The infrastructure opportunity

Perimeter assets are necessary. They can also become productive.

Railways, utilities, industrial facilities and landowners invest continuously in perimeter security, renewal and maintenance. Ella Solar evaluates whether that required infrastructure can support photovoltaic generation without compromising its primary operational role.

Each opportunity is subject to site conditions, asset owner requirements, permitting, grid connection and commercial feasibility.

Designed as infrastructure

Not panels attached to a fence.

A solar fence is a complete structural, electrical and operational system. It must perform as a perimeter asset throughout its design life.

01

Structural design

Foundations, wind loads, route geometry and interfaces are engineered for the site.

02

Electrical integration

Cable routing, protection, inverters, monitoring and grid connection are designed as one system.

03

Operational safety

Access, inspection, vegetation, security and maintenance requirements are incorporated early.

Railway proof of execution

A pioneering PV connection on an active solar fence.

Ella Solar delivered a solar fence pilot with Israel Railways, including engineering, approvals, permits and connection of a photovoltaic system to an active perimeter fence. The project provides practical experience in the technical and institutional requirements of railway infrastructure.

Demonstrated railway delivery

PV connected to an active solar fence in a railway environment.

Ella Solar delivered a pilot with Israel Railways covering structural design, approvals, permits, electrical integration and connection of a photovoltaic system to an active perimeter fence.

This experience provides a practical basis for discussing interfaces, safety, maintenance and delivery risk with railway infrastructure organisations.

Commercial pathways

Delivery structures matched to the asset and market.

01

Financed deployment

For suitable projects, Ella Solar may fund, deliver, operate and maintain the system under a long term agreement.

02

Partnership

Project value is shared between the infrastructure owner and Ella Solar under agreed commercial terms.

03

EPC

The client funds the project and Ella Solar provides engineering, procurement, construction and connection.

Applications

Built for long, operational perimeter routes.

01

Railway corridors

Perimeter and corridor assets requiring strict safety, access and operational coordination.

02

Utilities and infrastructure

Linear and secured assets with existing perimeter requirements.

03

Industrial and logistics sites

Large facilities where fence renewal and energy generation can be assessed together.

04

Agricultural and land assets

Long routes where land use, grid access and project economics support deployment.

05

Public sector estates

Sites requiring structured approvals, procurement and long term accountability.

06

Security sensitive facilities

Projects evaluated against specific security, segregation and maintenance requirements.
