Solar installations are now a practical and cost effective method of securing areas where 110 volt power is either unavailable or impractical. Although solar systems are not a new innovation, the technology used to transfer this resource to an efficient, low maintenance electric fence is.

Keep in Mind:
• In order to be effective, solar panels must have an unobstructed view facing due South. Trees, barns, power poles, etc will have a detrimental effect on your ability to collect and convert the sunlight if they cast a shadow over the panels at any time during your peak sun hours.
• Solar panels are very susceptible to theft and/or vandalism. Many solar panels have been ruined if used as target practice. If the system is to be installed in an area away where vandalism is a concern, extra precautions should be taken.
• It is important to remember that during extended periods of overcast weather, your batteries may need to be recharged by methods other than the solar panels. Be prepared and diligent so that your fence stays hot!
