Terranova Solar, the second largest ground mounted solar farm in Belgium, is a pioneer in sustainable energy production. With 55,000 solar panels generating 17MW of electricity annually, they provide green power to over 4,000 families. Additionally, Terranova Solar explores innovative solutions like hydrogen storage to support industrial applications and eco-friendly freight transport.

The challenge

As Terranova Solar aimed to provide clean energy on a monumental scale — spanning 22 hectares with 55,000 solar panels — they confronted a distinctive challenge. The sheer size of their expansive site posed a unique security concern. Ensuring rapid intrusion detection and immediate verification of the exact location of any breach became imperative in safeguarding this vast installation.

The solution

Terranova Solar partnered with GDW Security, who installed 46 cameras all equipped with S360 boxes, across Terranova Solar's site. The introduction of Secury360's S360 box is a game-changer. It enables the rapid verification of intrusions either through the control room or the Secury360 mobile app, offering real-time visibility into the unfolding events and precise intrusion locations. This crucial capability empowers quick responses onsite, effectively deterring potential thefts and ensuring the security of the entire facility.

"With Secury360, we proactively prevent copper theft and ensure the security of this solar farm. The system not only protects the installation but also the approach, deterring intruders before they can reach critical areas. Secury360's innovative solution has proven its worth, preventing incidents and providing peace of mind."
