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. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the
winter months. The cycles/day ratings published in the owner's manuals 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. Refer to your gate operator owner's manual for the number of panels to achieve the cycles per day required for your application.
