Renewable Energy Protection: Solar Panels

Solar panels have become an increasingly popular source of renewable energy, powering homes and businesses across the world. However, they are also vulnerable to theft, causing economic damage and a significant impact on the energy supply and the environment.

The Costs and Repercussions of Solar Panel Theft:

Theft of solar panels is a growing concern worldwide. In the UK alone, it is estimated that around 5000 solar panels were stolen in 2019, costing businesses and homeowners millions of pounds. Solar panel theft can also have an impact on the environment, as stolen panels are often discarded improperly, causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, the loss of solar panels leads to energy supply disruptions, affecting businesses, homes, and the community.

According to a report by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, more than 10,000 solar panels were stolen or vandalized in Europe in 2020 alone. The report also states that the UK, Italy, and Germany are the countries most affected by solar panel theft and vandalism.

One of the most effective ways to prevent solar panel theft is to install efficient perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS). D-Fence's innovative technology based on pressure sensors is designed to detect and respond to human intruders. Every bit of the panel is sensitive to the attempt of theft (the underpanel, the bolts, the strings, etc). By applying a multiple security layer system, D-Fence secures your equipment and commits to creating zero false alarms when it's system operates. With D-Fence's PIDS, solar panel owners can enjoy the peace of mind and protect their valuable environment.

This technology is fully patented and certified by the EU regulation.
