<p>A theft-resistant, tamper-resistant photovoltaic solar system is. provided with at least one modem for receiving a code signal from a remote location, one solar panel having solar cells and at least one switch for turning the systems current on and off controlled using a coded signal unique to the switch or to the solar panel or system. It especially suited for providing electricity to customers who cannot afford the costs of conventional solar systems. A company rents the systems to customers with an affordable, refundable deposit and periodic rent. Components of the system prevent and/or disincentive theft and tampering by automatically deactivating the system after a selected time and/or by allowing remote deactivation of a system moved to an unauthorized location or tampered with, or at a predetermined time. The company can also activate the system remotely on a periodic basis so long as the periodic rent is being paid.</p> |
