Vast perimeter security needs
Solar farms are often remote with multiple access points, making traditional gate guards or manual key systems costly and hard to scale
Intelligent Access Control Solutions
Utility ScaleSolar Control
Secure utility scale solar projects with BoxLock. Simplify perimeter security, manage contractor access, and maintain compliance in energized environments while reducing operating costs.
Industry Challenges on Utility Scale Solar Sites
Utility scale projects cover thousands of acres and include high value, high energy infrastructure. Traditional security and manual control methods are difficult to sustain across distributed gates and rotating crews.
High energy density and worker turnover
Frequent contractor access for maintenance, inspections, and installations requires tight control without slowing the jobsite
Compliance in high energy environments
Electrocution remains a leading cause of jobsite fatalities, demanding rigorous access control and lockout protocols
Perimeter Access Control
Utility scale solar projects can span thousands of acres with atypical and non contiguous perimeters. Manual gate management quickly becomes expensive and difficult to scale.
BoxLock removes dependence on manned gate guards with full audit logging, dynamic access controls, and tamper alerts.

Near miss reduction
Typical customers experience a 30x ROI compared to gate guards during energization and a 50%+ reduction in near miss incidents.
Lockout Tagout Procedures
Utility scale solar sites require modern lockout workflows to protect workers and maintain compliance during service and maintenance activities.
Complex energy isolation needs
Combiner boxes, PV systems, substations, and BESS require precise isolation and verification
Distributed assets across expansive sites
The decentralized nature of solar farms increases LOTO coordination complexity
OSHA compliance requirements
Strict documentation and audit readiness are mandatory for utility scale LOTO programs
Key applications requiring lockout tagout
- Combiner boxes
- Photovoltaic systems
- Substations
- Battery energy storage systems
Intelligent Access Control for Solar Projects
Trusted by five of the top seven utility grade solar contractors, BoxLock pairs connected hardware with centralized control software for perimeter security, safety compliance, and contractor accountability.
Cost effective perimeter security
Challenge: Utility scale projects span large remote areas with many access points and high guard costs
BoxLock solution: Connected padlocks secure gates at a fraction of guard spend while maintaining strict access control
Controlled access to energized areas
Challenge: High voltage assets require controlled entry for authorized personnel only
BoxLock solution: Remote permissions and temporary digital keys control who enters energized zones and when
Streamlined lockout compliance
Challenge: Manual LOTO programs are time consuming and error prone in distributed environments
BoxLock solution: Digital workflows automate lockout steps and create exportable audit records
Real time safety alerts
Challenge: Unauthorized access and process deviations can go unseen on remote utility sites
BoxLock solution: Alarm mode and live notifications alert teams to gate tamper events and access exceptions
