    SolarGard Orbit – Security Fencing System for Solar Farms

    SolarGard Orbit offers solar farms an economical boundary fencing system with built-in anti-climb features. The system is visually appealing with high through-visibility, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its environment.

    Each panel includes ‘V’ shaped folds, which not only provide additional strength but also make the fence harder to climb or grip securely.

    The panels are easily attached to posts using metal clips and fixings, making installation straightforward. The mesh panels can also be stepped to follow ground contours, thanks to the extra pre-drilled holes on each post.

    Why Choose SolarGard Orbit for Solar Farm Boundaries?

    • Complies with British Standard: This system adheres to British Standard 1722-14 for boundary fencing, ensuring you receive a certified and approved system.
    • Single-Wire V-Mesh Design: The single-wire construction minimises material use, making this fencing system more cost-effective.
    • Lifetime Guarantee: Built to endure, SolarGard Orbit comes with a 40-year guarantee, ensuring dependable performance over time.
    • Colour Options: Available in RAL 6005 Moss Green or RAL 9005 Black, giving you a choice between a traditional look or a finish that blends well into the landscape.
    • Coastal Protection: For coastal installations, we offer a double-layer marine powder coating to safeguard against corrosion from saltwater and spray.

    Wildlife Access Gates: Promoting Environmental Sustainability

    At Alexandra, we recognise the need to support wildlife movement around solar farm boundaries. Our specialised wildlife access gates allow small animals, such as badgers and foxes, to pass through safely without compromising the security of your solar farm. These gates are designed to integrate smoothly with all our solar fencing systems.

    • One-Way or Two-Way Access: Customise the gates to open in one or both directions to suit your site’s specific requirements.
    • Eco-Friendly: Maintain natural wildlife routes while ensuring larger animals remain outside the secured area.

    Fixings

    The posts and clips that are offered provide a fixing system which secures the panels but allows for variations. The system is easy to install and allows the panels to be stepped, helping the fence line to follow the contours of the ground. With the vandal resistant security fixings this post and clip system provides a reasonable level of security to any boundary.

    Please note: Posts feature extra stepping holes to allow the fence line to be stepped on sloping ground. When not used, these holes do not require a security screw or clip.

    SolarGard Orbit - Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does SolarGard Orbit compare to Deer Fencing?

    SolarGard Orbit offers a considerable upgrade in security when compared to stock or deer fencing. The weld-mesh panels offer far greater resistance to intruder attacks, damage from weather and damage from animals. Long term maintenance is also greatly reduced.

  • Is SolarGard Orbit wildlife friendly?

    SolarGard Orbit can be fitted with wildlife access gates allow small animals, such as badgers and foxes, to pass through safely without compromising the security of the solar farm. Customise the gates to open in one or both directions to suit your site’s specific requirements. These help maintain natural wildlife routes while ensuring larger animals remain outside the secured area.

  • What type of sites is SolarGard Orbit best suited for?

    SolarGard Orbit is ideal for low-to-medium risk solar farms, particularly in rural or agricultural areas where visual impact and wildlife protection are key considerations. It’s often chosen for sites where planning permission or environmental impact assessments favour fencing that blends into the landscape while still offering a clear security upgrade over agricultural or deer fencing.

  • Is SolarGard Orbit environmentally friendly?

    Yes – SolarGard Orbit is designed with sustainability in mind. Its reduced visual impact, optional wildlife access features, and long service life help minimise disruption to local ecosystems. The galvanised steel panels are also fully recyclable, aligning with the environmental goals of renewable energy projects.

  • What maintenance does SolarGard Orbit require?

    Thanks to its galvanised welded mesh construction, SolarGard Orbit requires very little ongoing maintenance. Unlike traditional stock or timber fencing, it won’t warp, sag or degrade quickly. We recommend occasional visual inspections and basic cleaning as part of a standard solar farm perimeter maintenance plan.
