General-purpose utility box for mounting a fence energizer, battery and solar panel. Consolidate electric fence components into a single housing for ease of movement.

Support box sits on the ground—less risk of damage from vandals, snow, rain and livestock. Galvanized (zinc plated) to prevent rust.

Not sure what you need? Premier’s Do-It-Yourself Solar Energizer Kits may be a good choice. Kits include a 4- or 8-joule electric fence charger, solar panel, 12V battery and all the components to energize livestock fences without access to 110V power.

Specs

  • 12.5"H x 11"W x 12"D
  • Battery compartment: 11-1/4"H x 9"W x 11-3/4"D
  • Galvanized steel construction
  • Plastic carrying handle


Installation

  1. Hang the battery energizer on the threaded bolt at the front of the support box. Ensure the bolt is tightened.
  2. The support box is pre-drilled for Premier’s solar panel brackets. Insert these into the top of the case and thread nuts onto bolts. Attach the solar panel to the brackets.
  3. The 12V battery sits in the center compartment. Attach the battery to the solar panel (for recharging). For maximum sunlight, orient the unit so the panel faces south.
  4. When the fence is ready to be energized: Connect the energizer to the fence, ground rod and finally the battery.


Precautions

If buying to use with another brand of energizer or solar brackets, extra holes may need to be drilled.

Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Energizer Support Box
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
August 1, 2023

Brian S from Missouri

I bought this, hoping to use a larger battery (100Ah) and a 100W panel. I would have settled on a 80W panel, but unfortunately Premier 1 was on back-order for many items.

The box is fairly small for a large panel. I feel like a gust of wind would have bad results. As well, as others have also mentioned, the battery compartment is fairly obstructed with rivets, as well as the gusset reinforcements. A larger battery simply cannot fit.

I would still recommend the product with a smaller battery and panel. However, I have no experience with that set up. I returned mine.

Really wish they sold this in a kit instead of individual parts. Make sure you get everything you need before ordering so you don’t have to make 4-5 separate orders. Also the price is high considering everything you need to make up what they show in the picture.

The battery doesn’t slide into the box properly because of the rivets and there’s nothing that holds the battery in properly. (My battery sits on top of the rivets.)

Good idea! DIY solar energizer kits now available. — Premier

I own 4 of these. Only complaint I have is that after 3 years they start to rust. It's the best and cheapest solution to solar that I've seen.

Chris B from Alabama

Very happy with this purchase. I bought the energizer, support box, solar panel and brackets. Premier put it all together before shipping! All I had to do was buy the battery and use the pre-wired clamps to attach it. I have the smaller panel (10 watts) and the Speedrite energizer, and I have no problem at all moving it around. And I bought the large marine battery. I can see where maybe a bigger solar panel might hinder carrying it, but mine is perfectly fine.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Tinned Copper Superconductor

Many of Premier’s electric net fences feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity.

These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than “basic” nets offered by our competitors. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen nets from China or their farmstore equivalents.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Line Posts Compared
  1. Single Spike (SS)
    The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.
  2. Double Spike (DS)
    Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.
  3. Drivable Posts (DP)
    Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

Dry soil increases resistance—a weaker, less effective pulse occurs that does not deter animals.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between built-in line posts*

Line Post Spacing

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between built-in line posts*

* Spacings are approximate.
Distance between built-in line posts may vary by product.

Essential Energizer Advice

  • Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
  • Use a low-impedance intermittent pulse energizer.
  • Use a fence tester to check the voltage often.
  • Use enough ground rod(s)—included with our energizer kits.
  • Don’t allow your lead acid battery to discharge below 40%.
  • Use insulated wire that is designed for electric fences.
  • Always connect the fence to an energizer, not an outlet.
  • Visit this link for answers to other common energizer questions.

Two Basic Types

  1. All-in-one Solar
    • Solar units are very portable.
    • Because they need a battery, these units are more costly to purchase and operate than plug-in units.
    • Batteries are less effective in cold temperatures (deplete faster).
    • Most farmstore solar units are too weak, in joules of output, to properly energize netting. That’s why we designed our own.
  2. Plug-in & Battery
    • Least cost to purchase and operate per joule of output.
    • Best for fences exposed to heavy vegetation.
    • Cold temperatures do not affect performance.
    • Recommended for whole-farm systems, but can be complex to install. Higher output requires more ground rods, underground cables, multiple output terminals, etc.

While at Iowa State University, Dr. Dan Morrical was responsible for educational programs in all areas of sheep production, ranging from nutrition, genetics, marketing and management. Research areas focused on applied projects in the areas of nutrition, forage utilization, genetics, out-of-season breeding and lamb survival.

Dr. Morrical has been heavily involved in providing educational resources to the sheep industry. He has authored over 30 extension fact sheets, ration balancing software programs, grazing videos and co-authored the nutrition chapter of the SID Handbook with Dr. Margaret Benson from Washington State University.

Dr. Morrical now serves as Premier’s on-staff small ruminant nutritionist and sheep production advisor. Most recently, he’s introduced a line of “GOLD FORMULA” mineral premixes under The Shepherd’s Choice® brand, aimed to maximize hoof health and immunity.

Braided vs. Twisted

Braiding instead of twisting the horizontals increases the frequency of metal filaments on the outside of the strand.

Braided vs. Twisted Electric Net Fences

What’s the benefit?

  1. More metal is exposed on the outside of the strand. This enables improved animal to conductor contact. The electric pulse is better able to travel from the fence and into the animal, resulting in a memorable shock.
  2. A tighter, braided weave results in fewer snags when carried or pulled through pastures, reducing frustration.
