Premier PRS 100 Solar Energizer & Kit
The PRS 100 solar powered electric fence energizer is for folks who need a 1-joule unit for summer through fall usage.
When compared to competing units with similar output, PRS units have a larger solar panel (in watts) and larger batteries (ampere hours).
If your fence needs power in the winter, the PRS 100X is the better choice for low-light conditions.
Includes:
- 1.0 joule energizer
- 2-12 amp hour 12v sealed lead acid batteries
- Wiring harness
- 10-watt solar panel
- Ground rod
- Metal carry case
Note: Kit includes a 5-Light Wireless Fence Tester.

- 40 pulses per minute. If properly used and or stored, battery should last 3-4 years.
Should Power...
- 2 miles of 3 strand cattle fence.
- 3/4 mile of 5-7 strand sheep fence.
- 10 164' Sheep/Goat nets or 4-5 164' Poultry Nets
Benefits
- Assembled in house at Premier. We build each unit and test it before it goes out our door. This allows us to know that we are sending you a unit that works.
- Lowest price for a powerful solar all-in-one 1.0 joule unit.
- Can be laid flat on the ground during summer months to make them less visible to the public.
- To catch the sun's power in winter, simply lean it against a post. If you live in low-sun areas, do this in the late fall and early winter also.
- All metal case; very strong and rugged.
- Won't rust. It's aluminum and stainless steel.
- Light brown exterior reduces its visibility to vandals and reduces heat buildup inside the case.
- All metal clamps for lid.
How to Use
Winter Use
If you're not using your PRS unit during the winter follow these tips to preserve battery life:
If you're planning on using your PRS unit during the winter months, follow these helpful hints:
To use light tester WITHOUT ground probe
For Fence:- Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
To use light tester WITH ground probe
For Fence:- Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.
- Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).
- To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)
- At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
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.
- 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.
To 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.
Troubleshooting
To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer…
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.
- Turn energizer back on.
- Using a fence tester, determine the output voltage of the energizer. If the voltage is below 4000V, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is above 4000V, then the trouble lies with your fence or ground system.
If the energizer is faulty…
- Test the battery with a Digital Battery Meter or other multi-meter.
- If the meter reading is greater than 12.5 volts, then check the terminal connections to ensure they are clean from corrosion and fastened tightly.
- If the meter reading is less than 12.5 volts, then use the included 110V power supply to recharge your battery. See instruction manual for details.
- Ensure the ground system (rods/stakes) is installed and connected correctly according to the instructions for this unit.
- If you continue to experience problems, please call us at 800-282-6631.
If the fence is at fault…
- Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post, a steel wire or anything conductive.
- Look for damaged insulators.
- With electric netting, the problem can often be traced to excessive weed load. Starting at the fence charger, measure the voltage as you walk along the fence. If you find a gradual decline in voltage, then you may need to clean away the grass or other debris from the lower strands. If the voltage drop is more rapid, then look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts.
- If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turning off or disconnecting sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) causing the problem.
- The alternative is to begin at the energizer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.
- If you continue to experience problems, please call us at 800-282-6631.

I wouldn't have chickens without it. We have two and absolutely love them.

Love it, love it, love it! Ordering three more!

Love this solar energizer. It is well made, easy to set up, and provides ample energy for our fence. After having some problems with a fox our ladies are now very well protected.

This is my first experience with a solar energizer and I absolutely love it. The case is very robust and the whole unit is well designed and laid out. Very easy to use and very effective so far. I am running 1 of the premier chicken nets and get 8000 volts most of the time. The dogs definitely respect it after one encounter.

I love my solar PRS 100 energizers, I have two and just ordered a third. I have them hooked to several 48", 100' PermaNet rolls and have kept my chickens, sheep, goats, horses and cattle in line as well as the predators (that can't fly) out of the chickens and sheep. I currently have to fight the highway department's condemnation and decision to put a 4 lane divided highway through my farm where there was no roadway previously... so I am buying a third PRS100 and a couple more 100' 48" PermaNet rolls to have as a back up when some vehicle goes through part of the 1.5 miles of fencing they are imposing upon me. The ease of 1 person being able to move the charger (though the ground rods are often easier to put in than to pull out) & the portability and reliable charge of the netting makes me feel like I can still protect my animals from farm-crashers. I did have an issue with one of my charger's case wanting to zap me even when the ground rod was deeply sunk in good old moist Ky soil, ugh, I tell you this: it packs a punch! I understand why all my dogs avoid the net, only the tiny 3 legged dog failed to yelp out when it got him, the big ones hollered, went and hid for a while and now give the fence wide berth!!
