The Challenge
Large sites need to be secured quickly while balancing theft deterrence, durability, access control, visibility and site conditions.
Solar farms require secure, durable and practical perimeter systems that protect high-value infrastructure while allowing visibility, controlled access and long-term outdoor performance.
Customer
EPC contractors, solar developers and renewable energy asset owners.
Value Proposition

Product Selection Guide
Which specification is right for this application?
Use this as a practical starting point. Final selection should consider site conditions, drawings, project specifications and applicable standards.
| Requirement | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|
| General solar farm perimeter | Anti-climb mesh panels with galvanised posts and secure fixings. |
| Higher security risk | Anti-climb mesh with razor wire or barbed wire topping. |
| Remote site access control | Vehicle gates, personnel gates and lockable access hardware. |
| Wildlife or livestock interface | Add wildlife exclusion mesh or lower aperture protection. |
| Coastal or exposed site | Specify enhanced galvanising, powder coating or stainless options where suitable. |
Note: Confirm project-specific fencing, coating, wind, security and engineering requirements before final specification.

FAQs
Common questions
What fencing is commonly used for solar farms?
Anti-climb mesh is commonly selected where visibility, security and perimeter durability are important. The final specification should consider site risk, required height, access points and exposure conditions.
Can gates be included in a solar farm security package?
Yes. Personnel gates, vehicle gates and access-control-ready gate arrangements can be included as part of the perimeter package.
When should wildlife exclusion mesh be considered?
Wildlife exclusion mesh should be considered where animals may enter the site, damage assets or create maintenance and safety issues.
