For a more environmental friendly source of power for your electric fence, try a solar electric fence charger. A solar electric fence charger works by transforming natural sunlight into electricity which can then be used to power your fence.

There are a number of advantages to choosing a solar electric fence charger:

• The sun is a free source of energy, harnessing its power makes running an electric fence much more economical,
• It offers greater ease and convenience as there is no need to recharge the battery every 3-4 weeks and so no need to trek long distances to recover and recharge empty batteries,
• Unlike mains powered chargers, a solar electric fence charger can be used anywhere as long as it faces due south and has a clear line of sight with the sky. This means you can place an electric fence where it may otherwise be too costly or remote,
• The panels are waterproof, so can be left out in the rain, but must not be submerged completely in water,

How effective is a solar electric fence charger?

Some people have concerns about purchasing a solar electric fence charger in the UK due to our tendency to experience less than perfect weather. It is true that placing your charger in the shade for most of the day can result in a poorly charged battery but even when the sun is tucked away your solar electric fence charger will be gathering power and over the course of a day should store enough to power your electric fence.

Generally, you shouldn't have a problem with your solar electric fence charger through spring, summer and autumn, but during winter you may wish to top the battery up, due to the short days and low position of the sun in the sky.
