At first, I was skeptical about the effectiveness of a solar charger. However, there was still good grass just waiting for our horses in a remote pasture that I could not easily get power for a conventional system. After some research, I reluctantly decided on this unit. I installed this to energize a 2.5 acre pasture with three hot poly ropes. I was pleasantly surprised to find the unit was at full charge and ready to go out of the box. It also puts out a very healthy charge, definetly more than I expected. Overall, this unit is compact, sealed well, made in the USA, and works great. No regrets here, great purchase.

I purchased the Parker McCrory 25 mile solar fence charger at Lemon's tractor supply in Parkersburg, WV about 6 years ago. I only use it to protect a small garden that is 40 ft x 80 ft in the growing season and then store it inside in the winter. Nevertheless, it has failed nearly every season. I have sent it into the factory service 4 times at significant expense in freight and repair charges. I have two 8 ft. grounding rods in wet soil. The power unit just fails entirely. When I send it in Parker McCrory claims it has been hit by lightening. However, I have a lightening arrestor to ground and a surge suppressor in the power line to the fence. Today it failed for the 5th and last time. I went out and purchased a solar-powered Zareba rated for 10 miles. It was far less money than the repair/freight I've spent on the Parker McCrory, and I'm tired of the service department at Parker McCrory as well. There was one season, when I sent it in to them and they lost it for 3-4 months. I placed a packing slip inside the box and also taped it inside the box. They claimed it was misplaced with no information. I had to call numerous times. Typically they tell me that they have replaced a fuse, but I don't see any fuses on the board. Not worth the money or the trouble. Read full review

Folks, this is the Ford F-150 of solar fence chargers. Constructed of a sealed electronics package housed in a heavy galvanized steel enclosure, this model is maintaining 7000 volts on my 1300ft of polywire fencing. I no longer struggle with 4 Great Pyreneese who would get bored and wiggle under my goat fencing. What a relief to no longer get calls from neighbors, “your dogs and goats are loose again...” I can’t adequately express how proud I am of this product. You won’t be disappointed!

This is my second purchase of this item. I've had at least one of this brand for ten plus years without any problems. The other brands do not compare with this one.

I went through 3 of the little harbor freight ones before I finally bought this one, take my advice and buy this one and save yourself the expense and headache of the smaller cheaper models.
