The remote location of many electric fences causes regular inconvenience to farmers & animal
owners, who repeatedly have to go and collect, charge and return the battery.
However, most electric fences often use only a little power, which makes powering them from a solar
pv panel or small wind generator, normally very viable.
In order to establish the correct size of solar panel or wind generator required, it is necessary to
establish the power consumption of the fence unit.
Electric fence units are called "energisers" and output power is rated in Joules. If you have
not
already got the energiser unit – we can recommend the Gallagher Powerbox Range as they are
designed to be powered from solar pv.
