Row by Row
2025 was a record year for solar — and for solar crime. UK sites alone saw 550 panels (about £100,000) taken in Worcestershire and some 30 km of cabling (about £100,000) stripped in Wiltshire. Thieves often don't bother with the panels at all: pulling a single string cable across a row disables that row's generation instantly.
That's the cascade. An array fails the way a grid does — remove one cable or inverter and you lose not a component but the output of everything wired behind it, then weeks of replacement lead time on top. A small, quiet theft takes down a disproportionate share of the site.
Securing panel fixings, inverter mounts and cable connections at the bolt stops the row-by-row collapse before it starts — and, increasingly, satisfies the insurers underwriting these sites.
