Solar fence for companies and municipalities

Become energy self-sufficient

Fence with dual applications

Fences are often vital on commercial and industrial property – with the bifacial solar fence from Next2Sun, they can become a source of power or cover your own power requirements. A solar fence can play a key role in generating the energy you need and can increase self-sufficiency from external suppliers. There are various design options for solar fences: as well as being an enclosure and offering protection against intruders, a fence can also provide privacy or serve as a high-end decorative element. It can also further enhance an attractive property and add innovation and sustainability.

Benefits

Benefits of the Next2Sun solar fence

  • The solar fence can be used to enclose plots of land, but are also ideal for private power generation or grid feed-in. It is also suitable for parking lots in shopping centres, between the rows of cars.
  • Easy mounting and maintenance thanks to arrangement close to the ground.
  • East-west oriented fence runs offer significantly better results than conventional roof-mounted systems in the morning and evening. A north-south orientation can also capture low sun particularly well. Combined with the bifacial module’s high level of efficiency on the rear side, this means that electricity continues to be generated even on the side not directly in sunlight and further boosts efficiency.
  • Good yields even in the winter: whilst a rooftop system does not produce any electricity or requires time-consuming clearing when it is snowing, the activity of the solar fence will even be improved by increased reflection off the ground.
  • The slim construction, modern design and long life of the solar fence make it an ideal space-saving, visually appealing fence replacement offering genuine added value!

6 Comparable product: double bar fence of comparable height, net price including installation (€120 per metre of length)

Calculator

What does the solar fence cost?

Enter the characteristics of your plot to calculate the potential power, possible annual electricity yield, and rough budget for your solar fence!

For the yield and cost estimate, we need to know the total length of the planned fence/enclosure using the solar fence, as well as the number of corners or corner elements, if any.

Construction and installation

Robust construction,
easy to install

  • Solid steel construction, consisting of two posts and two bars.
  • Simple, highly efficient bifacial glass-glass solar module that can be installed virtually shade-free.
  • The foundations can be built on piled steel profiles, involve installation via individual concrete footings or be wall-mounted.
  • 1.1 metres or 1.5 metres high and 2.11 long (post centre to centre). The dimensions of the PV module are 1 x 2 metres.
  • Double yields available: two modules can be stacked on top of each other (height 2.3 m to approx. 3 m).
  • Installed on or in concrete walls (including between concrete posts) or using individual concrete footings. In open grassland areas, can also be installed by piling foundation posts.
  • If desired, the distance between the solar fence and the Solar fence can be filled with a perforated plate, wire mesh, a stanchion plate or an aluminium plate.
  • A gap of 10, 15 or 20 centimetres can be used to compensate for the incline when installing on concrete walls.
  • The premium solar fence is available in various RAL colours.

Solar fence FAQ

Thoughts on solar fences

As it currently stands, just 13.2 percent of the currently installed system output from renewable energies is owned by business operators. Germany and Austria have around 3.5 million companies, whose energy requirements represent huge potential for expanding decentralised power generation via photovoltaics.

Renewable Energies Agency

Are you perhaps thinking about building a new fence and researching the right approach? Consider going for a solar fence: in fact, this is just a photovoltaic system with solar modules that is simply installed on a fence rather than on a rooftop.
