Efficiency and Safety: Efficiency and Reliability

Optimum Energy Efficiency

Are you wondering how energy efficient a solar fence can be? This is a natural question, especially when we compare them with traditional photovoltaic installations mounted on roofs. Let's take a closer look at what makes the eFence system such an efficient energy source.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the unique feature of the eFence system - its design has been optimized for vertical installation of panels. Unlike standard roof installations, where the panels are mounted at an angle of 30-40 degrees, our fence uses specially designed photovoltaic modules adapted to work in a vertical position.

Each eFence span can accommodate from one to four photovoltaic modules, each with a capacity of about 160Wp. This means that a standard 2.1 meter span can generate up to 640Wp of power. For example, a fence of a plot measuring 20x40 meters can produce about 5800 kWh of electricity per year - this is enough to cover a significant part of the demand of an average single-family house.

Interestingly, the vertical installation of modules has its advantages. Although in theory it may seem less efficient than a traditional angled mount, in practice it allows for more even energy production throughout the day. Vertical panels make better use of morning and afternoon light, as well as diffused light. This is especially important in our climate, where much of the year we have to deal with cloud cover.

It is also worth mentioning the power optimization system. Each module in the eFence system is equipped with an individual optimizer, which allows individual panels to work independently. That is, even if part of the fence is in the shade, the remaining modules continue to work at full capacity. This is a significant advantage over traditional systems, where shading a single panel can affect the performance of the entire chain.

The system is designed to make the most of the available space. Unlike traditional photovoltaic installations, which take up additional space on the roof or ground, eFence combines the function of fencing with energy production. This double use of space makes the total efficiency of the system, understood as the ratio of benefits to the occupied area, extremely high.

Importantly, all eFence performance parameters are regularly monitored and verified. Each installation is equipped with a monitoring system that allows for ongoing control of energy production and a quick response in the event of any deviations from the optimal operating parameters.

Safety Guarantee

The safety of the eFence system is much more than just a solid fence construction. It is a comprehensive approach that includes both physical and electrical aspects. Let's take a look at how the system protects your property and your household.

Let's start with certification - all components of the eFence system have passed rigorous testing in independent laboratories. Our fence is certified to comply with European safety standards, including the key IEC 61730 standard for the safety of photovoltaic modules. However, this is only the beginning.

The electrical safety system in eFence has been designed with maximum user safety in mind. Each PV module is equipped with an individual power optimizer with SafeDC™ function. If the power is disconnected or an abnormality is detected, the system automatically reduces the voltage to a safe level - below 30V DC. This is especially important during maintenance work or in emergency situations.

The entire electrical installation is carried out inside the aluminum profiles, which eliminates the risk of accidental contact with the wires. All connections are made using MC4 certified connectors that provide water resistance and weather resistance. The system is also equipped with surge protectors, protecting against the effects of lightning.

The current security of the installation is ensured by an advanced monitoring system that controls the operating parameters of each module 24/7. If any abnormalities are detected - be it a sudden drop in power or unusual voltage values - the system immediately sends a notification to the service center. Thanks to this, we can react before a small defect becomes a serious problem.

Importantly, all components of the eFence system are covered by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty. These are not empty promises - behind each warranty point there is a specific service procedure and technical support available throughout the life of the system. Our network of certified installers provides professional service and prompt response in case of any problems.

The eFence system has also been designed for the physical security of the property. Robust palisade construction effectively protects against burglary attempts, and integrated LED lighting further enhances security after dark. It is a combination of modern technology with the traditional protective function of the fence.

Durability and Reliability

The eFence system is designed for many years of trouble-free operation in variable weather conditions. The basis of this durability is the use of high-quality aluminum in the construction of the fence. Unlike steel, aluminum does not rust and retains its mechanical properties for decades.

All components of the system have undergone rigorous testing in a climate chamber, simulating accelerated aging under extreme conditions. Studies have confirmed that the structure retains full stability and tightness even after exposure equivalent to 25 years of normal use. This is no coincidence - each component has been carefully selected for long-term durability.

Photovoltaic modules are protected by special tempered glass with increased resistance to impact and hail. The surface of the glass has been additionally covered with a self-cleaning coating, which facilitates the drainage of water and debris. As a result, the system maintains high performance without the need for frequent cleaning.

The stability of energy production over the long term is another key aspect of the reliability of the eFence system. We guarantee that after 25 years of use, the modules will still generate at least 80% of the initial power. This is not just a declaration - each installation is subject to a detailed monitoring program that allows you to track operating parameters and respond to the slightest deviations from the norm.

System maintenance has been simplified as much as possible. A standard inspection carried out once a year includes inspection of electrical and mechanical connections and verification of operating parameters. All critical components are easily accessible, which significantly reduces the time needed for possible repairs or modifications.

It is worth emphasizing that the durability of the eFence system is not only a matter of the materials used, but also of a well-thought-out design. The modular design allows for the replacement of individual elements without the need to dismantle entire sections. This is especially important in case of mechanical damage or the need to modernize the system in the future.
