You know the situation: a remote site — perhaps a mining area, an agricultural farm, or a temporary construction zone — and you need 24/7 security cameras installed. The challenge? No convenient power outlet. Long cable runs. Unstable electricity. High maintenance costs. Traditional wired solutions can become a headache fast.
At Bluechip IT, we understand that as a distributor working with vendor solutions like TP‑Link’s VIGI line, you need products that not only perform, but also make a clear value proposition to your reseller and partner network.
In this article, we explore why the VIGI SP6020 is arguably the go-to choice for powering cameras in isolated or hard-to-wire locations. We’ll cover its IP66-rated durability, remote monitoring capabilities, self-diagnostic controller and why you, as a reseller, can position it as a high-value, low-maintenance energy source for remote security sites. Continue reading to discover how this intelligent solar power supply transforms off-grid deployments.
Understanding the Challenge: Powering Remote Security Sites
Remote security sites often present multiple hurdles:
- No access to a reliable power grid: Many remote locations don’t have easy access to standard AC power, or the cost to extend power lines can be prohibitive.
- Expensive trenching or wiring: Running cables across difficult terrain adds logistic and installation costs.
- Unstable electricity: Even if on-grid power is available, remote areas may suffer from frequent outages or voltage fluctuations, compromising camera uptime.
- Need for continuous monitoring: Cameras, wireless bridges, and network devices must operate around the clock. A failure or downtime can undermine the entire security installation.
That is where solar solutions, especially intelligent solar power supplies and remote security solar power systems, come into play. A recent market report shows the global remote site solar-powered security market reached USD 1.38 billion in 2024, with a projected CAGR of ~12.7 % through 2033. Solar-powered surveillance is emerging as the gold standard for off-grid security deployments.
For you, as a reseller, highlighting the shift to power supply solar and solar power supplies in these contexts empowers you to show your customers you’re delivering a modern, reliable answer—not just a camera but a full energy-independent solution.
Meet the TP-Link VIGI SP6020: Intelligent Solar Power Designed for the Field
Here’s how the VIGI SP6020 stands out:
- It is an intelligent solar power supply system built by TP-Link VIGI for remote camera installations. Many partners refer to the wider ecosystem as TP-Link VIGI, especially when selling complete VIGI solar power supply bundles.
- Features include a 60 W solar panel and a 20.8 Ah / 10.8 V high-capacity battery, enabling continuous power delivery to outdoor equipment (cameras, network bridges, etc.).
- Designed for areas where network and power deployment are tough, it eradicates wiring hassles and cuts investment cost.
- This is not just a “solar panel plus battery” but a full system with remote-management features, self-diagnostic controller and rugged construction.
For resellers, that means you can position the VIGI SP6020 as more than a power box—it’s a value-added component that enables your customer’s security solution to function reliably in tough situations.
Key Feature 1: IP66 Weatherproof Durability for All Environments
Durability matters when you’re installing in remote regions:
- The VIGI SP6020 boasts an IP66 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets.
- Outdoor installations in mines, farms, construction sites, remote warehouses or border perimeters demand high-weather resistance, and the IP66 rating provides confidence in long-term reliability.
- For your customers, fewer site visits, reduced maintenance and fewer system failures mean lower OPEX—which is a strong selling point.
When you show how the system can withstand rain, dust, hail or harsh sunshine, you’re helping resellers differentiate the offering.
Key Feature 2: Intelligent Remote Management & Self-Diagnostic Capabilities
One of the biggest costs in remote installations is maintenance. The VIGI SP6020 helps reduce that:
- Via the mobile app, users can monitor power statistics, see battery level, load status and receive alerts (for intrusion or low battery).
- The built-in smart controller conducts self-diagnostics and will auto-restart if a fault is detected.
- Firmware can be updated remotely; the system supports remote reboot, remote reset, account management, and message push alerts.
- That means fewer visits, fewer surprises and more uptime.
By referencing the intelligent solar power supply capabilities, you show your partners that you are delivering a complete solution—not just equipment.

Key Feature 3: High-Efficiency 60W Solar Panel with Long Lifespan
The solar panel component is critical to performance:
- The VIGI SP6020 uses a Grade-A monocrystalline silicon solar panel for improved conversion efficiency and longevity (designed lifetime is at least 25 years).
- The frame uses high-quality aluminium, and the surface is covered by 3.2 mm tempered glass for impact resistance.
- Manual angle adjustment (from 5° through to 55°) lets installers optimise sunlight capture depending on location and season.
- For your resellers, the message is: an efficient panel means a smaller installation footprint and more reliable power—key for remote sites.
Key Feature 4: Smart Battery for All-Weather, 24/7 Operation
Solar alone isn’t enough—battery performance, especially in harsh environments, is vital:
- The system features a lithium battery rated at 20.8 Ah / 10.8 V, with a maximum output of 12.6 V.
- It supports intelligent auxiliary heating, which allows operation across a wide temperature range (-30 °C to 60 °C under certain conditions).
- It includes protections: high & low temperature protection, over-discharge protection, and smart charging control.
- For remote security solar power setups, that means the system keeps going night & day, in cold or hot climates.
Resellers can highlight this to customers who’ll deploy in regions where weather extremes are the norm.
Key Feature 5: Rugged Construction for Maximum System Stability
Reliability also comes from mechanical build:
- Mounting uses SGCC galvanised steel for increased strength, anti-corrosion and rust resistance.
- The solar panel is edged with high-quality aluminium; tempered glass adds impact resistance.
- Dust, wind, salt-spray or heavy rainfall become less of a risk.
- What this means for your customers is fewer structural failures, less maintenance and higher longevity—making your offering more compelling.
Proven Compatibility with TP-Link VIGI Ecosystem
As you supply a broader VIGI product line, this compatibility matters:
- The VIGI SP6020 is designed to power devices such as the VIGI C540-4G network camera and other VIGI network devices (bridges, access points).
- Offering a complete VIGI ecosystem—camera, power supply, monitoring app—makes roll-out easier for resellers and better for end-users.
- For your partners, this means simpler specs, consistent vendor support and better bundled value when you distribute via Bluechip IT.
Why Resellers Should Recommend the VIGI SP6020
From a reseller’s perspective, here are the strong benefits:
- It’s a high-value, low-maintenance solution that reduces labour, wiring and power infrastructure costs.
- Enables profitable remote security deployments without the complexity of traditional power installation.
- Ideal add-on when they’re already selling VIGI cameras and NVRs—so you’re increasing basket size and deepening customer engagement.
- Helps differentiate the reseller’s offering: instead of “just a camera”, they sell a complete, energy-independent security package.
- Supports faster deployment and less dependency on contractors/trenching/electrical work, which means quicker install and potentially faster revenue.
Ideal Use Cases for the VIGI SP6020
Here are some real-world scenarios where the product shines:
- Mining sites and exploration camps.
- Construction sites in isolated locations.
- Remote warehouses or logistics hubs.
- Large-scale agricultural farms and rural properties.
- Parking lots or solar farms where wiring is difficult.
- Border perimeter monitoring or government infrastructure.
- Temporary or mobile security setups (events, pop-up sites) where power infrastructure isn’t yet in place.
Use these as talking points when your resellers pitch the product to their customers.
