El Salvador. Two new solar plants, located in Tecoluca and Quezaltepeque, rely on self-sustaining CCTV Security Systems to guarantee the protection of their perimeter fence of 3,000 and 3,500 meters, respectively.
LiveSmart Technologies, was the company in charge of installing the CCTV solution in both plants simultaneously, during the last quarter of 2022. These spaces dedicated to the generation of renewable energy are located in the departments of San Vicente (Tecoluca) and La Libertad (Quezaltepeque).
In general, the Security Systems that were put into operation are poles with solar panels, consisting of: thermal cameras with video analytics from our ally Hikvision, as well as wireless antennas with switch, solar controllers and gel battery bank. NVR recorders, alarm center and access control, plus other confidential elements. All approved by the international EPC members of both projects that together add 38MW to the installed capacity.
Savings achieved
By installing Self-sustaining Solar Poles in the perimeter fences, a saving of 6,500 meters of fiber optic cable plus power cable is verified, avoiding all trenching, ducts and civil works over long distances.
"Thanks to this design, engineering and efficient installation and commissioning, LiveSmart already has upcoming contracted projects for Central America and the Caribbean, so we thank Constituent and EPC customers who have trusted in our Self-sustaining CCTV Security solutions for Solar Plants, Critical Infrastructures and Large Extensions," said Nolberto Muñoz, General Manager and spokesman for LiveSmart Technologies.
It is worth noting that the LiveSmart Technologies team traveled from Chile to the Republic of El Salvador for approximately 6 weeks to carry out the installation and leave the Self-Sustainable CCTV Security System in operation.
