Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel – 12V Electric Fence Battery Charging
The Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel 47SP20W-S provides a convenient way to use solar energy to help maintain the charge of a 12V battery powering an electric fence energiser.
Designed for electric fencing installations where mains electricity may not be readily available, the panel connects directly to an external 12V battery and replaces some or all of the energy being used by the energiser.
This can significantly extend the period between battery charges and, where sunlight and power requirements allow, may remove the need to manually recharge the battery altogether.
20 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel
The Hotline solar assist panel uses monocrystalline solar technology with a 20 watt output.
The higher output makes this panel particularly useful where more charging capacity is required. Hotline notes that a 20W panel can replace battery charge more quickly than its 10W alternative.
Built-In Charge Controller
A built-in charge controller helps protect the connected battery against overcharging and discharge.
Having the charge controller incorporated into the system makes the panel a convenient solution for maintaining an electric fence battery without requiring a separate solar charge regulator.
Extends the Time Between Battery Charges
Battery-powered electric fence energisers gradually draw power from their connected battery.
By using available sunlight to replace some of this energy, the Hotline 20W Solar Assist Panel can considerably increase the operating period between conventional battery charges.
The actual charging performance will depend on factors including available sunlight and the power consumption of the connected energiser. More powerful energisers draw energy from the battery more quickly and therefore require greater solar input to replace the charge used.
Supplied with a Sturdy Mounting Stand
The Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel is supplied with a sturdy mounting stand, allowing the panel to be positioned outdoors where it can receive suitable sunlight.
This makes it particularly useful for remote electric fencing installations around farms, paddocks, game-rearing areas and other locations where access to mains electricity is limited.

Reduce Electric Fence Battery Charging
For electric fences situated away from a mains electricity supply, regularly removing and recharging batteries can be inconvenient.
The Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel provides a practical way to utilise daylight to replenish energy used by your electric fence energiser, helping keep the battery charged for longer.
The amount of additional operating time will depend on the energiser’s power consumption and the duration and strength of available sunlight.
