Secure locking for solar panels

[MackM]

I have just put two solar panels on the van and was interested if anyone has put any additional security locks/bolts on their solar panel(s). My van is parked on the street it would be good to make my panels more secure from theft. Any thoughts would be welcome.

I would not worry. 1. it is not immediately visible (out of sight, out of mind) 2. There is also the awning which is more expensive which they can target if they really are planning to take something

As a bit of a hack I found an old spanner that matches the security key nut and glued them together.
Otherwise its a bit fiddly when on the roof and might help you to stop losing the key nut.
