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. Get yours today to maintain a safe, controlled perimeter.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q&As

Q: is it waterproof

5 days ago
1 Answer
  • Woodstream Team
    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.

20 days ago
1 Answer

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?

a month ago
1 Answer
  • Woodstream Team
    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.

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?

a month ago
2 Answers
  • Woodstream Team
    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!

Q: Can this charger be mounted on a t post which would also be used for grounding?

a month ago
2 Answers
  • Woodstream Team
    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.

Q: Will the battery charge if the switch is on the off position?

a month ago
2 Answers
  • AI-generated, Human-approved
    A: Yes, the energizer charges while in the off position. To prepare the unit for its first use, you should place it in full sun for three days while it is switched off to ensure the internal battery is fully charged.

Works Great for Keeping Deer Out

5 months ago
This solar fence energizer has been doing exactly what I needed. It’s been very effective at keeping deer out of my flower garden. Setup was simple, and it’s been running reliably without issues. My only minor complaint is that the indicator light could be a bit brighter to make it easier to confirm it’s on during the day. Overall, very happy with it and would definitely recommend.

Keep your money

5 months ago
I give it one star because I can't give it less. Don't waste your money. Tried for five days to charge it - supposedly only takes three. We could never get the indicator light to come on showing the charger was working, so of course we did the grab test. Not so much as a tingle. Can't keep the critters out of the orchard if it won't charge the wire. The instructions are not actually included. You have to scan a QR code to download them. I want a printed book. People who need this product usually won't have reception when they are trying to install it. I can't take it back because someone threw the box out- that part is our fault. The instructions said not to take it back anyway. Send it to the manufacturer.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Woodstream Team
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. The energizer should begin charging when placed in direct sunlight, and the indicator light should pulse to show it is operating. Placement, grounding, and ensuring the unit receives full sun throughout the day can all impact performance.

We understand how frustrating it can be to not have printed instructions readily available, especially during installation. Your feedback regarding this has been shared with our team.

Please contact us directly so we can assist further and help get your energizer working as expected.

Keeping a group of dogs at home.

After rescuing 10 little balls of fur from a swamp in TX, they got larger so we fenced in a section of the yard. They decided that going under, over or thru the fence was great fun. This little box has quelled their adventuous spirit. I works great. By the way we need to get these critters homes, so let us know.

No bang for your buck

2 years ago
For the price, I feel like this should be a way better product. Was easy to setup, but had to wait 4 days for it to charge and even when charged, the voltage was weak until about a week of sitting in direct sunlight. Seemed to not last with cloudy weather as my animals were able to touch the electric fence after 3 days of clouds/storms. Product seems well built, just disappointed with performance.
