Yes, if you have a double-wire mesh fence (twin-wire panels) with a panel width of 2.0 m or 2.5 m. The strips are threaded in like a privacy strip and fit wire gauges 6/5/6 and 8/6/8. For a pack of 6 strips the panel needs at least 6 rows, which is about 1.20 m in height.

Wooden, chain-link and round-bar fences are not suitable. Other panel widths are currently not available. Not sure? Book a free consultation and we'll look at your fence together.

A pack always contains 6 strips (A, 4× B, C) and is designed for a panel height of about 1.20 m. If your fence is lower, spread the 6 strips across several panels using extension cables, for example 3 + 3 on two panels.

We don't recommend simply leaving strips out, because the inverter may then not start. It's best to plan the layout together: book a free consultation and you'll get the right cables from us straight away.

Count your fence panels: 1 panel = single kit, 2 panels = double kit, 4 panels = 4-panel kit. For 2 panels take the double kit rather than two single kits, otherwise you have one inverter too many.

You can expand later with the extension (6 strips without inverter). For other numbers of panels, long fences or with storage, the configurator calculates all parts for you.

Yes, with the extension (6 strips without inverter). Sunbooster VERTICAL+ is a low-voltage system with max. 64 V; at most 2 panels may be connected in series. Your micro-inverter must work in this voltage range – check the MPPT range in its datasheet.

Classic string inverters for rooftop systems only work with power optimisers in between. If in doubt, send us the datasheet and we'll take a look.

Yes. The easiest way is our kits “+ Jackery Pro” or “+ Jackery Pro Max”: the strips connect directly to the Jackery SolarVault 3, so no separate inverter is needed. The battery has 2.52 kWh and can be expanded to up to 15.12 kWh. You can connect up to 4 panels of 2.5 m or up to 8 panels of 2.0 m (2 in series each).

Other batteries, e.g. from Anker or EcoFlow, work if their solar input matches the low voltage of the strips. Send us the datasheet and we'll tell you whether it works.

Plug-in systems in Germany and Austria may feed in up to 800 W via a socket; in other countries the national rules apply. With a battery you can connect more panels: what you don't need right away is stored instead of given away. For long fences there is a permanently connected PV system with Hoymiles inverters, installed by an electrician.

For fences over 10 m we're happy to make you an offer: vertical@sunbooster.com. Dealers and installers please write to b2b@sunbooster.com.

In Germany you only register your plug-in system in the Marktstammdatenregister (market master data register). It takes a few minutes online; registering with the grid operator has not been required since 2024. In Austria you register the system with your grid operator.

In other countries the national rules apply – ask your grid operator if in doubt.

As a guide we use 815 kWh per kWp per year, measured in Graz. A single kit with a 2.5 m panel (498 Wp) therefore produces around 410 kWh a year, a 4-panel kit with 2.5 m panels around 1,620 kWh. At 35 ct/kWh and 80 % self-consumption, a kit with inverter pays for itself in Germany after about 4–6 years and in Austria after about 5–7 years; elsewhere it depends on your electricity price.

Because the strips work on both sides, almost any orientation is fine. If the sides face east and west, you get power in the morning and evening; if they face south and north, mainly at midday. Shade from hedges or buildings costs yield, but the cells are wired so that partial shade matters less than with normal modules. The live data from our measuring installation further up shows what this looks like day to day.

You thread the 6 strips into the fence panel like a privacy strip, connect them and run the MC4 extension to the inverter. The inverter has a 10 m connection cable for the socket. Pay attention to plus and minus when connecting; the installation video shows every step.

If the inverter is further away, extend with additional MC4 cables, for example the 3 m double cable.

Yes. The technology is protected by the European unitary patent EP 4695901, registered on 10 September 2026. It applies in 18 EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden.

The patent holder is SUNBOOSTER GmbH from Graz. You can get the original from us and our authorised partners.
