With the American Farm Works 0.04-Joule 2-Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer, your fence line can have power from anywhere - even in remote locations with no access to electricity. This fence charger runs up to 2 weeks, day and night, without sunlight and is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. With 0.04 output joules, this fence energizer supports a variety of animals and livestock, such as cattle, horses, pigs and goats, and can be used with all types of electric fencing wire. It energizes up to 2 miles of fencing, and the season guide will help you choose the perfect angle to maximize sunlight. A durable case helps protect this reliable energizer against the elements. To prepare your new solar-powered electric fence charger for first use, place the unit in full sun for 3 days in the off position. After this charging period, the unit is ready to use and install. Built in the USA, our electric fence chargers are tested with a full load at our manufacturing facility and come with a 3-year limited warranty, including damage from lightning.

Q: is it waterproof
a month ago1 Answer
- A: This energizer isn't rated or marketed as waterproof — it doesn't carry an official IP (waterproof) rating. It does have a weather-resistant cabinet that protects the internal circuitry from the elements, so it's designed to handle normal outdoor conditions like rain. That said, avoid submerging it or spraying it directly with high-pressure water, since it's weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof.a month agoHelpful?
Q: What type of fencing can I use
2 months ago1 Answer
- A: Thank your for contacting us, Regarding your question, you can use steel/aluminum wire, polywire, polyrope, or polytape. For maximum performance, steel or aluminum wire is recommended, especially when the fence has longer runs or more vegetation.2 months agoHelpful?
Q: Re: solar system, I usually turn-off system each day. Of course this allows me access to work in the garden. Does turning off during the day also benefit the system - that is by fully recharging battery and extending serviceable life?
2 months ago1 Answer
- A: Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your question, there is no need to turn it off solely for battery maintenance if the fence is being used; the key is to keep the solar panel in full sunlight and allow the battery to maintain a good charge.2 months agoHelpful?
Q: Why isn’t it marked On AND Off? Such a simple thing to do. Why isn’t there a manual in the box or one specific to this unit?
2 months ago2 Answers
- A: Hi there! Thanks for reaching out, and we understand how frustrating it can be when the switch and instructions aren’t clearly marked. For this solar fence controller, the right side of the switch is the “ON” position. The solar fence controllers are designed to work the same way across the different models, which is why there isn’t a separate manual specifically for each individual unit. We hope this helps clarify how to operate your controller!2 months agoHelpful?
Q: Can this charger be mounted on a t post which would also be used for grounding?
3 months ago2 Answers
- A: No. While the American Farm Works 0.04 Joule 2 Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer can be mounted to a T-post using the appropriate mounting hardware, the T-post should not be used as the grounding system. For proper operation, the energizer should be connected to a dedicated galvanized ground rod installed according to the owner's manual. Using a T-post as the ground can result in poor fence performance and reduced shock output. For the best results, mount the energizer securely and connect the ground terminal to a properly installed galvanized ground rod.3 months agoHelpful?

Broken after 2 weeks.

Battery died after two weeks. Also, on/off switch not even labeled so its status leaves you guessing.

We’re sorry to hear about the battery life and switch confusion. On the switch, the positions are marked with symbols rather than words: “O” means OFF and “-” (a dash or line) means ON. You can confirm the status by listening for a rhythmic clicking sound when it’s on, or by using a fence tester on the fence line for a voltage reading.
For the battery, this model is designed to run up to two weeks on a full charge without sunlight, but if it died in that timeframe it’s worth checking a few things. Before first use, the battery needs a full three-day charge in direct sun with the unit switched off; skipping this step can shorten battery life significantly. Also check that the solar panel has clear, direct sun exposure with no shading or dirt buildup, and press the “Push to Test” battery health button on the unit’s face, where green indicates a full charge, yellow a partial charge, and red means the battery needs attention. If the battery still won’t hold a charge after confirming proper sun exposure and a full initial charge cycle, that points to a defective unit, and Customer Care can help from there.

Bought this ten years ago to protect my garden from wildlife, including groundhogs, raccoons and squirrels. I ran the wire one inch from the ground and wrapped it around the fence. Never had a problem. Highly recommend this product. After ten years, it finally needs replaced.
