attackers/thiefs

and effective on the

first attempt

The aim

Photovoltaic (PV) power plants are increasingly the target of theft and vandalism. Whether PV modules, inverters, transformers or copper cables, everything is a target for theft or vandalism.
Conventional measures such as fences, cameras or alarm systems are often unable to prevent such attacks.
Insurance providers demand preventive solutions, and operators are keen to minimize risk, downtime and insurance costs. viamon’s goal is to protect your investment and all associated components with the best possible security concept & our sensor solution.

Our solution

viamon offers an intelligent, fully integrated PV protection system specifically tailored to the unique requirements of solar installations.
It provides reliable, proactive protection for all critical components – including PV modules, string inverters, DC/AC cabling, combiner boxes and transformers – while helping to reduce long-term costs.

Our approach

Our system works with intelligent sensors and detection units that are installed directly on the field.
They monitor the PV infrastructure in real time and react immediately to tampering or unauthorized access. As soon as suspicious activity is detected, the system can trigger a response and alarm:

 

  • Light and sound to deter intruders

  • Real-time notifications to security personnel and authorities

  • GPS-based tracking in the event of theft

Typical areas of application

  • Ground-mounted PV systems

  • Solar parks in remote areas

  • Hybrid and off-grid energy systems

Our recommendation

For a complete and highly effective security system that protects all the assets of a solar park, we recommend the following combination:

  • MDS-P/I/T/PIR for the protection of PV modules, inverters, cables & motion-based perimeter detection

  • Light and Sound/Warning bar – for immediate deterrence on site

  • Signs – to indicate active monitoring

  • Optional/if useful: Supplemented by CCTV
