Fire Alarm Systems for Solar Farms

Early Fire Detection and Risk Prevention for Solar Energy Sites

While solar farms generate clean energy, they also present inherent fire risks which can result from electrical faults, overheating, weather events, and failures within high voltage battery storage units.

A well-designed fire detection system is critical to preventing equipment and revenue loss, costly downtime, and environmental damage.

Tecserv UK, provides specialist fire alarm systems for solar farms, designed to detect, isolate, and respond quickly to potential fire threats so that the risk of escalation is minimised.

Key Challenges

Fires in remote solar fields can go undetected for long periods — often until serious damage occurs. Our systems can integrate heat and smoke detection, thermal monitoring, and automated alerts to ensure early warning and rapid response.

Common causes of fire include:

  • Arc faults or faulty DC connectors
  • Damaged or degraded cabling
  • Overheated inverters or battery storage systems
  • Poor electrical isolation or maintenance issues
  • Weather events
  • Vandalism and animal damage

Our Approach

Tecserv UK can help you define your needs and assist with the planning, design and installation of a Solar Farm Fire Alarm system that will protect your asset and help provide early warning of risk that may cause a fire.

Working alongside your fire risk assessor, our process will include:

  1. Site Survey & Risk Assessment
    We work alongside your fire risk assessor to inspect the site location, its terrain, access points, layout, existing infrastructure, environmental factors and animal risk and help you define your risk profile.
  2. Concept & System Design
    We produce a scaled plan showing coverage zones, detector locations, video arcs, wiring, communication paths and system integration.
  3. Specification & Proposal
    We propose hardware, software and integration options (e.g. video management, remote monitoring) with cost breakdowns.
  4. Installation & Commissioning
    Our accredited engineers install, test, tune, and commission in line with industry standards.
  5. Monitoring & Response
    We connect systems to a Remote Video Response Centre (RVRC) or central alarm station for 24/7 monitoring, including graded police or private security response.
  6. Maintenance & Support
    We can schedule a programme of regular system maintenance checks to ensure ongoing reliability.
  7. Reporting & Analytics
    Usage logs, incident reports, system health dashboards, and predictive trending help ensure transparency and proactive management.
