges. One main problem is that they can be easily robbed or damaged because they are often in remote areas.
Thieves may steal valuable parts like copper wiring, solar panels, and inverters, causing financial losses as well as a disruption in energy production.
Live Video Monitoring for Solar Farms
Stealth Monitoring’s customized video surveillance solutions work in real time and are designed to catch events as they happen. We watch when there is activity, not relying on motion sensors, using a combination of advanced technology and human intelligence.
Our operators can continuously monitor the site for unwanted activity, potential vandalism, or equipment failures. This proactive approach not only can deter intruders but also helps ensure a swift response to incidents, minimizing downtime and costly damages.

Security Concerns
Security Guards
The vast size and remote locations of many solar farms make it challenging for guards to patrol the entire area effectively. This can cause blind spots where theft or vandalism can go unnoticed. In addition, relying on humans alone can result in slower response times compared to proactive security solutions, which can provide real-time alerts and constant monitoring without fatigue.
Theft
Theft of valuable components like solar panels, copper wiring, and inverters is one of the primary security concerns for solar farms. These items can be targeted because of their high resale value. The remote locations of many solar farms can also make them particularly vulnerable to thefts.
Trespassing
Trespassers can pose risks to themselves and the solar farm infrastructure. Unauthorized visitors might inadvertently damage equipment or interfere with operations.
Security Expenses
Drive-by patrol services are rarely on-site and can be easily bypassed. Other camera systems that are not being watched will not produce the same results as Stealth’s proven proactive solution.
Vandalism
Vandalism poses a significant risk that can lead to costly damage and disruptions in energy production. Acts of vandalism can include defacing panels, damaging wiring, and breaking security equipment and result in downtime and expensive repairs.
Natural Disasters & Extreme Weather
Solar farms are typically located in open areas, which makes them vulnerable to damage from severe weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, or hailstorms. These extreme conditions can cause significant physical damage to equipment and infrastructure, which can have disastrous consequences.
Security Applications for Solar Farms
Live Video Monitoring
Help maintain a secure environment while minimizing liability and reducing costly guard expenses. We can watch perimeter fences, access points, gates and other vulnerable areas.
We Watch Your Cameras
Keep your existing cameras and add the power and value of Stealth Monitoring’s live video monitoring services to watch and deter crime before it happens. Make your cameras go to work for you proactively instead of just viewing unfortunate events after-the-fact.
Gate and Access Control

License Plate Recognition
Clearly capture license plate numbers of cars entering your parking areas in real time. Perfect for tracking visitors and security enforcement.
Thermal Imaging
Because they sense objects based on the heat they radiate, thermal cameras see things the human eye and standard cameras cannot, providing clear images in daylight, darkness, shadows and inclement weather.
Video Review & Analysis
Our dedicated review team can search through hours of video footage to investigate any issues you may have during monitoring and non-monitoring hours.
