Theft on solar farms is on the rise. Due to the increasing number of solar farms and the nature of the solar farm set up, these sites face a unique set of risks, including being targeted by opportunistic thieves.
Solar farm security from a market-leader in remote CCTV monitoring
The rising thefts of solar panel farms is an ongoing concern for farmers and landowners across the country. One farmer, who lost 192 solar panels to theft, was quoted in Farmer’s Weekly saying: “My advice to other farmers is put security higher up your priority list…I just wonder if this might be the start of a crime wave.” *
Following a further theft of over 150 panels in the summer of 2019** indicates that thieves are still targeting vulnerable solar farms without adequate solar farm security in place. As more of the country is encouraged to move to green energy supplies, an increasing number of solar farms could still be at risk to intrusion, theft and vandalism.
