UPDATE

I have used electric fence chargers for over 50 years. I have 3 of these. I have 3 charging 3 difference 1/4 mile or less fences. 2 of these do not work, they charge but not hot enough to keep "Some" of the cows in. The one that "Works" is on the inside of a 5 bob wire fence?!!! I have about 5, "plug it in's" and anyone of them will work over a 4 mile area, very hotly!!!
Solar fencers are the way to go, I have leaned, even if you have electricity nearby. They are super-convenient to use and portable so you can take maximum advantage of rotational grazing.
To give you an example of how well these work, I had to move a fence line the other night when a wire came out of the clip on one step-in post. I was on dry ground wearing rubber soled shoes, gloves and using a pair of pliers with insulated handles, and I STILL got bit enough to feel it when I attempted to grab the wire with the pliers to clip it back on the post.
My advice is not to waste your time buying solar fencers from companies who developed them to hold in your dog or something. Buy from the company the large ranchers use - Parmak.
By the way, there are other posts on pricing here that are old now. I checked extensively online and at brick and mortar stores, and this is the best deal I could find on this unit including shipping costs at the time this review is being posted. It beat my local farm store by $48 - including the shipping!
The one problem I have is with the metal casing. Even with wires not touching it, it seems like the casing always carries a charge. So if you touch the metal at all, you'll get a decent shock. It also meant I couldn't just set this unit on the ground for ease of use during rotational grazing. Not sure if it's made like that or something inside is wired wrong, but other than that, works perfectly. Easy fix is to just not touch it while it's on.
We ran 3 strands of Electrobraid poly rope on capped t-posts and grounded the EB using the recommended 3 copper rods and I couldn't be happier. My horses won't even get close to the fence.
I did sit the charger outside for 3-4 days prior to using it - used my phone's compass to ensure it was pointing due south and I've not had an issue at all. It holds a charge VERY well, recharges well and does everything we need it to do! So glad I went ahead and "bit the bullet" and got a really nice solar charger!
I also recommend the
Parker Mccrory 00910 Anti-Theft Mounting Bracket if you are planning to mount on a t-post like we did.
Super happy with this purchase!!!
UPDATE: 12/5/2016 - This charger is just amazing! It is still registering strong and my horses have a great respect for the fence. About to put up another fence and will most likely use this same model again. Why pay for electricity when this will do the job? We are super pleased.
