What is solar fencing? How does it work? What are all the advantages, and where can we use solar fencing?
Security has become a critical problem in today’s time, and securing the safety of one’s property, crops, colonies, companies or factories, etc. has become everyone’s first concern. Solar fencing is a modernized and different way that is one of the best choices for implementing security as it is both effective as well as practical. Not only does solar fencing ensure the safety of one’s property, but it also uses renewable solar energy for its functioning. When an animal touches the Solar fence, it closes an electric circuit by grounding. Then an impulse travels through the body of the animal cause sudden muscle spasms and lasts for 2-3 milliseconds. This vibration is painful but very safe. Having experienced the shock, the animal will never try to negotiate the solar fence again.
The working principle of solar fencing systemThe functioning of a solar fencing system starts when the solar module produces direct current (DC) from sunlight which is used to charge the system’s battery. Depends on sunlight hours and capacity, the system’s battery can generally last for as long as 24 hours a day. The output of the charged battery reaches the controller or charger or energizer. When powered, the energizer gives a brief yet sharp voltage.
Features of a solar fence· Low maintenance cost· Extremely safe as it works irrespective of grid breakdown· No environmental harm caused to human beings or creatures· Cost-effective· Makes use of renewable solar energy· Generally, comes with a centralized alarm system· Conformity with national and international safety standards areas of application solar fencing has a wide range of utilization and can be used at places like Domestic applications such as at residential homes Industrial applications such as at factories Agricultural applications such as in farms and forests Parks & Zoos Military stations & police stations Schools & hospitals
