Connectivity · PV & hybrid sites

Connectivity that keeps solar farms generating and secure.

From inverter and SCADA data to export metering, grid signalling and site security — we engineer and manage one resilient, OT-aware link across wide, remote PV and hybrid sites.

What's included

Every signal a solar farm depends on — carried and protected.

PV sites are wide, low-rise and remote, with critical data flowing from inverters, meters and grid interfaces. We engineer one managed link that keeps generation visible, metering accurate and the site secure.

Multi-bearer resilient link

Satellite, 4G/5G, fibre and fixed wireless held live with automatic failover so a single outage never takes the site offline.

Inverter & SCADA backhaul

Reliable transport for inverter, string-level and SCADA data so generation and faults are visible in real time, wherever the site is.

Generation & export metering comms

Dependable connectivity for generation and export metering, keeping settlement and reporting data flowing accurately.

OT-aware segmentation

Operational technology kept on its own segments and away from general traffic, with policy that protects control systems from the open internet.

Site CCTV & perimeter security

Resilient links for cameras, perimeter detection and alarms across long boundaries — countering the real threat of cable and panel theft.

Managed & monitored

We watch the link, bearers and OT segments 24/7 and act on problems before they reach generation, metering or security.

How we deliver

From site survey to a link that runs the whole O&M life.

01

Survey

We assess layout, coverage, line-of-sight and power, and map every inverter, meter and grid interface that needs to talk.

02

Engineer

We design the bearer mix and OT-aware segmentation, procure circuits and pre-stage equipment ready to run.

03

Install

Our engineers deploy on site, test every path and OT segment, and hand over a documented, secured link.

04

Manage

Ongoing monitoring, failover, secure remote access and support keep the site reliable for the life of the asset.

Site types & lifecycle

Built for the way solar sites are actually run.

Whether it's a utility-scale field, a commercial rooftop or a hybrid solar-plus-storage site, we tailor connectivity to the assets, the grid interface and the phase you're in.

We cover the full lifecycle — standing up temporary links for construction and commissioning, then transitioning to a permanent, monitored service for long-term operations and maintenance.

Part of a complete connectivity and security stack.

Solar connectivity rarely stands alone. We join it up with the wider services your site relies on.

Backup & failover

Multiple bearers with automatic failover keep SCADA, metering and security online. Backup & failover connectivity.

SD-WAN

Intelligent path selection and central policy across multi-site portfolios. SD-WAN.

CCTV & security

Cameras and perimeter detection that deter cable and panel theft. CCTV.

Cyber security assessments

OT-aware reviews of the segmentation and remote access protecting your controls. Cyber security assessments.

AI integrations

Turn inverter and SCADA data into alerts and insight. AI integrations.

Site surveys

The groundwork behind every dependable design. Site surveys.

New or remote sites often start with our rural internet connectivity service before layering on OT and security.

Questions

Solar farm connectivity — your questions answered.

Can you monitor inverters and SCADA on a solar site with no fibre?
Yes. Where there is no fibre we backhaul inverter, string-level and SCADA data over a blend of 4G/5G, satellite and fixed wireless, engineered for the throughput and latency your monitoring platform needs. See our rural internet connectivity service.
How do you protect a solar farm against cable and panel theft?
We deliver resilient connectivity for CCTV, perimeter detection and alarms across wide, low-rise sites, with links held live on multiple bearers so an intruder cutting one path does not take security offline. See our CCTV service.
Can you carry export metering and DNO or ANM grid signalling?
Yes. We provide reliable comms for generation and export metering and for DNO and Active Network Management signalling, kept on a separate segment from general site traffic for integrity and security.
How do you handle secure remote access for inverter and O&M vendors?
We give vendors controlled, audited remote access into the OT network without exposing it to the open internet, using OT-aware segmentation and policy so each party only reaches what they should. Our cyber security assessments can validate the setup.
Can you cover both the construction phase and long-term O&M?
Yes. We stand up connectivity for the construction and commissioning phase, then transition it to a permanent, monitored O&M service so the site is covered end to end. It usually starts with our site surveys.
