New Home Fence Concept Integrates Solar Panels

by Nino Marchetti, December 22nd, 2009

Renewable energy concept designer EarthSure, having designed a variety of interesting energy product concepts of late, recently unveiled its latest idea for harvesting solar power. It is a fencing system which is solar panel enabled to generate energy for one’s home and is called the Solar Alternative Functioning Energy (S.A.F.E.) Fencing System.

The Solar Alternative Functioning Energy (S.A.F.E.) Fencing System is described by EarthSure as combining “the functionality of a perimeter fencing system with a unique solar panel system built inside to conceal the inner walls of the fence.” A series of optical lenses built atop the fence shuttle the solar light to the panels. The energy generated by the panels is transferred to the home power grid and, if enough energy is generated, could probably be sold back to one’s local utility.

EarthSure added that the fencing system would be made out of recycled PVC to keep it more eco-friendly. The fencing as well would be designed to be attractive and add value to one’s property, thus combining good lucks and green tech creativity to make a truly useful fenced in yard.
