Solar energy is the ideal power source for your electric fence energizer. It's environmentally friendly, as it doesn't produce harmful emissions and doesn't require fossil fuels. It's also low-maintenance and has a long lifespan. Therefore, if possible, use a solar-powered device for your pasture, or upgrade your battery-powered device with a solar panel.
There are several good reasons why a solar device is the ideal addition to your electric fence:
- If the area to be fenced is too far away from your yard
- If there is no power grid nearby
- If you have no way to replace the battery or are too far away to charge the battery at home.
Depending on the energizer, a 12 V battery-powered device combined with a solar panel can operate maintenance-free throughout the entire season, without you having to constantly worry about recharging. You'll need to recharge the 12 V battery when necessary; the device will indicate a low battery level and warn you well in advance. However, with certain energizers and consistently good weather, you may never need to recharge.
In principle, all battery-powered devices can be combined with a solar module. The only requirement is that the devices are equipped with a rechargeable 12 V battery, a solar module, and a connection cable.
