[pdf] Solar panel theft has increased by 87% on agricultural properties in the last three years, with the average farm losing $25,000-40,000 per incident. Thieves target farm solar installations due to their remote locations, high resale value, and the difficulty in tracking stolen panels. Unfortunately, what should be a virtuous initiative is giving rise to a new crime wave, with police data. . According to Spotter Global, theft from solar farms was expected to rise throughout 2024, with growing demand for panels making them both easier to sell and more valuable to steal. The costs are staggering—not just in stolen materials, but also in downtime, safety hazards, and ripple effects on the grid.
