Protect your solar investment before theft becomes a loss.
PV Secure is a wireless theft and tamper detection system for commercial and industrial solar PV installations. It detects panel lifting, movement, vibration, cable tampering and theft attempts, then provides rapid alert notification and monitoring.
Solar PV systems are exposed assets.
PV panels, copper cabling and earth cables are often installed in areas that are difficult to monitor continuously. Standard CCTV and armed response can help, but they may only detect theft after the damage has already started.
Panel theft
Detects lifting, movement and tampering of PV panels.
Cable tampering
Helps identify copper cable and earth cable theft attempts.
Remote sites
Wireless sensors reduce the need for disruptive cabling across the PV array.
A simple protection layer for commercial solar installations.
PV Secure uses wireless tamper sensors linked to an LTE/WiFi hub. When a sensor detects a tamper event, the system sends an alert so the event can be investigated quickly.
- Wireless installation with minimal disruption
- Long-life battery powered sensors
- Hub-based monitoring and alert notification
- Suitable for new or existing PV installations
Install sensors
Tamper sensors are positioned across the PV installation based on the site layout and risk profile.
Connect the hub
The LTE/WiFi hub receives sensor signals and manages alert communication.
Monitor alerts
Tamper events trigger rapid notification for investigation and response.
