Yes. I have my controller mounted in my pop up hard wired to the battery. On the supply side (panels) I made a harness thst combines three ends into one and that is in my shore power port on the side of the trailer. So when I set up, I just place the panels on the roof and pull the harness out of the shore power recepticle and plug 'em in. Just got back from Bodega Bay, CA yesterday and the system works great!

Yes there is a manual that has all the options for assembly. The Gate opener works on either 24 volt DC supply or 120 volt AC supply for power. As you ask it does not need to work with electric power, a 24 volt battery will supply adequate power to operate but the battery has to be recharged via a suitable charger delivering 24 vdc. A solar power supply 24 volts is suitable for power source.

I'm using as a dual setup, just buy additional to this.... the second ram(USAutomatic Sentry 300D Commercial Grade Automatic Gate Opener for Dual Solar Swing Gates) here on amazon. The board actually comes equiped for both rams. Tech Support is TOP NOTCH, give them a call.

I interposed the device between the power source and electric plug for the garage door lifter motor and inserted the two wires into the device(hot vs ground)according to careful review of wiring instructions. This arrangement works as an ON/Off switch activated by the preprogrammed remote. My setup worked quite perfectly! Thank you! Pan

I use HQRP charge controller but you could use any other brand. Not sure, if you plan to add panel to existing Thunderbold setup or what is your requirement

Not Sure. I think it would work . I believe Liftmaster can be used with Mighty Mule products. It's worth a try.

Check with your installation instructions for your 300 gate opener (Mighty Mule). The earlier models of the 300 series were not wired to accept these locks. Check with Mighty Mule (800-543-4283) to be sure. If it will work, you have to ensure that the gate runs true all the time. A sagging gate will not lock itself into the gate lock receiver and will have to be monitored from time to time. When they are lined up properly, they work like a charm.

I purchased digi code 1/300 MHz multi code opener (DC 5010) to open gate (gated community). At first it did not work when I selected the various combinations on the switches on the back, and I found the battery was not connected properly so I removed it and replaced it and it works fine now.

My gate opener has built in diodes to keep the solar panel from draining the Battery at night. If your gate opener does not have this integrated in the circuit board you will need to buy a voltage regulator and put that between the input of the gate opener control board and the solar panel. Also this panel does not have built in diodes. Some panels do. My gate opener is a Mighty Mule. I think all of their boards has this built in.

No, but my quests is their branded panel is not built mighty Mule either, The 2 I purchased are working just fine.

I believe almost everything Mighty Mule does is proprietary and won't work with other brands. To be sure, you can reach them at 1 800 543-4283. Often long hold times; sometimes you'll get lucky & reach someone pretty quick. But their in-ground sensors often have problems and/or short life span. Liftmaster make a far superior product and much better customer support. I'd call them; see if they make something similar for your opener: 1 800 528-2806

Battery and solar panel do not connect directly to each other. They each connect directly to the gate opener control box. Use low voltage wire and connect the solar panel where it says solar panel in on the control box. Battery connects where it says battery in.

We used a sealed lawn mower/wheelchair 12v battery. We, also, bought it to use with our automatic gate. The opener control arm package comes with a housing that won't allow for a larger battery.

I used this panel to keep the batteries charged for my gate opener. If you use this make sure you cover it to block the sun until after everything is connected. IE: Load controller and the load, batteries also if you are charging them. This panel puts out around 28V so it will fry anything that is not going through the controller. I charged to motorcycle size batteries, 24V kept them charged. Am going to use it now to keep the batteries charged on my Quads, I will reset the charge controller to use 12V instead of 24V Great little trickle charger and it will maintain your battery, Not meant to recharge the battery just maintenance.

I was not aware of one and I hooked it up without breaking it.If you have a panel in the sun however, I would think that hooking up the batteries and any accessories first would be the right thing to do, followed by the panels connection
