Solar IntelliShock® 100 Energizer
Updated for 2024! Solar powered 1.0 joule fence energizer. Portable all-in-one unit arrives ready to power electric fence or netting.
Key Changes (vs. Solar IntelliShock® 60)
- 66% more output—less hassle from weeds and ornery livestock
- 15 watt glass solar panel—monocrystalline cells convert more of the sun’s energy into electricity
- Insect-resistant—laminated PCB to “bug out” bugs
Contains sheep, goats, poultry, swine, cattle, horses and other livestock while keeping their predators out!
Note: Kit includes a Digital Tester (for testing fence voltage and 12V battery voltage.)

Common Uses
Use the Solar IntelliShock® 100 with all fence conductors and electric netting to contain sheep, goats, poultry, swine, cattle and horses. Effective against predators such as coyotes, stray dogs, bears and foxes.
Can also be used with garden and wildlife barriers to keep out deer, raccoons, woodchucks, rabbits, opossums and skunks.
Benefits
- Affordable, high-output solar energizer designed to overcome moderate grass/weed load. Farmstore solar chargers are often under-powered, and can’t cope with weed-laden fences.
- Tempered glass solar panel is more durable than plastic film panels.
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum frame protects the glass panel from accidental damage.
- Solar panel angle can be adjusted for seasonal light availability.
- External adapter port allows the energizer to be operated without a battery and plugged into a 110V power source. (Adapter is included with energizer.) AC adapter can also be used to recharge the 12V battery.
- Easily accessible fence and ground terminals. (Fence and ground wiring harness included.)
- Flashing on/off light with low battery indicator.

How to Use
Always check the voltage to ensure the fence is properly electrified before introducing animals.
Optimal Solar Orientation and Placement
Correct placement of the energizer and solar panel is critical to the best operation of the unit.1. 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.
2. Determine the correct tilt angle for the solar panel. The sun’s position above the horizon will change from season to season. As a general recommendation, an angle of 50° is optimal for the longest use in most areas of the continental USA. However, the ability of the solar panel to recharge the battery can be maximized by making angle adjustments each season as shown in the illustrations below.
In the far northern USA from November until February, there may not be enough hours of sunlight to fully recharge the battery. Charge the battery when the indicator light flashes green/red or red. Consider keeping a extra set of batteries on hand. Use one set for your energizer while charging the second set with the AC adapter. Swap out the batteries once per week.
3. Regularly remove all debris from the solar panel. This includes grass clippings, dust (especially on gravel roads), leaves and snow as this will reduce the solar panel’s ability to recharge the battery.
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
Start by measuring the voltage at the end of the fence line. If the voltage is below 3000V, follow these steps to determine if the problem is with the fence, or the energizer.
Test the energizer first!
- Turn off the energizer.
- Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground stake/rod.
- Turn the energizer back on.
- Measure the voltage on the energizer between the two terminals (positive and negative) with a digital voltmeter or other high-voltage tester. Touch one end to “-“ (earth terminal) and the other end to “+” (fence terminal). The reading tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables.
- If the tester reads below 5000V, then the energizer (or possibly the battery) is the problem. If the voltage is above 5000V, then the trouble lies with your fence.
If the energizer is at fault:
- Test the battery with a low-voltage tester; recharge if lower than 12.2 volts
- Check the grounding system
If the fence is at fault:
- Conductors touching another wire, steel post or the soil
- Broken or damaged insulators
Storage
Tips to preserve battery life:
- Turn off the unit. Disconnecting the unit from the fence is not sufficient, the unit will still pulse unless it is turned off.
- Clean off the solar panel. Dust and debris may have accumulated during use and as a result prevents the panel from maximum electrical production.
- When the energizer is not being used, store the unit indoors at room temperature and out of the sun.
- When not in use, ensure the battery stays above 40% charged—especially during the winter. Lead acid batteries don’t work well when they’re left discharged, or at a low charge, for long periods of time. Periodically recharge the battery in the sun or with the included 110V charging unit. Stop charging when the battery tests between 12.6V and 13.4V. Do NOT overcharge the battery.

It was a bit intimidating to be setting up the fencing alone. Although printed information was included with the items, I was unable to understand what the pictures and printed pamphlet meant. So, I went online and Premier's video for my system was available. It was what I used to set up the functioning electric fence with a solar battery. Thanks, Premier and your online video!

I got this electric fence energizer for my chicken coop. It came fast and was easy to set up. The plastic part on the solar panel was broken but customer service was fantastic and I received the part in two days. I’m very happy with Premier 1!

This fence energizer is working great.

This device is perfect, good quality. The new glass solar panel looks very good and also impresses with its stability and robustness. I recommend the electric fencer and would buy it again at any time. Keep up the good work!
