The Parmak Solar-Pak Electric Fencer pioneered the use of solar power in agricultural fencing. The system employs a solar panel to convert solar radiation into electrical energy, charging a sealed 6-volt GEL battery for continuous power supply. This design offers a sustainable alternative to battery-dependent systems, with the solar cells providing energy during daylight and the battery ensuring uninterrupted operation, capable of functioning for up to 21 days without sunlight.
The system utilized Solarex chevron solar cells.
