Solar Panel Gate

Smart, secure and fully solar-powered automatic gate systems.

Reliable Entrance Automation — Powered by the Sun

A Solar Panel Gate uses photovoltaic panels and a battery bank to run gate motors, control electronics, and accessories — without grid power. Perfect for remote properties, energy-conscious homeowners and businesses seeking lower operating costs and greener security.

Features & Benefits

Energy Independence

Operate your gate off-grid. Solar panels charge the battery so the gate works day and night without external power.

Low Running Costs

Cut electricity bills and reduce maintenance related to wiring or power surges.

Fast Installation

No trenching or long cable runs. Most systems install quickly on existing gates and posts.

Smart Integrations

Compatible with remote controls, GSM controllers, intercoms, CCTV, and home automation platforms.

How It Works

The basic components are:

Solar panels: convert sunlight to DC electricity.
Charge controller: manages battery charging and prevents overcharge.
Batteries: store energy for night-time and cloudy days.
Gate motor & controller: the drive unit that opens and closes the gate.
Accessories: remotes, sensors, safety edges and CCTV for secure operation.

When the sun produces electricity, it charges the battery. The control system draws power from the battery to operate the gate; a charge controller keeps battery health optimal.

Typical Specifications

Panel Size

100 W — 400 W depending on site energy needs.

Batteries

12V to 48V deep-cycle batteries (lead-acid or lithium options).

Motor

12V/24V DC motors for sliding or swing gates; torque rated for gate weight.

Autonomy

2–7 days of backup depending on battery capacity and usage patterns.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation Steps

1. Site survey & load calculation. 2. Mount solar panels and route cables. 3. Install batteries and charge controller. 4. Fit gate motor(s) and control box. 5. Program remotes and safety devices. 6. Test full operation.

Maintenance Tips

Keep panels clean and angled correctly.
Check battery water levels (if lead-acid) and connections regularly.
Test safety sensors and emergency release periodically.
Schedule a professional check every 12 months.

FAQ

Can a solar gate work in cloudy climates?: Yes — with properly sized panels and batteries the system will store enough energy to cover cloudy days. For very low-sun locations, increase battery capacity or panel area.
How long do batteries last?: Lead-acid batteries typically last 3–5 years; lithium batteries can last 7–10 years depending on cycles and maintenance.
Will the gate still open during a power outage?: Yes — because the system runs on batteries charged by the solar panels, grid outages do not affect operation.
