Your purchase of solar panels represents a significant investment on your part as either a homeowner or a businessperson. Your contribution not only saves you money, it contributes to the well-being of the planet and future generations. Unfortunately, commercial and home solar panels have become an easy target for enterprising thieves because of their value. As a leading distributor of not only solar panel cleaning systems but also solar panel anti-theft devices, Heliotex, LLC would like to remind you of the importance of securing solar panels.
Solar panels can retail for up to $1,000 each, and stealing these panels presents thieves with a great source of revenue. Two thieves can readily take down an average thirty to fifty panel system in little over an hour. While they may only get a few hundred dollars per panel at a flea market or selling to unscrupulous buyers, it represents a great amount of money for very little
work.
Meanwhile, the victim loses his/her power generation until the panels can be replaced. This may take some time, and owners should carefully consider their replacement options. For example, a government rebate or incentive may be available for a replacement set of panels in your area. Owners should also check with their insurance companies to ensure that their solar panels are covered
