Why Partner With Us?

Perimeter fence and CCTV camera on a solar farm

More than 650 UK sites in the renewable energy sector have trusted us since 2012 to design out crime, reduce risk and ensure authorised access and safe operation throughout the site’s lifecycle.

Our involvement starts at the planning stage. We offer turnkey security and fire protection systems from solar farm and BESS site construction through to full-scale operation.

Groundworks and cable routing are handled via our turnkey solar civils packages, while high-value compounds are safeguarded with PD 6662 compliant solar intruder protection and critical infrastructure is protected through BESS and solar fire detection systems.

Our Approach to Solar and BESS Security

GBSG accredited system designs focus on perimeter CCTV with advanced video analytics, compliant with BS 8418:2021, supported by robust access control. All equipment is selected for low-energy performance to optimise long-term cost profiles.

We support solar operators throughout a site’s lifecycle, offering a full-service solution to help manage security and fire risks. Each site’s unique risk profile requires a tailored approach, considering location, accessibility, asset value, site supervision levels and response capability.
