All Patriot solar gate openers include the new high efficiency 6 watt solar panel with
mounting bracket. The new style panel will increase charging capabilities and provide better charging on cloudy days and in
partial shade conditions. This panel will allow our gate openers to provide more cycles per day than all other solar operators
in the market.
All Patriot solar gate openers will also include a charge controller. This will prevent
overcharging, extend battery life and improve the charging performance of the solar panel.
By using the Patriot Control Board to control a photo eye and by using solar friendly accessories,
you can design and install a complete system. USAutomatic continues to work with accessories and control board design to offer
methods and products to reduce battery drain. For solar installations of more than 50 cycles per day please consult us for
design assistance.
Recommended Battery - 33 amp hour minimum, maintainence free GEL / AGM / Lead Acid.
The warranty for Patriot control boards will continue to be five years. All operator components
including actuators, solar panels, radio equipment and chargers will have warranty coverage for three years.
