We for Elektro Freitag in Great Britain
The solar park „Ford Farm“ situated in Cornwall, south of England, in operation for about 2 years by now has to be upgraded in regards of security systems. Elektro Freitag from Parsberg in Germany is the EPC and as we have already done some security systems for solar farms with Elektro Freitag it seemed likely to do this project together again.
The solar park has to be monitored with day/night cameras. For perfect night vision we will install additional, powerful infrared spotlights. After intensive in house planning we decided on 40 fixed cameras with supporting infrared spotlights. Our services involve planning, complete installation (cabling is done by a local firm), initial operation as well as surveillance via remote control.
A special challenge was the planning of the security system. The solar park was already in operating state therefore we had to consider the shortest and most efficient cable routes. We also had to consider the local specification of guidelines in quite a short time.
Due to the good cooperation of all involved, especially the interaction of pre-assembly and assembly on site we were able to carry out this project very swiftly.
