Most solar park projects are located in remote areas, where land is affordable and the sparse population provides
easier acceptance, permitting and operation. Unfortunately, these remote locations are vulnerable to attacks of
vandalism, theft and terrorism. Today, there is an alarming increase in the incidents of theft and damage to solar
farms, which impacts the production of electric power.
Fences alone are not enough to deter or stop determined intruders. Deploying fiber optic perimeter sensors on
fences and barriers to detect and prevent unauthorized entry are key elements to a comprehensive security
program.
