If you buy this gate opener and you want to use the solar panel, you have to buy battery AND soloar panel separately?

Yes, because some people have access to electricity at their gate locations and don't need Solar and batteries.Be sure to buy a sealed battery made for solar- automobile or lawnmower batteries with caps on top will outgas and corrode the computer of the gate opener. Then charge the new battery before you install it in the opener.

Yes, it takes both a battery, which you can get at a local auto parts store, and a solar panel of the correct wattage/voltage.

The battery spec is listed on the gate opener itself - it's a standard type battery. You do not need a housing if you are using the sentry gate opener with the controller box. There is a battery compartment within the controller box for the battery. I made the mistake of ordering the battery housing and found I didn't need it.

I connected successfully this solar panel for electric motor gate opener aleko 900 using 2 12v batteries. I can only open two or three times after sunset

Yes it comes with a remote controller that you can carry in your vehicle. A solar panel can be purchased from the company and you can order an extra if you use the battery very often or live in the NW where it's cloudy. You can also run power to the control box and not use a solar panel. Yes you can attach a key pad control at the gate. It too can be obtained from the company.

Correct. You do not need a seperate charge controller unless you are putting more than 15watts to the battery. That's three panels! It says the same thing in the owners manual.Correction: I see this is for the 7watt panel. In this case that would be TWO panels total. I have the 5watt panels, so that is where the math came from. The 15watt limit before needing the charge controller still applies for all panels.

Solar panels are separate. It does have a hand crank on top for self power.

1 battery and 1 solar panel are integrated into one unit. Additional panels can be added to the original unit. This unit also has the inputs and outputs integrated that allow you to charge devices, or to charge the battery. The more panels you add, the faster the unit will charge. I have 3 additional panels on mine. Extra panels can be detached for storage, or can be left attached and folded at the hinges.

It comes with mc4 connectors on the leads. I know it shows all the other wires in the picture but the newer panel just comes with the 2 (-) and (+) leads. Yes, you will need a solar controller if you are hooking this panel to a battery. The controller regulates voltage into the battery to prevent overcharging and a good controller will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low.

You can use the device without the solar panels connected. The panels are just used to charge the device.

No. You also need a voltage regulator to ensure no overcharging of your battery, or you need to manually monitor charging so you do not ruin your battery. I think the regulator I bought was less than ten dollars and it was all I needed for three panels.

One connector goes to the solar panel, one to a battery and the other is for direct connector to another device. So unless you had a splitter from the dedicated battery lead, only one battery can be connected.

Yes but Parmak makes two units with the solar panel and battery included which would be an easier way to go.

Yes and yes:-)Also, if you're going to look up the solar panel consider buying an additional battery as there's space forward in the box. This will ensure that you have plenty of power to open the gate anywhere up to 16 times a day. I have no problems with my gate at all and I open it a lot during the day. Where I live it's very overcast and I've had no problems.

The battery below will work - installed it and no need for a battery housing if using the sentry gate opener with the controller box - battery came with terminal screws - all you need to install and connectUPG 85980/D5722 Sealed Lead Acid Battery (12V; 35 AH; UB12350)UPG 85980/D5722 Sealed Lead Acid Battery (12V; 35 AH; UB12350)

No that is sold as is. You have to buy either a door control package or a 12 volt battery.

if the fence doesn't come with a battery you will need one . The panel just powers up the battery, it won't run the fence on its own. also, you can't charge the battery while the fence is turned on.

Obviously, you need the power source, and the Enphase is specifically designed to mount and connect to a solar panel. It is also designed as a system, so the gateway controller is an important option for control. Finally, the installation must meet building codes, so there are circuit breakers and such to worry about. The Enphase is a component of a larger system, and should not be considered a stand alone product.
