Energy and utilities
Solar farms
Inverter, SCADA and CCTV connectivity for ground-mount and rooftop solar sites. Most solar farms are in fields a long way from any fixed line, so cellular is the normal way to connect them.

Technologies used: 5G4G LTESIM, eSIM and IP addressingeSIMFixed wireless access (FWA)Antennas and signal
Typical set-ups
Inverter and data logger monitoring
The data logger collects inverter and meter data and sends it to the monitoring platform. Data use is low; reliability is what matters, so use a multi-network SIM and an industrial router with connection monitoring.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUT956 or RUT951 with a multi-network data SIM.
Perimeter CCTV on a solar farm
Cameras on the fence line need upload capacity and, often, a separate connection from the SCADA network. 5G or Cat 6 with a directional antenna gives the best results on remote sites.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUTM30 or RUTC50 and a Poynting XPOL-2 directional antenna.
Things to check before you buy
- Signal at the substation or inverter cabin, which is often the lowest point on the site.
- Separate control and CCTV traffic.
- Remote management for sites that are hours away.
From Teltonika
Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: intelligent solar energy management with the RUTC41, remote monitoring of solar power plants. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.
Talk to an M2M and IoT connectivity specialist. Every site is different. Tell us what you need to connect, where it is and how you want to manage it, and our UK team will recommend the router, antenna and SIM, with configuration options if you want it ready to plug in.
Questions
How much data does solar monitoring use?
Usually well under 1GB a month for the data logger. CCTV is the big user, so size the data plan around the cameras.
