Next2Sun - Bifacial Solar Fence for Agriculture
Next2Sun offers an innovative bifacial solar fence designed to serve dual purposes in agricultural environments: as a means of boundary protection and a source of renewable energy. This solar fence, known as Fence2Sun, integrates vertically oriented photovoltaic modules that maximize space efficiency and generate electricity by capturing sunlight from both sides. It is specifically engineered to provide a sustainable alternative to conventional fencing. With an east-west alignment, the solar fence produces electricity during key times of day, particularly beneficial for farms like dairies where energy demand peaks for milking operations. Made from durable materials, the design includes galvanized steel posts that can be installed with either driven steel or concrete point foundations. Moreover, the bifacial technology allows for increased electricity yield even in winter, taking advantage of ground reflection. This ensures continuous performance, reducing reliance on traditional power sources, while also offering weather-resistant and low-maintenance fencing solutions. Fence2Sun reflects a commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity through sustainable practices, facilitating biodiversity, and reducing operational costs.
Many farmers have been setting a good example in renewable energy production for years. However, not all roofs are ideally suited for a PV system or are already occupied. An intelligent alternative and addition to this is the bifacial solar fence Fence2Sun – the fence that pays for itself.
The fence is a solar system and boundary in one and can also serve as a shade for animals as well as a protection screen against predators.
. It provides a low-maintenance, weather-resistant alternative to traditional fences and is ideal for all types of livestock, both large and small, as well as for arable land. Its needs-based production profile makes it perfect for meeting your own energy requirements. For example, on a dairy farm, the solar fence, oriented east and west, has generation peaks in the morning and early evening—precisely when electricity is needed to operate the milking machines.
Advantages of the Next2Sun solar fence for agriculture
- Fence2Sun offers more than just electricity.
- It protects your animals, provides shade and serves as a permanent privacy screen.
- Use sunlight from both sides of the fence to increase your electricity production.
- With Fence2Sun, grazing areas can be optimally used for fencing and power generation at the same time.
- Easy installation and maintenance due to ground level arrangement.
- Electricity production on demand: Fence2Sun solar fence produces electricity in the morning and evening and more in winter than in summer.It therefore exceeds the output of conventional roof systems.
- The Next2Sun module impresses with almost 100 % bifaciality.
- The ideal solution for snowy areas: Fence2Sun remains snow-free and generates up to 8 % more electricity in snowy conditions.
- The high quality and robust design make the Fence2Sun an optimal, space-saving solution with real added value.
- Large livestock can be prevented from touching Fence2Sun by using fence strands.
