SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

Select Site for Solar Panel(s)

The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The solar panel(s) comes with a 10' cable. If a location near the control box cannot be found, an additional cable will be required. The LA412 Solar Gate Operator is not supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4F. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart for areas that reach below 32F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper operation.

The map (above) and cycles/day ratings are approximations and do not account for installed accessories that draw additional battery power. Ratings vary based on gate construction and installation. They are also shown for using a single 10W solar panel in conjunction with two 12 Volt 7.0 AH batteries. Ratings will improve by adding additional 10W solar panels. If required, up to three 10W panels (30W total) can be wired in parallel to increase the number of cycles per day.

NOTE: The solar panel(s) recommendation is based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given regions. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience heavy fog or lake effect rain and snow.
