Merlin-Grifco Solar Power Kit 24V DC - 40W Solar Panel for Gate Opener

Compatible with all Merlin and Grifco gate openers.

1. Performance & Suitability - Perfect for residential & light commercial use with limited daily cycles. Under typical conditions (e.g. 6 hours of sunlight per day on the Australian East Coast), you can expect around 20 cycles per day with one set of 772ANZ Safety Beams Connected. Actual performance depends on sunlight availability, gate condition, connected accessories and environmental factors. Refer to the manual for detailed performance calculations & suitability to your location.
2. Installation Tips & Site Selection - To get the best performance from your Solar Kit, consider panel placement. Install the solar panel where it gets full sunlight—ideally facing due North. Avoid shaded or obstructed areas, as this will reduce charging efficiency. It is important to keep the solar panel close to the power supply enclosure, and ensure the enclosure is within reach of your gate opener.
3. Choosing the Right Setup - Solar performance depends on your location, sunlight hours, and how often the gate is used. Some setups may need two solar panels for reliable operation—especially in areas with less sun or higher usage. During long periods of low sunlight, you may need to recharge the system using the AC charging adaptor (included).
