Solar powered gates: an innovative and efficient solution
What are solar automation systems for gates?
Solar automation systems for gates are automated systems that use renewable energy as an alternative to electricity. Most automations, in fact, must be connected to the power grid. Some models allow you to use batteries to power the motor even in case of blackout. Solar automation definitively solves the problem of power blackouts. These systems are powered directly by solar energy and can also be installed in areas that are never reached by electricity.
Solar powered gates: how they work
The operation of a solar power automation is similar to that of any other device that exploits the renewable energy of the sun. Automatic gate systems, in particular, can store solar energy inside built-in batteries, ensuring autonomy even on rainy or cloudy days. In fact, storing energy means being able to exploit automation regardless of the atmospheric conditions of the moment. Finally, gates equipped with solar automation can be operated with remote controls and switches just like all other automatic gates.
Types of solar automation systems for gates
Solar powered gates have been on the market for more than 20 years, developed by leading companies in the field like TAU. In the early days, renewable energy was an innovation still requiring significant investment and work. Today, solar energy has become more important and continues to be used to make automated systems. Today’s models are smaller than the first prototypes, and, above all, guarantee superior performance. Research and the innovation over the years have allowed TAU to develop systems that are more efficient and easy to use. Thanks to our PF40 solar power kit, complete with solar panel, all 12 Volt low-voltage automations can be powered by solar energy, including sliding gates, garage doors and automatic barriers.
