Solar Panel Zone Map
The colors on this map designate solar zones during the periods of the year when the least amount of sun light is available. The
recommended cycles do not factor the power draw of accessories. Cycles are considered one full opening and closing movement of a
maximum size/weight gate for the corresponding opener. Cycles are also figured to be proportionally distributed over a 12 to 14 hour
period; not consecutive.
