Never had anything to do with PV so here goes...
Got an electric fence at the stables powered by a 12V leisure battery, have to re-charge about every 12 weeks. Had a look at fitting a PV to charge it and there seems to be a couple of types, one connects straight to battery with a blocking diode, the other type uses a PWM charge controller. The fence draws about 50mA.
Any advice on which type to use, what to look for etc.?
Thanks.
