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).
