AKO Solar Modules: Solar power for your energiser and battery
A solar panel keeps your energiser battery charged and saves you trips out to the pasture. Here are the AKO solar modules in several outputs.
During the day the panel captures sunlight and uses it to charge the battery or power the unit directly. Small 8 or 15 watt panels without a charge controller and a 9V solar module suit compact energisers. For 12V systems there are 55 and 100 watt panels complete with a charge controller that protects the battery from overcharging. The Solarstation Smart for electric fences rounds off the range.
Do I need a charge controller?
With larger panels on a 12V battery, yes, so the battery does not get overcharged. The 55 and 100 watt panels already come with one.
