Uprising Demand for Solar Panels to Boost Business Opportunity for Anti-theft Bolts

2014-02-24

As the solar panel market prospers, the number of stolen solar panels is increasing too. Even though the industry comes up with anti-measures like surveillance cameras or theft insurance, there doesn't seem to be a fundamental solution to this problem. Therefore, the Japanese industry is looking out for physical strategies like anti-theft bolts to prevent stolen panels. The Japanese housing solutions maker Lixil Corp. has been watching the development of anti-theft bolts. It specifies in setting up rooftop solar panels for households. As the panels installed on rooftops are more prone to be stolen, Lixil provides customers with anti-theft bolts. At the present stage the anti-theft bolts, structurally,  has a transverse hole on the tip part. Then, a cotter pin is inserted into the bolt, and then the pin is bent to complete the installation. However, such simple mechanism still cannot guarantee a total prevention from being dismantled, not to mention an 100% anti-theft performance. In light of this, it is obvious and clear that the R&D for high security anti-theft bolts will be a huge business opportunity in the Japanese fastener industry.
