The solar farm security system uses a magnetic lock sensor mounted to the panels to sense a break-in. The sensors are connected to an Arduino Uno micro-controller. The Arduino uses the sensors output to determine if action is required. If the lock sensor are separated in any way, whether the sensor itself is removed/cut or the panel is removed, the Arduino then uses an attached GSM shield to send an SMS to alert that there has been a break in. The Ethernet shield is used to remotely turn the Arduino on or off. The farm is connected to the school's WIFI so with a WIFI enable device the Arduino can be turned off and the panels can be accessed for maintenance.
