To secure plant yields from animal invasion, this study develops an IoT-integrated electric fence prototype powered by hybrid solar and wind energy. The methodology focuses on designing a dual-source power generation system and a scaled physical model, utilizing sensors and microcontrollers for input-output processing. A core feature of the system is its IoT-based monitoring capability, which provides real-time oversight of the fence status. Results demonstrate the successful mechanical installation of the prototype consisting of the input LDR and PIR sensor yields the output of alarm sound and light illuminating from buzzer and LED, respectively. Sensor detection shows result for not more than 5m distances and seamless integration with electronic components, including an automated alert system that notifies users of breaches via IoT within 10 seconds. This development provides a functional framework for future large-scale agricultural implementations to mitigate wildlife-driven crop loss. © 2026 IEEE
