The Hotline 20W Solar Assist Panel is a monocrystalline solar panel with a built-in charge regulator and robust ground-mounting stake, designed to keep your 12V battery charged and your electric fence energiser running efficiently. Designed for use with Hotline Merlin, Hobby, Gemini 40, and Gemini 80, Gemini 120 and Falcon energisers, this panel significantly extends the period between battery charges, reducing the need for manual top-ups. Featuring premium crystalline cells, a durable aluminium frame, and tempered glass, this solar panel is built to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining efficiency.
The built-in charge controller protects your battery from overcharging or discharging, ensuring safe and reliable operation. Weather permitting, the 20W panel can maintain the power requirements of most typical fence energisers throughout the year, while stronger energisers may require occasional winter topping up.
Supplied with a sturdy ground-mount stand, the panel can be positioned at an optimal 30° tilt facing south, ensuring maximum sun exposure and energy efficiency. Lightweight yet durable, it is also suitable for other outdoor 12V battery applications.
