Abstract
A photovoltaic fence system including a plurality of removably connected photovoltaic fence panels, each panel having a first column and a second column. A panel frame extends from the first column to the second column with a plurality of photovoltaic blades positioned within the frame. An electrical conduit within the panel frame is structured to link electrical componentry from one removably connected photovoltaic fence panel to another. The first column and second column are structured to removably connect one photovoltaic fence panel to another. The photovoltaic fence system as a whole is structured to capture solar energy.
