DanTheChickenMan Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hello I want to put up an electric fence to keep Mr Fox away but I have no knowledge on what I need etc. I would want a solar system that charges the battery itself as quite far away from mains power. Is there a simple kit that would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I have no experience with such a system, but have had a look into a solar panel for on my moms caravan. But those are VERY expensive. To get a decent voltage and large enough battery needs a expensive kit I guess. But you get a battery powered kit. The ones used to fence sheep in for example.

Beantree Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 You need to explain what you want to protect Dan. Have you a chicken enclosure already and what is it made of? There is no simple system because solar charging doesn't work in Winter, unless you have a much bigger panel than is sold with a standard kit. Then the earth circuit is just as important as the live.

Scary Mary Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hi Dan, I always found the Flyte So Fancy website very informative, and helpful, not only do they sell the stuff, but they have good information sections too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
