With the Estate Swing Solar series, you can automate your residential gate by harnessing the power of the sun. Estate Swing gate openers are designed for DIY customers, featuring easy bolt-on brackets and simple setback templates. Estate Swing makes it easy for any homeowner to install their gate opener and automate their gate. The E-S 1000D 20-Watt solar unit comes standard with all the components needed to automate your gate, including mounting brackets (hardware to affix the brackets to the gate and column are not included). All Estate Swing units are built to the highest standards worldwide, meeting and exceeding UL standards for anti-crushing safety. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality control testing for every component. You won't be disappointed with the E-S 1000D 20-Watt solar option; it operates quietly and quickly reaches its extended length, and comes standard with one of the most solar-efficient gate boards on the market today (Battery Not Included). When determining how many times a solar panel will allow your battery to open and close the gate, several variables must be considered, including geographic location, battery size, gate length and weight, and the number of add-on components plugged in. The E-S 1000D is capable of both pushing and pulling to open your gate.
