Security that can be insured
We help insurers to identify risks at an early stage, minimize damage and create real security- from construction to operational phase.
One slip point is enough - and the damage is done
The reality:
Many solar parks rely on simple fence monitoring with a camera. But professional perpetrators only need one unprotected spot – once they get through, they can operate undetected.
The result:
Damage in the five- to six-figure range, despite alleged security measures.
viamon prevents exactly that:
Our systems not only protect the perimeter, but also the valuable components themselves – with intelligent sensor technology, alarm networking and real-time analysis. In this way, we not only detect intruders, but also unusual activities directly on cables, inverters or modules and, if damage occurs, keep it to a minimum.
Why viamon? 15 years of experience in PV Security
Over 15 years of experience in the field of photovoltaic Security
Numerous monitored systems worldwide
Close cooperation with investigating authorities, insurers & operators
Findings from real loss events: Copper, cables, inverters, modules
Technological leadership: sensor fusion, AI, drone integration
Recognizing potential damage - and preventing it
Current situation:
70-80 % of damage affects copper & cable
Thieves operate in organized groups, with insider knowledge
Construction sites and large facilities often confusing & poorly protected
Traditional systems (cameras, fences) take effect too late or not at all
Weak points:
No consistent alarm concepts
No adaptation to new risk situations
Suppression of risks due to cost pressure
Inside jobs through subcontractors and lack of control
Solution approach: insurable security from the outset
Our services for insurers:
Risk analyses before construction and operation
Security concepts that work on modules, cables & inverters
Early warning systems & intelligent sensor technology (movement, vibration, AI)
Cooperation with alarm trackers, authorities & investigators
Assistance with claims & technical forensics
Optional:
Development of individual Security standards
Participation in pilot projects & innovation tests
Advice on cyber risks & IT security (ISO/IEC 27001, BSI 200-x)
Creating standards together - for safe PV projects
We are working with insurers, brokers, authorities, security companies and customers to develop new standards for the security of PV systems – including for agri-PV and new business models.
