Discontinued — 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).
Instructions/Diagrams:
Installation & Warranty 
Common Uses
Specs
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 all of the above and a 5-Light Wireless Fence Tester.
Joules
- 1.3 stored joules
- 1.0 released joules
- 0.87 joules in moist soils
- 0.35 joules in dry soils
Miscellaneous
- Requires 3' of ground rod in the ground.
- Draw from a 12V battery is 87 milliampere (mA) per hour. With this energizer a 12v 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 28 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
- 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.
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
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.
Warranty
30-day warranty for all batteries.

This charger is so easy to carry and set up. It only takes a moment. I am using it to protect my poultry as I move them around my property to revitalize a neglected field.
Julia C from California
Works perfectly! Using in my backyard for a couple goats, and they only had to test it once. It keeps its charge super well, even when I've put it in sub-optimal places/positions.
Nikki C from Tennessee
Works as described. I couldn’t be happier with the product. Keeps my flock of sheep exactly where I put them!
Jordan B from Packs the power!
Works beautifully and took all of 35 minutes to read the instruction manual and set up. We are using the energizer in conjunction with the 164' poultry net and plan on adding more at a later date. It's currently running between 8,000 and 10,000 volts. We have a heavily wooded property and need to protect our birds from foxes, coyotes, possums and raccoons. Our 150 lb Cane Corsos attempted a sniff and let's just say they won't even look in the direction of the fence now. We can all rest easy at night knowing this energizer is protecting our birds, no question.

I purchased the PREMIER PRS 100 set (1) solar case includes 2 batteries and a charger, a small wireless hand held tester and 3' ground rod. It was delivered fast (2-3) days.
It looks great and comes fully assembled (just need to hook up the + wires to the batteries). I will write another comment once I hook it up to my fence. Thanks for reading and hope this was useful.
