Copper theft at solar parks – prevention is the best defence

Once again, copper thieves have targeted a solar park. Near Bretzfeld, unknown perpetrators stole copper cables, causing damage amounting to several tens of thousands of euros. In addition to the cost of the stolen material, there are often significant follow-on costs arising from repairs, loss of revenue and operational disruptions.

Such incidents show that conventional fences alone no longer provide adequate protection. It is crucial to detect attempted break-ins at the perimeter of the site and trigger an alarm immediately.
