Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel with Charge Controller & Stand

Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel

The Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel provides solar charging support for an external 12V battery powering a compatible electric fence energiser. It helps replenish the battery during daylight hours, reducing the need to disconnect it for manual charging.

Supplied with a built-in charge controller and mounting stand, this panel is a practical addition to fencing installations where mains electricity is unavailable. It supports the battery supplying your energiser, helping you manage power for paddocks, grazing areas and other suitable electric fencing applications.

Solar charging for your fencing battery

A battery-powered fence requires regular attention to its power supply. Adding solar assistance allows you to make use of available sunlight while the battery continues powering the energiser.

The 20W monocrystalline panel offers a useful charging option for compatible 12V systems. The amount of energy it supplies varies with the weather, time of year and panel position. Battery condition and the energiser’s power consumption also affect how often additional charging is needed.

Built-in charge controller

The integrated charge controller regulates charging and helps prevent battery overcharging. This makes the panel a convenient option for users looking for solar assistance with charging regulation already incorporated.

Before connecting the panel, check that your battery type and fencing equipment are compatible with the manufacturer’s instructions. Solar assistance supplements your existing battery arrangement; the panel itself does not generate the electric fence pulse.

Mounting stand included

The supplied mounting stand supports installation beside your fencing battery and energiser. Choose a position with good exposure to sunlight and avoid shade from trees, buildings or dense vegetation.

Keeping the panel surface clean and checking for seasonal shading will help it receive the available sunlight. Position connecting leads carefully so they are protected from livestock and routine work around the fence.

Choosing solar assistance for your setup

The Hotline 20 Watt Solar Assist Panel is worth considering when you want to reduce the time spent manually recharging a compatible fencing battery. Choose your setup according to the energiser’s power requirements, battery capacity and the sunlight available at the installation.

Continue checking battery charge and fence operation, particularly during extended dull weather or winter. Solar charging performance changes throughout the year, so occasional external charging may still be required.
