What Are Our Solar Farm Security Services?
Our solar farm security keeps your site covered when nobody is on it, which, on most solar farms, is most of the time. You get SIA-licensed officers managing access control at your gates, mobile patrols checking the perimeter and cameras watched by highly trained officers 24/7.
Our technology packages add another layer of security. Solar-powered CCTV towers put monitored surveillance at any point of your solar farm’s boundary, even without a fixed power supply. And wireless ProEyez detectors add AI-powered intrusion detection that can automatically identify suspicious activity and raise the alarm.
Everything is overseen by our National Operations Centre, where manned security teams assess alerts for genuine security threats and act, organising rapid response capabilities or escalating to emergency services.
What Makes Solar Farm Security So Important?
Solar farms in remote, rural locations leave ground-mounted panels, copper cabling and high value equipment where it’s vulnerable to organised crime gangs. This type of equipment sells quickly, so your solar farm is a prime target for theft and malicious trespass if it’s left unguarded. And that’s before you consider the longer term costs from disruption to your power generation.
Some of your main risk factors include:
- Unfenced or growing perimeters, especially during construction phases
- High-value copper cabling, power inverters and panels sitting on open ground
- Your site is remote and far from local emergency services response
- Financial risks from downtime and equipment replacement
How Does Our Solar Farm Security Work?
Our solar farm security includes a combination of static and mobile security guards alongside state of the art CCTV and intruder detection. Officers on site enforce strict access control, verify contractor credentials and log vehicle entry and exist, while mobile patrols check your fencing and security equipment for signs of tampering as well as providing a physical deterrence.
CCTV towers and ProEyez wireless intrusion detection expand your security coverage, monitoring blind spots and providing 24/7 surveillance, with feeds monitored at all times from our National Operations Centre or from your gatehouse.
Operators are trained to assess genuine security threats and can respond to alarm activations by deploying rapid response guards to the site, or they can escalate incidents to the emergency services when needed.
Protect Your Insurance and Policy Compliance
Security is often a strict requirement for your solar farm insurance and is something you need to be able to prove. Failing to put compliant, auditable security measures in place could potentially invalidate any coverage.
ProFM’s security measures give you full compliance protection:
- NSI Gold accredited CCTV installation and monitoring
- Timestamped security logs and digital incident reports
- Independently certified SIA Approved Contractor status for all our guards
- Video evidence captured and formatted for insurance claims and police investigations
Protect Your Solar Farm From Unauthorised Access
Your security has to deal with frequent authorised visits from maintenance engineers and technicians who need to be properly monitored, ensuring only those authorised to be on your site get through without impacting their work.
Our gatehouse security and access control reduce risk by carrying out permit to work checks before allowing anyone on site and can conduct safety inductions as needed. Security guards verify all contractor credentials against the day’s approved list, keeping accurate time of site registers and monitoring contractors on site through CCTV.
Timestamped logs keep accurate inventory of any vehicles entering your perimeter so you can complete transparency and control over who is getting onto your solar farm.

View CCTV Tower ServicesFrequently Asked Questions
Still got a Question?Keep security fencing and gates in good repair, limit access points and review your security measures each year. Add detection and response that includes officer attendance, not just an automated message. CCTV systems or ProEyez detectors spot intruders early and officers or patrols make sure someone acts on the alerts.
No single security system suits every farm. For solar farms without mains power, wireless and solar-powered security systems like CCTV towers and ProEyez detectors are the practical choice for protecting solar panels because they don’t need cables laid across your land.
For most deployments, we can have security guards on site the same day you enquire, or the following morning at the latest. Our average incident response time is 30 minutes. CCTV towers and security technology are built for rapid deployment because they don’t need any cabling to a mains supply.
Solar farm security costs depend on the size of your farm and the level and combination of services you need. For example, a large farm with a long perimeter and multiple access points can expect to spend more on security services than a small site just in need of a mobile patrol.
Alerts from your CCTV towers or ProEyez AI detection system come through directly to our NOC, where an operator assesses the alarm and responds by either deploying a security patrol or alerting the emergency services.
