Solar Farm CCTV

Clearway provides solar farm CCTV solutions that monitor large sites, detect intrusions, and offer 24/7 monitoring to prevent theft and vandalism. Solar farm CCTV is a surveillance system designed to monitor solar farms using cameras and remote alerts to detect intrusions and prevent theft and vandalism.

Solar farms are an integral part of the fast-emerging renewable energy infrastructure in the UK. But, as more solar farms crop up, providing vital revenue sources for landowners and farmers, so too do the reports of targeted, professional thefts, opportunistic crimes, and criminal damage.

Clearway’s surveillance expertise is second to none, and we provide CCTV solutions specific to the needs and limitations of solar farms, ensuring they’re continually protected from all manner of security threats. With the latest AI surveillance, our solar farm CCTV protects the entirety of even the largest sites.

We offer:

  • Experience in the specifics of solar farm vulnerabilities and a wealth of previous installation
  • Access to the latest surveillance tech, including AI-enabled and automated security cameras, that provide enhanced functionality and protection.
  • Autonomous solar and battery-powered CCTV, ideal for solar farms lacking mains power, and for perimeters in isolated or rural settings.
  • Ongoing CCTV monitoring 24/7, 365 days a year, through our NSI Gold Cat II accredited Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and highly trained responders.
  • Flexible CCTV coverage, from permanent installations to temporary hire, to cover periods of elevated risk or high-value material movements.
  • Comprehensive assistance from initial risk assessments to system configuration, installation, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance.

CCTV Towers To Monitor Solar Farms

Mast and tower-mounted CCTV towers deter crime and are visible at a distance. Advances in capabilities mean that autonomously powered CCTV towers incorporate the latest functions and features, with high-resolution bullet cameras, low-light sensors, audible alarms, and intelligent analytics to trigger notifications, automated recording, sirens, and emergency responses while differentiating between genuine and false alarms.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection Devices (PIDs)

PIDs are ideally suited to rural locations or larger sites with extensive physical boundaries where a virtual perimeter can safeguard against intrusions. These rapid deployment devices can be positioned around your most valuable assets or the full boundary of the solar farm, creating an interconnected blanket of security that can detect covert intrusion attempts and activate the necessary security response.

Temporary CCTV Hire

Short-term CCTV hire provides solar farm owners with access to advanced security during periods of heightened risk, often when transporting valuable solar cells and panels, when constructing and installing solar farm infrastructure, or when integrating longer-term security. This ensures your site is protected from break-ins, thefts, and burglaries from day one onwards.

video verified alarm systems

Video Verified Cameras

Designed for independent functionality at sites, buildings, or premises away from the mains grid, video-verified cameras utilise commercial-grade batteries and automatically capture a series of images when any movement, trigger or suspicious activity is detected.

Our response teams analyse those captures immediately, verifying whether a genuine disturbance requires rapid intervention or when the motion is related to wildlife.

24/7 CCTV Monitoring

Our highly accredited ARC teams provide continual oversight over your solar farm CCTV with pre-agreed protocols, liaison contacts, and responses.

From communicating with the emergency services to pre-empting and de-escalating emerging threats or break-in attempts or confirming that an alarm is false and does not require an urgent call-out, we deal with every alarm and alert at all times of day or night.

AI people recognition

AI CCTV

AI functionality adds to the power of solar farm CCTV, incorporating features like facial recognition, vehicle number plate detection, automatic biometric scanning, smart movement and behavioural analytics, and suspicious activity tracking.

This level of scrutiny can pre-empt potential threats and ensure these are investigated or prevented before an incident occurs.

What Do We Protect Against?

CCTV surveillance has long been vital to the security of high-value sites, and installing always-on cameras with high-visibility signage and warning notices is often ideal for solar farms, ensuring their sites are marked out as under constant supervision.

Some of the many threats solar farm owners need to combat and which we can mitigate or eliminate include:

Solar Panel Theft:

Solar panels are valuable and a prime criminal target. CCTV can detect any movement inside your boundary, including ATVs or concealed entry attempts, to ensure each installation is fully protected.

Asset Stripping:

Equipment and accessories housed either alongside solar panels or in a central building are equally exposed to theft, with copper wiring, converters, and inverters that need to be shielded from targeted robberies even during initial construction phases.

Vandalism:

Rural and isolated solar farms can attract mindless vandalism or deliberate criminal damage, which can result in significant repair costs and downtime. Preventing access and implementing wide-coverage surveillance deters intruders and ensures that your solar farm is never perceived as an easy target.

Trespassing:

Both intentional trespassing and accidental passing over boundary lines can be a safety hazard, especially in rural settings with public access and rights of way close by. Installing fencing, warnings, and cameras with audible alerts can improve awareness and ensure there is no risk of a person accidentally crossing over your perimeter.

Frequently asked questions

Solar farms, a valuable part of the renewable energy network, commonly present an easy target, with high-cost solar panels and equipment installed in locations that are out of view, away from major roads, and often challenging to protect with traditional solutions.

Police have reported spikes in solar farm intrusions, which cost the sector a staggering £49.5 million in just 12 months. Thieves often use sophisticated approaches such as drones to verify whether gates, security cameras, or security guards are present.

In most cases, yes, high-resolution CCTV cameras with warnings, geofenced perimeters, and clear signage deter the vast majority of thieves, who know that captures may lead to arrest and prosecution. However, for solar farms with more pronounced risks, we may also recommend physical boundaries, security fencing, access controls, and guard patrols to augment the effectiveness of CCTV surveillance.
