I use temporary fence alot and I agree with Cowman, you need a real good ground and extra ground rods on a permanent location so the charger is always well grounded with changing moisture conditions, I have seen chargers where you needed to put 11 rods in to make it work right. I also would forget the ribbon fence and use poly wire instead. The ribbon fence has to be spliced together with a joiner to keep the ends from twisting together and burning up and shorting out the system, not very practical. The battery powered chargers and the solar chargers I have never seen hold up to the standards of the 110 and the 220's. Also, buy good polywire, don't go to the local co-op or Tractor Supply and buy that crap, it will end up tearing apart and breaking in several places after hanging for a month. The good stuff, I buy Ghallager brand fence out of New Zealand, and it last a good 6 years and is great stuff, I have a local dealer so that helps me out. I also use the push in steel rod post with a fiberglass pig tail, they last for years as oppossed to the plastic ones, and I use the 2 inch fiberglass post and strain insulators for corners.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
