Whether a solar fence is the right approach in a solar solution depends on the requirements of the project.

Can solar power be used as a permanent fence?

With solar panels becoming more and more affordable, an increasing number of individuals are considering utilizing them as a permanent fence. Combining solar power production with property fencing not only provides numerous aesthetic possibilities. It also also opens up a new perspective for the use of solar power.

Why should you choose a solar panel fence?

Like solar canopies or solar carport solutions, solar panel fences have the advantage that no additional space is needed. They only occupy the area that would have been needed for the fence in the first place. Thus, it is is a space-saving method to produce solar power.

Are solar panel fences bifacial?

However, solar panel fences are irradiated from both sides, which partly compensates for unfavorable incidence angles. Therefore, the use of bifacial modules is highly recommended. A solar panel fence is distinct from rooftop or normal ground-mounted solar power systems in several aspects.

Can agricultural PV fences be used with electric fences?

One way to make use of agricultural PV fencing is to combine it with electric fences. In this instance, the solar fence feeds a solar energiser for electric metal fence installations. For this purpose, solar powered energisers are required to allow electric fences to receive the solar power.

Can solar panels be put on a fence?

At first glace, putting solar cells on a fence would seem to be a bad idea, as the panels would be facing the wrong way at least half the day. To get around this issue, et-sun uses bifacial solar cells. This means that whether the sun strikes the front or the back of the panel, it generates electricity.
