I've used a 25 mile rated solar powered unit attempting to control 
cattle which was not useful in areas where tall weeds and grass 
grew.  To burn weeds and grass (kill the growing tips), I use a 50 
mile weed burning unit operated by 110 AC  to separate bulls from 
cows.  When the electric wire is touched, a blue popping spark is 
visible.  I've accidentally touched the wire and received a painful 
shock.  If an electric fence is installed, consider using two 8-feet 
long grounding rods driven into the ground about 6 to 8 feet apart 
connected in series to the ground pole on the unit.   If a 110 AC 
electrical source is available, consider using it.  The 25 mile rated 
solar powered unit is suitable to place knee-high around a strawberry 
bed or a garden to prevent deer from eating the plants.
