LiteSUN
entry-level protection for PV plants
LiteSun analyzer
Ideal sensor as a basic anti-theft device for solar panels, detects when the signal is interrupted following the cutting of the fiber. Suggested for rooftop systems or in the presence of other alarm systems to be integrated.
Anti-theft for PV systems to protect each single photovoltaic panel
LiteSUN is the entry-level anti-theft sensor for photovoltaic panels, recommended for protecting installations that are difficult to reach (such as rooftop systems) or for integration with anti-intrusion/video surveillance systems.
LiteSUN generates an encrypted light signal, detects the cutting of the plastic fiber, and generates an alarm following the interruption of the cable.
Vibrations do not create variations in the light signal: therefore, they do not trigger the alarm. The entire photovoltaic panel protection system is particularly robust against false alarms.
LiteSUN is supplied with special tamper-proof cone-head bolts designed by us: the countersunk head makes tampering/removal more difficult without breaking the fiber that passes through the hole in the bolt itself. Their use avoids the need to drill the panels, thus preserving the frame and the panel’s warranty. The device can transmit, receive, or amplify the signal: different installation configurations are possible depending on the customer’s needs.
LiteSUN can be installed with a ring connection, with a point-to-point connection, or with a cascade connection; the light signal can be repeated by adding other devices every maximum of 300m. If the analysis board is used as a signal repeater, the installer decides whether to keep a separate alarm output for each individual device or to group them.
The device is very easy and quick to install, requires no programming or configuration, and is an effective low-cost solution.
Suggested for the protection of systems in remote, unattended areas, in connection with an acoustic signaling device such as a siren (optional).
For example, for the protection of photovoltaic panels used to power communication towers, water wells, villages not reached by electricity…
