Works to keep bears away from my bees
I bought this to protect my bee hives from bears. One of my apiaries has had a few bears hanging around and after adding more hives this year I wanted to protect them and my investment so I bought this after looking for a while. I wanted something that had enough jolt to keep the bears away.It is recommend to leave it out in the sun for a few days before turning it on so I did that and it ended up being over a week until I got time to run the fenceAfter getting everything run and set up I ran into an issue that the charger would keep jumping into the red for several cycles then to green and back to red. Red indicates there is a ground fault somewhere.I spent over a week doing along the fence and removing all growth and anything that could touch the fence. Trying different wire from the charger to the fence and to the ground rod.I was using 5ft galvanized ground rods that I already had. I eventually added two more ground rods giving me 3 8’ apart but still had the same issue and was at a loss.Out of frustration I gave up and then came back after several days and was surprised to see it was working perfectly.All I can think is that the ground was too dry which is why they recommend adding more ground rods. I’ll have to keep an eye on it to see if it happens again as the ground dries over winter.I went back a few days later to check the bees and found that the fence was twisted and one post was shattered. I used the poly line and poly posts. I could see where the bear crawled between the cables in the back and got zapped causing it to fly full force into the front fence getting tangled up and breaking the post. Must have got a good jolt as it ran right beside one of the hives and never even touched it 😁If only my camera didn’t have dead batteries. I bet that would have been a great video.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quality Control Issues
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
This is my 6th Parmak solar charger and I have to say I still believe this is the best solar unit on the market. American made and lasts for years in the harsh Texas sun.

That being said there were some serious quality control issues with my recent unit. The rivets that attach the solar panel to the unit were missing and unfortunately I didn't open the box until I was in the back of my property. The much older Parmak solar unit I was replacing was at the end of it's life, and I had no choice but to install the new unit with a bungee cord to hold it together. I would recommend carefully inspecting the unit before relying on it right out of the box.

Come on Parmak you can do better.
