Solar Power

Solar Power for driveway gate operators is an excellent option if you live in an area which receives adequate sunlight year-round. Solar Panels are available for both 12V & 24V gate operators and are available in various wattages. The wattage required depends upon how much sunlight the location receives and the duty cycle of the operator. A  larger wattage collects more sunlight vs a smaller wattage. A charging controller should be used on solar panels larger than 10 watts, some operators will have the controller built in, others will require a hardwired unit to be installed. This category contains complete solar packages, solar regulators, solar controllers, and solar panels.

The Solar System Federal Tax Credit for Installation of Solar Systems is equal to 30% off the total installed cost of the solar operator system. This only applies to the automation, not to the cost of physical gate itself or its installation. The property must be located in the United States and be used as a residence by the taxpayer.
