The table and map illustrate the
maximum number of gate cycles to
expect per day in a particular area when
using from 5 to 30 watts of solar
charging power, prior to the battery
depleting to a state where the unit will
not function (see accessory pages in
back of this book). The figures shown
are for winter (minimum sunlight) and
do not account for the use of any
accessory items. Accessories connected to your system
will draw additional power from the battery.
NOTE: A minimum of 5 watts of solar charging power is
required for Mighty Mule single gate systems, with a maximum
of 30 watts. A second battery 12V 7Ah, tractor, automotive or
deep cycle marine battery is recommended for solar and/or high
traffic applications, if needed. See Solar Panel Installation
Instructions for further information.

The solar panel must be positioned facing the path of the sun
and in an open area away from shade. It should receive at least 8
hours of direct sunlight for a full charge.
IMPORTANT: Mount the panel using
the curved pipe provided to maintain
the proper angle to the sun.
