Most off the shelf solar chargers are wimpy. Anyhow 1000 volts isn't much, and may make cows learn to crawl the fence.

If you are using much electric fence. You need to buy a fence analyzer.

Volt meter is useless for finding electric fence problems .

Yes, fence analyzers cost about $100 bucks, but well worth it.
They work as a amps meter, high amp flow, you have a short out further from the fencer than where you are standing. You can set on atv & test without getting off.

Otherwise you need to disconnect every section of fence, then if good, add one more section until you find the section that is shorted. Have it hooked up and listen as well as look.. Possibly walk it after dark, get some one else to walk it and take a hard look at every post.
