AKO Sun Power S 3000 – powerful solar electric fence energiser for reliable herd protection

The AKO Sun Power S 3000 is an ultra-strong electric fence energiser powered by a 12 V, 30 W solar panel. As AKO's most powerful all-round compact solar unit, it's built for long fences with light to medium vegetation and works with all standard fence types. It performs especially well on horse and cattle pastures, and with goats, sheep and for repelling wolves.

Thanks to intelligent battery management with deep discharge protection and a power-saving circuit when battery voltage drops, the unit keeps running maintenance-free even through extended bad-weather spells. The excellent efficiency ensures a significantly longer battery life, while the multi-colour LED bargraph display keeps you informed of output voltage and battery status at all times. The robust, waterproof housing with carrying handle makes installation and transport between paddocks quick and easy.

It provides the foundation for reliable containment on horse, cattle, sheep and goat pastures. Overview: Reliable earthing for electric and paddock fences Hot-dip galvanised T-steel resists corrosion permanently M6 stainless steel screw for the earth connection cable Additional M8 and M12 drill holes for wire terminal clamp Suitable for horse, cattle, sheep and goat pastures Easy to drive into moist soil Technical Data: Length: 100 cm Width: 3 cm Height/profile: 2.5 cm Weight: approx. 1.4 kg Material: hot-dip galvanised T-steel Connection: M6 stainless steel screw, plus M8 and M12 drill hole Scope of Delivery: 1x galvanised ground rod, 1 m1x M6 stainless steel screw FAQ: How deep should I drive the ground rod?Drive it as deep as possible into moist soil, as this closes the electrical circuit most effectively. How many ground rods do I need?When using several rods, keep a distance of at least 3 metres between each one. Why should the ground rod be galvanised?Rust has an insulating effect and hinders the voltage return to the fence energiser – galvanised steel prevents this.

    AKO Lightning Choke for Electric Fence with Spark Gap
    AKO Lightning Choke for Electric Fence with Spark Gap

    Electric Fence Lightning Choke: Reliable Surge Protection A lightning strike on your fence line can destroy your electric fence unit within seconds. The AKO lightning choke safely discharges the resulting surge, protecting your fence energiser from costly damage. This is especially important where the fence cable is routed into a building. The unit consists of a lightning choke and spark gap and is fitted to non-flammable material on the outside wall of the building before the fence line is connected to the energiser. This keeps surges away from the unit and channels them safely to earth. The same applies to combi units once they're run from a mains adapter, where surge protection is a mandatory requirement under VDE regulations. Overview: Protects your fence energiser from lightning-induced surges Consists of a lightning choke and spark gap Screw-fit to non-flammable surfaces Galvanised metal housing for long-lasting corrosion resistance Mandatory when the energiser is installed inside a building (per VDE) Also suitable for combi units run via mains adapter Technical Data: Material: galvanised metal Dimensions: approx. 31.5 x 20 x 4.5 cm Weight: approx. 0.37 kg Mounting: screw-fixed to building wall Package Contents: 1x lightning choke for electric fence1x spark gap FAQ: Where should I mount the lightning choke?Fit it to the outside wall on non-flammable material, before the fence line connects to the energiser. Do I also need a fence switch?A fence switch is a useful addition, letting you isolate the fence from the unit before a storm arrives; the choke works independently of this. Is surge protection needed for solar or battery units too?It's mandatory under VDE mainly for mains-powered or combi units with a mains adapter installed inside buildings.
