Solar IntelliShock 30
Solar powered 0.30 joule energizer. Portable all-in-one unit arrives ready to power electric fence or netting.
Common Uses
A solar powered energizer often used electric fences to contain cattle, horses and deer. Effective against predators such as coyotes, stray dogs, skunks, bears and foxes.
Can also be used for protecting poultry, sheep and goats.
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
- 1-2 rolls of electric netting depending on soil conditions and vegetation.
- 1/2 mile of 3 strand cattle fence.
- 1/4 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence.
Solar Panel Angle
Correct 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
- Use included ground U-Spike or use at least a 1' galvanized ground rod.
- Draw from a 12V battery is 15-29 milliampere (mA) per hour, depending on weed load.
- 40 pulses per minute.
- When properly used or stored, the battery should last 3-4 years. (Assumes maximum 40% draw down on battery.)
Solar IntelliShock 30
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
- 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.
- Ensure the solar panel is facing due south and avoid placing the unit where it may be covered by shadows from trees, bushes or tall grass.
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
- 0.30 joule fence energizer
- 12V 15Ah sealed lead acid battery
- Wiring harness
- 5 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 yellow 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.

I honestly hate this thing. It's about 3x as expensive as it should be, and if you get the parts and put a similar thing together yourself it's 5x cheaper.The ON/OFF switch becomes useless as soon as it starts freezing.In Fall water gets in the gap around the switch and than it freezes, the only way to not get zapped is to disconnect the wire from the fence and at that point this $300 garbage is more of an obstacle than anything else.Can't even count how many times I had to bring this thing in the house and let it melt just this winter. And I live in southern Missouri where the winters are really not that cold.

I got this to use with my 3 goats. As long as you get enough sun to keep it fully charged, it works great.

I was on the fence (pardon the pun) about dropping the cash for this paired with the 82' net, but found out it is well worth it. The power pack has performed beyond my expectations in the shade and overcast spring we've had this year. I may have begun to take some pleasure in the unexpected yelps of chicken hungry beasts trying to take advantage of my girls.

Works as promised; I am surprised that the ground mount supplies the necessary voltage as it is so short. I saturate the ground beneath it weekly as we have no rain since installation.
