Security has become a crucial subject in today’s time and ensuring the safety of one’s property, crops, colonies, factories, etc. has become everyone’s primary concern. Solar fencing is a modernized and unconventional method which is one of the best options of providing security as it is both effective as well as efficient. Not only does solar fencing guarantee the safety of one’s property, but it also uses renewable solar energy for its functioning. A solar fence works like an electric fence which delivers a brief yet fierce shock when human beings or animals come in contact with the fence. The shock enables a deterrent effect while ensuring that no loss of life is caused.
The working of a solar fencing system starts when the solar module generates direct current (DC) from sunlight which is used to charge the system’s battery. Depending on sunlight hours and capacity, the system’s battery can generally last for as long as 24 hours in a day.
The output of the charged battery reaches the controller or fencer or charger or energizer. When powered, the energizer produces a brief yet sharp voltage. The primary function of the energizer is to produce pulses of nearly 8000 volts that are sharp and short-lived. These pulses are passed through the wires of the fencing system at a rate of around 1 pulse every 1-1.5 second with every pulse lasting for nearly 3 ms, thus ensuring that no physical harm is caused to the intruder who attempts to come in contact with the solar fence
When an object or animal touches the fence, the electric circuit is completed by connecting to ground, resulting in a short electric shock, which passes through the object or animal.
Solar fencing system is a popular and sought system for protecting premises for Agriculture, Security or High security applications.
Requirement of Solar fencing, (which is also called as Power fencing) with Solar backup, has increased its appeal now, mainly because of awareness and availability of affordable brands.
There is a great focus on ensuring that the specifications and demands are met. Power fencing systems work on Energy with backup facility to run in an uninterrupted manner during the nights and in cloudy days.
They are designed to keep out predators, thieves, trespassers, and protect from unwanted and undesirable elements.
The design has a well-defined high voltage electric fencing which can withstand all the tests and still function well. It produces a high voltage at an energy output of 2.5 Joules, which acts as a deterrent, and a physical barrier is created making it a reliable detection system.
