Selecting the location for the solar powered shock system

Select a location that will allow the solar module to collect the maximum amount of sunlight that available on a clear day. An ideal location would allow the module to point directly at the sun at noontime each day of the year. As a general rule, modules used in the northern hemisphere should be faced due south (not magnetic south). Modules used in the southern hemisphere should be faced due north (not magnetic north). The location site should be free of any objects such as trees, which would block the sunlight from the solar module.

Electric Fence design:

1. The design is simple and usually consists of wood, steel or aluminum posts fitted with Fi – shock insulators and threaded with a single strand of wire. Spacing between posts may vary at your discretion, but be sure the wire is always taut and never allowed to sag excessively. Rule of thumb: space posts 3.7 – 7.6 metres apart.

2. The earth is half your fence – so if your grounding rod is not satisfactory, you will have a poor into the earth. This grounding rod doesn’t have to be next to the fencer, but can be located nearby, preferably in a low, wet spot. This assures better grounding.

3. In dry or sandy soil areas it may be necessary to run a ground wire just below the “hot” wire. This ensures proper “shock” if animal contacts both wires. In other words, some types of do not conduct electricity well and often single – line fences do not work because of poor grounding condition.
