It works good but for the last 4 weeks we did not have hardly any sun and it rained steady and it did not charge the battery and a result, the battery is dead and I have to get a new battery other wise during the summer ti may work fine.

Solar panel for auto gate opener

I could've purchased the 5-Watt solar panel, but decided to go with a bit more power. I'm very glad for that decision. We sometimes open our gate 15 to 20 times a day with no problems. And we had to instal it in a place that has a huge shade tree, so the panel only gets about 3 to 4 hours a day of direct sunlight, and this doesn't appear to be a problem what-so-ever.

Keeps my gate battery charged

Only a few times when we had a lot of snow did my gate battery get low. In heavy snow I had to clean off the solar panel. I only needed the big battery charger once this winter.

Easy to install, well built, has all the parts you need

Very easy to install on a wood fence post and has all the parts you need. I found that snow glides off the solar panel very easily. Snow does stack up on it, but the slightest breeze blows it right off.

Great addition to our gate opener

So far love it. It's been about six weeks since the install (which was easy) and it's kept up the battery on our entrance gate. We are low use users though because we probably only open and close it 3 or 4 times a day tops.

It works!

I was concerned that it would not keep my battery charged on cloudy days, but so far, so good! It seems to hold a charge quite well. I could not get the support to work properly, but the panel seems to be working fine nonetheless.

Have been using for several years now

Living in the desert is very hard on anything that stays in the sun ALL the time. This has held up beautifully and all I do is wipe it off monthly. It powers the opening of a 12 foot gate and has never faltered. It is used with the Mighty Mule gate opener.

Love this solar feature

We bought several component for our Mighty Mule gate. This is the best. We bought an extra battery to have charged just in case we have a couple of cloudy days. We have the dual gate so we bought the 10 watt size. We love it.

10 Watt Solar Panel Battery Charger

Purchased this panel because of constant problems with lightning strikes causing destruction of my Mighty Mule circuit board. Seem every time I had a lightning storm nearby, the current would somehow affect my transformer wires causing an electrical surge which would not only destroy the circuit board but blow out the transformer. The last strike even destroyed the wires making it impossible to continue charging the batteries with 110 voltage. I was forced to then buy the panel for battery charging. I have had the panel installed now for three months and have not had one system failure as far as the gate opening. I have a duel gate system made out of iron oil field piping and go in and out at least seven times per day. I was concerned the heavy gate would draw so much battery power that the charging aspect of the 10 watt panel could not keep up and I would have to purchase a second panel to supplement the original. So far that has not been the case and the batteries have been sufficiently charged to maintain operation. Wish I had installed it years ago. Would have saved me several hundred dollars in circuit board and transformer replacement.

Five Stars

If your gates are heavy definitely buy two to get the power necessary to run your gates.
