Have a gate at the end of a long driveway or out on a hillside? Solar can be faster and cleaner than digging a trench for power.
What we do
- 24-volt DC openers that work with solar kits
- Panels sized for fog and tree shade
- Batteries that store a charge for cloudy days
- Remotes, keypads, and cellular intercoms
- Swing and sliding gates
- Converting existing openers to solar where possible
Will solar work where it’s foggy?
Yes, with the right setup. Fog and shade cut charging, so we size the panel and battery to your site and to how often your gate opens each day.
Best places for solar
Long driveways, ranch and hillside homes, and gates far from the house in places like Los Gatos, Saratoga, and the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Questions & answers
Solar Gate Openers: common questions
How many times a day can a solar gate open?
It depends on panel size, battery size, and how much sun your site gets. Tell us how often the gate opens and we size the system to fit.
What happens after a few cloudy days?
The battery holds a reserve. If your site is very shady, we can add a bigger panel or battery so the gate keeps working.
Can you convert my current opener to solar?
Many 24-volt DC openers can be. Older AC openers usually need to be replaced. We check your model on the free visit.
How much does a solar gate opener cost?
A gate opener install typically costs $2,500–$6,000, and the solar panel and battery size affect the final price. We give 100% free estimates, and prices may vary.
