Security & Access Control for Solar Farms

Integrated Protection for High-Value Renewable Energy Sites

Beyond fire protection and CCTV surveillance, physical security and controlled access are critical for the smooth operation of solar farms. With valuable equipment often spread across open ground, protecting entry points and deterring unauthorised access is essential.

At Tecserv UK, we deliver complete security and access control systems that safeguard solar farms from theft, vandalism, and trespass — even in the most remote locations.

Key Challenges

Solar panel installations on farmland often extend over a wide areas encompassing several acres of land. This means perimeters are highly exposed leading to multiple access points and service roads which increase the risk of unauthorised entry.

Similarly, equipment enclosures and control rooms often benefit from controlled access to deter intrusion attempts.

Finally, unauthorised entry may occur at night or during low visibility and so it is important access control and CCTV systems act as an appropriate deterrent.

Our Approach

To address these challenges, Tecserv UK can help you deploy integrated systems that combine perimeter detection, intruder alarms, and intelligent access control for maximum protection.

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

  1. Site Survey & Risk Assessment
    We work alongside your security 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 key access points and the recommended access control system to install.
  3. Specification & Proposal
    We propose options 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.

Our Security Solutions Include:

  • Perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS)
  • Infrared or microwave boundary sensors
  • Gate, turnstile, and lock integration
  • RFID or key-card access for maintenance teams
  • Alarm integration with CCTV and monitoring systems
  • Integration with 24/7 monitoring systems with police or security response
