Yes, I can see if they are solar powered that could be a very great problem under trees. Cattle move through trees and browse them so of course wouldn't get enough sun to keep them charged. The answer seems to be ones with a battery that can be easily changed, although not so convenient.

The batteries are supposed to clip in and out, but nobody with me was able to do it. Took a sort of clamp-between-knees-and-curse approach

Changing the batteries is one thing; controlling the sheep is another. Not the easiest of operations. I know what you mean about solar power in woodland as we have the same trouble trying to top up the batteries to run the lights in the hut in the wood.
