Has anyone used a solar panel for their electric fence?

We are just starting out increasing our hobby farm and bought a solar panel that is supposed to have enough juice to power our electric fence (we are getting 2 steers). Has anyone had good or bad results with one of these? We live in Wisconsin.

    Get a battery charged electric fence and a small solar panel will keep your battery charged and your fence hot.

    I have only had battery operated electric fences charged by solar panels. They work fine.

    I live in Wisconsin too. solar panel fencers do work. buy one big enough for your application as in length of fence. remember though you get what you pay for so don't go too cheep.

    They work fine. Make sure to install them properly so the wind doesn't get it. And people seem to like to shoot them, so if they are in an isolated area, you need to keep it out of sight.

    Other than that, they work very well.
