Case Study: Leading UK Solar Power Service Provider achieves centralised 24/7 perimeter security, eliminates manned guarding and cuts costs with Xtralis ADPRO

Multi-site perimeter security solution for £2 billion solar park

A leading UK solar operator running 40 sites with around £2 billion of assets needed reliable, cost-effective 24/7 perimeter security to replace manned guarding. The remote locations, high-value equipment and planning requirements to reintroduce grazing livestock created two key challenges: prevent theft while avoiding animal-triggered false alarms, all during difficult winter installation conditions.

Installers ISD‑Tech trialled solutions and chose Xtralis’ ADPRO suite (FastTrace 2E and IntrusionTrace), which uses low-bandwidth 3G links and carries HOSDB/i‑LIDS primary-detection approval. The system paid for itself within 12 months, enabled central remote monitoring, prevented attempted break-ins, reduced false alarms through remote adjustment, allowed livestock to return eight months after installation, and delivered insurer sign-off with lower ongoing costs.
