Assembly and Instruction Manual
Full Details
- 12V Electric Fence Energiser Integrated with 10W Solar Panel
- Weatherproof Housing designed to be compact and easy to transport
- Lightweight unit at 6.3kg
- Energiser contains an Intelligent Eco Function that activates automatically when the battery capacity drops to extend the battery life and operating time. This means that a fully charged energiser can run for up to 12 days without sunlight.
- The LED Indicator makes it easy to read the battery status. The indicator is green when there is a good charge in the battery, and changes to red when the battery begins to run low.
- The power consumption of the energiser is automatically adjusted to the current state of the fence and the pulse rate of the indicator changes to reflect this (visibly and audibly), making it easy to understand clearly what the battery power level is at any time.
- The green light flashes every 1.5 seconds when the battery is at a healthy charge. If the battery drops below the healthy range the unit will lower the output and start to flash every 2 seconds to conserve battery power. When the battery drops to a low level, the red light will flash and the output will go a little lower. The red light will now flash every 2.5 seconds to indicate that the battery needs to be charged (This would only be expected to happen in the depths of winter for a well-situated solar electric fencer).
- The energiser will continues to run at low charge for as long as possible even when the slow-flashing red light is showing, and the unit needs to be charged.
- The ShockRite SRS05 has an output voltage of 4,300V at 500 ohm resistance giving an output power of 0.5J (the shock), making this suitable for electric fencing up to 2km in length.
- The solar energiser body is designed with a rear mounting-hole in the casing to place the earth stake/grounding rod (included). This allows a quick and easy installation and ensures the energiser is lifted up from the shade of the growing grass. It also keeps the unit off the ground in wet and muddy areas.

It’s working well and I’m very pleased with this. It’s the same price as the battery powered energizer that I usually use but that one needs batteries costing £40 each. The sun is cheaper!
My only slight gripe is the on /off switch is tucked around the back and close to the live wire connection, as I found to my cost when groping round trying to switch it off! Apart from that a great bit of kit and I’ll probably be getting another one.

Perfect for use in a conservation area, for our Shires who need their grass consumption rationed.
Alex (verified owner) –
This is our 2nd purchase and extremely happy with them. One for hen run and another for deer fencing. Only needed to charge up twice last year. Highly reccomend

I am really pleased with my decision to buy this energiser. So easy to set up and no hassle about charging up and carrying about old car batteries. Is covering both the horse fencing and the chicken netting.
Ralph Hampton. (verified owner) –
Easy, straightyforward and works well. Have purchased second battery in case needed for the winter so we can swap it out and take home to charge – we will see how it goes.
Vanessa Dodes (verified owner) –
Great energiser, easy to use and move around. Little disappointed I didn’t get a fence tester as others have stated they had otherwise it would have been 5*.
Sandra Gawthroup (verified owner) –
I was fed up with changing and lugging batteries around, this does the trick, and packs a punch (ask my husband)! Naughty ponies haven’t challenged it yet. Easy to use.
Karen (verified owner) –
So pleased with this product, seems to be well made and so easy to set up and use. I now have 2, I was so pleased with the first one. With both, ordered in the morning and they arrived the next day. Seem to pack enough of a punch to keep escape artist pony cob in the right place! Would certainly recommend.
Lauren (verified owner) –
Easy ordering and delivery! So easy to put together and working perfectly since I have had it up! No escaping Shetland ponies!!
JD – Hampshire (verified owner) –
Having struggled with a number of Energisers over the years, I am delighted to have found the ShockRite SRS05 0.5J. Instructions are clear and it is easy to set up and simple to disconnect the unit to recharge as needed. Thank you so much for producing this clever Solar Energiser box!
Nikki Armitage –
Consistently provides energy to the electric fencing, even in poor weather. Takes the worry out of having to charge batteries.
Phil (verified owner) –
Very well put together and easy to use, ideal for those of us with no mains power or to save hauling leisure battery’s around.
L Mac (verified owner) –
I have purchased two of these now to fence in horses. They are powerful and very effective and the best priced unit that I could find on the market. Communication and delivery was very prompt. Thank you
Joanne Williams (verified owner) –
Bought this model as it was recommended to me and I’ve also had a Shockrite standard energiser for years which has been really reliable. Couldn’t be happier with my new solar energiser! So easy to set up, works brilliantly & the on off switch is easy to see & get at. Only had it a couple of months so haven’t tested it through the worst winter weather yet but even if I need to do the odd battery top-up it’ll be way easier than the previous weekly ones. So far my Houdini pony hasn’t got through the fence either!
Mark Exelby (verified owner) –
Good product. Works well can highly recommend. Added extras include charger and earth rod.
Colette Butler (verified owner) –
Absolutely Fantastic piece of kit.
Wish I’d bought one years ago!!
Really Simple to set up & no more lugging batteries home to charge. Packs a punch, my fence trasher hasn’t been anywhere near since installing the Shockrite
Jane sumner Sumner (verified owner) –
I was worried about buying this but … shockrite are more than helpful and get back to you quickly. The energiser is so easy to set up .
Julie Billingsley (verified owner) –
I have 3 shockrite solar energisers. They are fantastic, so easy to use and great when strip grazing as you only have to move 1 unit. The unit slots onto the earthing rod which is sturdy and is designed so that you can step on it to help push it into the ground. They work perfectly all summer and hold a charge really well on winter.
The indicator light lets you know if the charge needs topping up. The units come with a plug in charger that is used to top up the battery when (or if) needed in winter.
The units come with a warranty.
Shockrite is a great company with a great customer service.
Joanna (verified owner) –
Fantastic company to deal with. Very fast. Would highly recommend.
nigel webber (verified owner) –
SRS05 Very Good fencer that the stock respect, me to.
Good delivery, hoping it’s ok for the winter.
Buy British.
Mark Pickles (verified owner) –
I really like this product. Ideal to have the integral battery and the connected solar panel. I have had it for 5 weeks and have not had to recharge it with mains yet. Was ideal when we were weaning our lambs at a location away from the small holding. I certainly recommend it.
D Marshall (verified owner) –
Prompt delivery, great value and excellent product. Bonus was the fence tester. Much easier than moving and re-charging battery energisers. Highly recommend.
Fiona Hammond (verified owner) –
Dispatched quickly. Arrived in very secure packaging. Great solar fencer. Very easy to move and operate. Came with unexpected current tester that works well. Ground stake for fencer is extremely robust with strong foot rest to push it into ground. All clips and leads look well-made. Haven’t used it through winter yet, so don’t know how well it will cope with poorer light conditions, but so far it has given me great peace of mind.
Di Pigott (verified owner) –
Really great energiser. Keeps my ‘escape artist’ Shetland in at last. Simple to set up and and move as required.
