Today is International Solar Day, and at Ghost Controls®, we're always providing our customers with ways to convert their systems to clean solar energy. Solar power is a preferable alternative to a conventional power source whenever you want to go off the grid. By mounting one of our monocrystalline panels near your system, you can keep it opening and closing with a self-sustaining supply of energy.
The amount of solar capability needed for an automatic gate opener system varies by usage amount and geographic area, but a solar solution is compatible with every Ghost Controls® remote gate opener kit available for purchase. Ghost Controls® has quality solar options that will reliably power your electric driveway gate opener as long as the sun has been out.
If you're interested in turning your Ghost Controls® kit into a solar operator, the process is as simple as purchasing your own solar panel. By investing in one of our premium monocrystalline panels, you have the option to power your driveway single swing gate if the distance from an AC power source is too far. Additionally, you'll be using sustainable energy the same day you unbox your unit with Ghost Controls® easy installation resources. Each panel is shipped with mounting hardware, and wiring the panel to your control box is relatively hassle free.
The AXDP 10 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel Kit is the most commonly used solar accessory with swing gate operators. Its smaller size makes it easy to install, but it still has considerable capability. You can additionally find this panel included with the solar varieties of our T-Series of gate operator kits, the TSS1XP and TDS2XP. Including the 10 Watt panels with these popular kits makes them useful for immediately solar powering your driveway gate system without the need to order the panel separately.

Our larger, most powerful variant of solar panels is the AX30, which has an output of 30 Watts of solar energy and can power gates that require more electricity. For properties in more temperate areas, the lesser amount of sunlight will provide the need for either multiple ADXP solar panels, or a single AX30. The AX30 is not included with any automatic gate opener kits, but will easily integrate with any Ghost Controls® system.
