This unit is a complete solar alternative kit. Complete with stand and wire, this kit replaces the need for a 110v connection. The solar panel trickle charges the battery the same as the 110v connection. It is perfect for remote locations, long driveways, or energy conservative individuals. Solar energy is the cleanest, safest form of power available; using the sun for energy benefits the environment as well as your wallet and eliminates the concern of power outages.
The solar panel is completely weatherproof and virtually indestructible. Estate Swing's non-glass solar panels feature a clear front covering and are mounted to an anodized aluminum frame. The heart of the solar panel is the collection of solar cells, which optimizes the amount of energy absorbed even in low light situations. Each cell transforms the sunlight into energy through a photovoltaic process (converting photons into electrons). Working as a cohesive unit these cells can generate electricity that will work with solar compatible gate opener systems. As a rule of thumb; heavier gates and/or more frequent cycles (a cycle is defined as one open and closure) the more solar wattage you’ll need. Review your gate opener manual for information on which panel would best suit your needs.

Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony Geato | Top of Page |
“Estate Swing has gone to long lengths to find the right solar panels for your openers. Because, lets face it, without power there is no point to having a gate opener. Our solar panels are the industry top in durability, reliability, efficiency, and versatility.
This model features a clear Tefzel® front, that might not mean a lot to the average consumer, but the Tefzel® covering makes this unit virtually indestructible. Many other units on the market still use glass.
These units caught my eye when they announced their use of Triple Junction silicon cells. This spectrum splitting capability is the key to higher efficiency at lower light levels. These units are compatible with Apollo, GTO, and Zareba Gate Openers and can be adapted to handle almost any residential gate opening system.
When you buy from DIY Gate Openers, you have the full assistance of our trained specialists and myself. We will walk you through every step of setting up your new solar panel.
We take great pride in knowing our accessories and understanding how they work. The solar panel has been thoroughly tested by my team and myself and meets our high standards for recommended accessories.”
In addition to offering innovative, industry-renowned products, DIY Gate Openers provides a unique website that helps customers truly visualize their security goals. With the online virtual builder, customers can design a customized home security gate system, complete with different gate materials and styles.
The customization goes further. DIY Gate Openers takes every aspect of gate opener installation into account, including distance to a power supply, distance from the house to the gate, and the number of homes secured by the system. By addressing these factors up front, the right gate opener can be matched to each customer’s needs, without trial and error. Our Discount It Yourself packages also let customers choose exactly what they need, not what someone else thinks they should have. Every gate opener design is truly tailored to the consumer’s specifications.
The website is designed with the customer’s needs first, and the service doesn’t stop there. If a customer finds the same gate opener or accessory at a lower price on an authorized dealer’s website, DIY Gate Openers will not only match it but also refund 10% of the difference. Likewise, if the standard Tech Support hours (9am - 9pm EST) don’t fit a customer’s schedule, they can simply email their planned installation time. DIY Gate Openers will then provide a direct number to reach a representative during that window.
How many other companies adjust their business hours to fit the customer? At DIY Gate Openers, the customer always comes first.
