Solar Farm Security

Design solar farm perimeter security with terrain-backed evidence.

SighThor helps security consultants plan visible and thermal camera layouts across solar farm perimeters, compare nominal DORI zones against selected terrain, and prepare draft evidence for insurers and asset owners to review.

Pain Points

Why solar farm security designs miss the mark

The combination of vast perimeters, undulating terrain, and mixed sensor types makes flat-plan camera design unreliable.

Solar farms have vast perimeters across undulating terrain where cable theft and panel damage are concentrated at the boundary — exactly where camera coverage is hardest to verify.
Mixed thermal and visible camera layouts are difficult to design on paper because each sensor type has different range characteristics and terrain sensitivity.
Insurers and asset owners increasingly demand documented evidence that the security design covers the perimeter to a defined standard, not just a site plan with camera dots.

Capabilities

What the solar farm workflow delivers

Coverage analysis built for the specific challenges of renewable energy site security.

Terrain-masked perimeter coverage

Preview how the selected terrain source may affect perimeter coverage and flag dips, ridges, and drainage channels for field review.

DORI zone analysis

Compare nominal detection and identification distances from configured sensor and lens inputs with IEC 62676-4 reference thresholds.

Thermal and visible pairing

Place thermal and visible cameras and compare nominal coverage characteristics and overlap assumptions before field validation.

Professional report export

Export PDF reports with site maps, DORI zone overlays, and camera schedules for insurers, asset owners, or procurement teams.

Solar farm template

Start from a perimeter-focused template with typical pole-mount heights and detection-range assumptions for solar park security.

Workflow

From satellite view to security evidence in four steps

Use the selected terrain source to test assumptions before poles go in the ground; field validation remains required.

  1. 01

    Create a project and navigate to the solar farm on the satellite map to see the actual panel layout and perimeter fence line.

  2. 02

    Place cameras at pole positions along the perimeter, choosing visible or thermal presets with appropriate mounting heights.

  3. 03

    Run nominal DORI analysis to compare detection and identification thresholds along the fence line and flag terrain assumptions for review.

  4. 04

    Export the coverage map, camera schedule, and PDF report for the asset owner, insurer, or installation contractor.

Turn a site brief into an inspectable planning draft.

Start with terrain-aware geometry, then review every source, limitation and field check.
