Solar farms cover vast, remote areas, usually with no one on site. Panels, inverters and copper cable are attractive targets, and every outage costs generation revenue. ComPOL protects the whole site and lets you monitor your entire portfolio from one place.

The challenge
Copper cable, panels and inverters are stolen to order, and a single theft can take a site offline for weeks.
How ComPOL helps
Thermal and LiDAR detection catches intruders at the fence line, long before they reach cable routes and inverter stations.
Kilometres of fence in rural locations are impossible to patrol, and response times to remote sites are long.
How ComPOL helps
Continuous perimeter detection with lighting and audio deterrence buys time and stops many incidents before police or guards arrive.
Wildlife, weather and vegetation trigger basic sensors constantly, so genuine alarms get ignored and call-outs waste money.
How ComPOL helps
ComPOL classifies people, vehicles and animals, so your team is only called out when it matters.

ComPOL doesn’t flood your team with raw camera feeds. It filters out the noise, deters intruders on the spot and sends a clear, prioritised alert with evidence when people need to act.

Use cases
Cover long fence lines with LiDAR, radar and thermal detection that works in total darkness.
Protect the high-value equipment that keeps the site generating and connected to the grid.
Watch trenches, combiner boxes and cable runs that are prime targets for copper theft.
Deploy ComPOL Mobile while the farm is being built, when panels and cable are stored on site and most vulnerable.
See every site in one Command & Control view, with consistent alerts and reporting across the portfolio.
Track contractors and equipment on site and know who is where during maintenance visits.
Always-on protection
Immediate Action turns data from multiple sensors into meaningful, actionable intelligence that supports faster detection, decision-making and response.
LiDAR, radar, thermal and PTZ cameras watch the whole site around the clock, in darkness and poor weather where ordinary CCTV struggles.
Onboard processing classifies people, vehicles and animals and applies your rules, so genuine threats are flagged and false alarms are filtered out.
Rules-based lighting and live or pre-recorded audio challenge intruders on approach, so incidents can be stopped before any damage is done.
Command & Control software sends a prioritised alert with video evidence to your team or monitoring centre, ready for action and enforcement.

The fixed version of our technology is meticulously engineered to offer permanent protection for key critical areas. It integrates our comprehensive suite of technological capabilities, ensuring unparalleled security and peace of mind.
A rapid deployment solution which is extendable to 6 metres and is suitable for remote surveillance and lighting. This watch tower, featuring closeable roof doors and anti-climb protection, is deployed at construction sites, monitoring vacant property and public areas.
ComPOL Command & Control Software processes raw data from onboard systems of ComPOL variants in real-time, delivering a comprehensive overview of asset environment activity. By automatically generating sophisticated decision support alerts and contextualising events from combined ComPOL data sources, it significantly reduces the time needed to address security and safety concerns.
ComPOL Asset Tracking employs advanced RFID and UWB technologies across all variants to monitor assets and personnel. This enhances health and safety while providing clients with comprehensive visibility into the movement of individuals and items within their environment.
FAQ
Requirements depend on the site and the ComPOL variant. We survey each site and recommend the right power and connectivity setup, including options for remote locations.
ComPOL classifies what it detects, so animals moving through the site are logged without triggering a call-out, while people and vehicles are flagged for action.
Yes. Command & Control software brings every site into a single view, so your team or monitoring centre can oversee the whole portfolio.
ComPOL Mobile is ideal for the build phase, when materials are stored on site. It can then be replaced with fixed ComPOL units once the farm is operational.
