Step 8 Solar Panel(s)
SOLAR PANELS ARE NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES
Solar Application requirements:
•
A minimum of one 10W solar panel (Model SP10W12V).
•
A maximum of three 10W solar panels in parallel (Model SP10W12V).
•
Battery Harness (Model K94-37236).
•
One 7AH battery or one 33AH battery
•
A heater cannot be used with a solar application.
Solar Zones
Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the map
below. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not supported in
northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. The cycles/day ratings are approximations.
Ratings vary based on gate construction, installation, and temperature. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience long periods of heavy fog,
lake effect snow, or rain.
Solar zones
ZONE 1 (6 Hours of Sunlight/Day): Ideal for
solar application
ZONE 2 (4 Hours of Sunlight/Day):
Recommended for solar application
ZONE 3 (2 Hours of Sunlight/Day): Success
of solar application will depend on type of
gate operator and location of the solar panel
