Solar Energy Projects Security Solutions

Introduction

Solar energy projects represent substantial investment in the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure. From groundworks through panel installation and grid connection, solar farms contain high-value materials and equipment that are increasingly targeted by organised criminal networks.

This webpage outlines the security challenges faced during solar energy development and the tailored Solar Energy Security solutions provided by Nemesis Consultants across the UK.

Challenges in Solar Energy Development

Solar farms are frequently located in remote or rural areas, making them particularly vulnerable during construction and operational phases. Key risks include:

Copper & Cabling Theft:
Underground cabling, inverter connections and grid infrastructure are prime targets due to resale value.

Panel Theft & Damage:
Solar panels and mounting systems are vulnerable during installation phases.

Inverter & Transformer Targeting:
High-value electrical components can be removed or sabotaged.

Large Perimeter Exposure:
Solar farms often cover extensive land areas that are difficult to monitor without structured patrol systems.

Out-of-Hours Intrusion:
Evenings, weekends and holiday periods present heightened risk.

Protest or Disruption Activity:
Renewable projects may attract activist attention or public opposition.

Without specialist Renewable Energy Security, these risks can result in:

• Delayed project completion
• Financial losses
• Increased insurance costs
• Contractual penalties
• Reputational damage

Comprehensive Site Survey

Before deployment, we conduct a full Security Site Survey including:

• Perimeter mapping
• Vulnerable point identification
• Asset location analysis
• Access route assessment
• Local crime and demographic profiling
• Protest risk evaluation

This informs the development of a structured Security Plan tailored to the solar farm.
