One of the leading trends in security gates in the last few years has been the use of solar powered gate openers. Solar powered gate openers work just like the conventional gate openers with a major difference – they operate using solar energy. These gates offer numerous benefits, and users need to consider certain aspects while determining whether or not these solar powered gate openers are the right option or not.
Why Choose A Solar Powered Gate Opener?
There are numerous benefits to having a solar powered gate opener, some of the vital ones are mentioned below:
How Often Do You Need To Open/Close The Door Each Day?
Solar powered gate openers generally have a sufficient amount of energy to open/close the gate 8 to 10 times a day. This perhaps not be a problem for most of the residential owners. However, if you need to open/close the gate several times a day, you perhaps need to look for a different solution.
Are Your Getting 8 Hours Of Unobstructed Sunlight Every Day?
Solar powered gate openers operate on sunlight. You will require at least 8 hours of unobstructed daylight every day so that the gate opener could store enough energy to operate smoothly. If your gate or premises is surrounded by trees, you perhaps will not get enough sunlight. If this is the case, you likely will not be able to install a solar powered gate opener.
