My raccoons are on the hit list I really wouldn't care about them eating fish, but their damage to my feeders is paramount. A 6 V Moultrie solar panel is about 30-40 bucks... I got a good buy at $25 apiece and used the money I saved on push/pull raccoon traps. However, my trapping skills are suspect. I'm remote and only out for a day or two out at my recreational property, it makes trapping tough.
