Works great. Used this unit with chickens and chicken-netting, with hogs and chicken-netting, and with bare wire on patio railing to keep dogs from jumping over.
But.... looking on Premier 1's website, this same unit is about $50 cheaper than Amazon (as of 02/02/2023). The current Amazon price is $40 higher than what I paid on Amazon three-years ago.
I am planning on buying more units, but will probably buy directly from Premier 1 and use the savings on more electrified poultry netting.
OVERALL: Great unit!! I will buy again!!

|---|---|---|---|
Common UsesA solar powered energizer often used with electric fences to contain sheep, goats, poultry, swine, cattle and horses. Effective against predators such as coyotes, stray dogs, bears and foxes. Can also be used with garden and wildlife fences to keep out deer, raccoons, woodchucks, rabbits, opossums and skunks. Solar powered energizers are a popular choice when 110V power is not easily accessible. Attached solar panel will recharge the battery on sunny days. |
Should Power
|
Solar Panel AngleCorrect placement of the energizer and solar panel is critical to the best operation of the unit. Position the energizer so that the solar panel faces due south. This will allow the panel to receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible even during the low-light days of winter. Consider the sun’s movement throughout the day and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass. |
Miscellaneous

Solar IntelliShock 60
IntelliShock electric fence chargers are able to reduce energy demand when the fence’s voltage is high–due to fewer weeds touching the fence. This occurs in fall and winter for most fences and occurs all year for some horse, cattle and deer fences. As a result, an IntelliShock unit’s battery is more likely to remain charged through the low sunlight days of autumn and winter.
Precautions
For livestock use only.
- Make sure the power is turned off before working on the fence or the energizer.
- Make sure the fence line is clear of grass and debris that may lower the fence’s voltage.
- Regularly remove all debris from the solar panel.
- Batteries that are less than 40% charged may become damaged. Batteries MUST remain fully charged in freezing conditions.
Reduce Risk & Liability
- Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
- Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
- Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.
Includes
- 0.60 joule fence energizer
- 12V 12Ah sealed lead acid battery
- Wiring harness
- 10 watt solar panel with preset tilt angles
- Overcharge regulator
- 110V battery recharger
- U-Spike ground stake (combination ground rod and support stand)
- UV-treated, polycarbonate case with orange handle
How to Use
Open the energizer lid and connect the wires to the battery as indicated on the enclosed sticker. Remove the U-Spike and wiring harness from inside the battery compartment. Using 10mm wrench, remove the bolts holding the solar panel in place and replace with the supplied knobs (shipped inside the unit). Step in the ground U-Spike. For added support, you can slide the energizer onto top of U-Spike.
Use the wiring harness to connect the energizer to the ground stake and fence.
- Unscrew the red terminal knob.
- Secure the bare end of the wire with the orange clip into the hole behind the red terminal knob.
- Replace the red terminal knob and tighten.
- Repeat steps #1-3 for the black ground terminal.
- Connect the black clip to the ground stake.
- Connect the orange clip to the fence.
- Turn energizer on. (When switching on, make sure the power button is pressed all the way in.)
- Check the voltage to ensure the fence is properly electrified to at least 3000v before introducing animals.

Easy to install and reliable
My wife and I were a little intimidated by the idea of installing our own solar powered electric fence for our goats. But this was honestly so easy. We've had it installed and running for three weeks now with NO ISSUES at all. We live in Washington state, so our yard is very wet and muddy. We've had no discharging issues due to weather. Great unit and we couldn't be happier with it.
