Hotline 30 Watt Solar Assist Panel with Charge Controller & Mounting Stake

Hotline 30 Watt Solar Assist Panel

The Hotline 30 Watt Solar Assist Panel provides solar charging support for an external 12V battery powering a compatible electric fence energiser. It helps replace energy used by the energiser during daylight hours, extending the time between manual battery charges.

For fencing away from a mains electricity supply, solar assistance can make routine battery management more convenient. The panel works alongside your battery and energiser, with a built-in charge controller and mounting stake supplied.

30W monocrystalline solar panel

This monocrystalline panel has a rated output of 30 watts. Within Hotline’s solar assist range, the higher output offers greater charging potential than the 10W and 20W versions under comparable sunlight conditions.

Hotline identifies the 30W model as an option for higher-powered 12V energisers. When choosing a panel, consider the energiser’s consumption, battery capacity and the amount of sunlight available at your installation.

Built-in charge controller

The integrated charge controller regulates charging and helps protect the connected battery against overcharging. Having the controller built into the system keeps the charging arrangement straightforward.

Check your battery type and equipment instructions before installation to confirm compatibility. The panel supplies charging power to the battery; a separate energiser generates the pulses for the electric fence.

Mounting stake included

The supplied mounting stake supports installation close to your fencing power supply. Choose an open position where the panel can receive sunlight without prolonged shading from trees, buildings or vegetation.

As part of your regular fence checks, inspect the panel surface and connecting leads. Remove accumulated dirt or debris and check whether growing vegetation has begun shading the panel.

What affects solar charging performance?

The Hotline 30 Watt Solar Assist Panel’s charging contribution depends on the strength and duration of sunlight. Your energiser’s power requirements also determine how quickly energy is drawn from the battery.

During favourable conditions, solar assistance may substantially reduce the need for external charging. During extended cloudy weather or shorter winter days, additional charging may still be necessary. Continue monitoring battery charge and fence performance throughout the year.
