Solar pasture fencer: How does it work?

Nowadays, more emphasis is placed on sustainability and environmental friendliness. Accordingly, electricity is increasingly generated by photovoltaics. Sunlight collects in the solar modules, which is then converted into electricity. The electrical impulse of the electric fence is conducted through the connection cable into the fence. Surplus energy is stored by the battery of the electric fence. An integrated charge controller in the electric fence protects it from overcharging.

Which solar modules do we offer?

You will find a wide selection of solar modules and solar panels with different power ratings. Our range includes modules of various power levels from 2 to 50 watts, so you are guaranteed to find your ideal product.

What are the advantages of a solar panel?

Lower electricity costs: Combine the solar panel with a 12V battery-powered electric fence. The solar module not only supplies your electric fence with electricity, but also charges the battery of the electric fence device.

Long battery life: You save on maintenance work and the life of your accumulator or battery is significantly extended.

Efficient power supply: During the day, the solar panel charges your electric fence device and at night it supplies the electric fence with electricity.

Generating electricity with solar panels saves fossil fuels, which has a positive effect on the environment. It is precisely this point of sustainability and environmental friendliness that you achieve by using the horizont solar panels in conjunction with pasture fencing equipment. In addition, the solar modules can be used for both stationary and mobile applications.

Which electric fencers can be combined with the solar modules?

Basically, the 12V battery and 9V battery-powered electric fences can be supplemented with a solar module without any problems. In general, the power of your electric fence unit determines which solar module you should choose. If you do not yet have an electric fence, you are also welcome to search for electric fencers with integrated solar module look.

What should be considered?

General use: When using a solar module, a buffer in the form of a 9V battery or 12V rechargeable battery-powered electric fence should be available.

Battery-powered electric fence: When using the battery-powered electric fence with a solar module supplement, make sure that the battery is charged for the first time with a conventional charger. When checking the battery of the electric fence unit, you must first disconnect the solar module and then wait 15 minutes.

Battery-powered electric fence: The battery-powered electric fence is not charged via the solar module. Only the electric fence is operated by it.
