The Hotline 10W Solar Panel with Built-in Charge Controller is the perfect solution to keep your electric fence energiser running efficiently while protecting your 12V battery from overcharging. Designed for use with Hotline Merlin, Hobby, Gemini 40, and Gemini 80 energisers, this compact solar panel ensures your fencing system remains powered even during extended periods without mains electricity. Featuring premium crystalline cells, a durable aluminium frame, and tempered glass, this solar panel is built to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining efficiency.
Weather permitting, the 10W panel can meet the power requirements of most fencing systems using less than 2 stored joules continuously throughout the year. For more powerful energisers, the panel significantly reduces the frequency of manual battery top-ups. Its built-in charge controller makes it safe to connect directly to any 12V battery without the need for additional protective devices.
The panel comes with a robust ground-mount stand that can be hammered firmly into the earth, allowing for an optimal 30° tilt facing south to capture maximum sunlight. Lightweight and durable, it is also suitable for other outdoor applications, such as maintaining vehicle batteries.
