Category: Solar Fences (Coming Soon)

A solar fence uses vertically installed bifacial glass-glass modules that convert light on both sides into electricity. With an east-west orientation, it produces particularly well in the morning and evening, when household demand is often higher. It also serves as a boundary and privacy screen.

Depending on location and orientation, yields of up to 1,200 kWh per kWp and year are possible. In bright surroundings, such as snow-covered ground, the albedo effect can increase this to as much as 1,300 kWh. Winter yield remains comparatively stable because snow does not settle on the vertical modules and the low sun reaches them favourably.

No. Because the modules are light-sensitive on both sides, a solar fence can work with different orientations. East-west is common and produces an output profile focused on mornings and evenings. Other orientations can also achieve good yields; the local conditions are decisive.

The premium version prioritises design, using square profiles that are galvanised or powder-coated in anthracite (RAL 7016), with heights up to 2.50 m. It is intended for homes and representative properties. The standard version is robust and material-efficient, supports heights up to 3 m, two module rows and terrain slopes up to 11°, making it suitable for commercial and agricultural use.

The premium solar fence can be installed on a wall, between wall elements or in grassland using concrete point foundations. The standard version normally uses driven steel profiles, although concrete foundations are also possible. The gap at ground level can optionally be closed with perforated sheet, aluminium panels or mesh fencing.

Costs depend on length, version and foundations. A rough guide is about €250 per metre plus installation and electrical materials. Depending on self-consumption, the generated electricity can allow the additional solar investment to pay back in around eight years.
