☀️ As solar energy systems become more common on commercial properties, they are also becoming increasingly attractive targets for theft and vandalism.
While entire solar panels are sometimes stolen, criminals more often target valuable components such as copper wiring, inverters, batteries, and other electrical equipment connected to the system.
In one Indiana incident, thieves stole approximately 90 solar panels from a solar facility after breaching the property's perimeter, resulting in an estimated loss of $20,000.
Schools, churches, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, apartment complexes, and other commercial properties with solar installations can all be vulnerable when suspicious activity goes undetected.
That's why early detection matters. A layered security approach that combines intrusion detection, video verification, and monitored response can help deter criminal activity, reduce losses, and minimize costly downtime.
Protecting your investment starts before a loss occurs.
