A solar battery charger for the Automatic Gate Openers. The Solar Panel is
necessary for gate opener installations more than 1000 ft. from an AC power
source, or where solar power is preferred. The Five (5)
Watt Solar Panel (19 3/8" x 8 1/2") comes with
everything you need for installation including 8 ft. of low voltage wire.
There are a number of factors which determine the number of solar panels you will
need, such as: the weight of your gate(s); the amount of sunlight the solar panel
will receive; the number of operating cycles per day; and the number of gate
opener accessories.
The map and table illustrate the maximum number of
cycles per day to be expected in a particular area, using either one or two solar
panels. The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account
for any use of accessory items (accessories draw additional power from the
battery).
Solar Panel Application Chart
To get the maximum number of gate cycles first find your
proper zone on the map provided, then reference it with one of the charts listed
below.
Our solar panel kits contain all mounting hardware, including low-voltage
wire.
The charts below illustrate the maximum number of gate cycles to expect per day
in a particular zone and the amount of Watts required for use based on winter
sunlight (minimum).
