    Stray voltage from electric fence

    How dry is it there? Very possible to have transient voltage travelling to the panels. You have the ground rods positioned under the panels? Water around those groundrods and see if it still happens. That is why the layer of gravel at electrical sub stations. 'Evens out spikes of stray...

    Random things I see haying
