Yes. Automated gate systems require a power source to operate the motor, control board, and access control devices. There are two primary options:
- Hardwired power — the most reliable option, connected directly to your property’s electrical system. Requires conduit installation and may need a licensed electrician for the panel connection.
- Solar-powered systems — an increasingly popular option for properties where running electrical conduit is difficult or cost-prohibitive. Solar gate operators charge during the day and store power for nighttime operation.
We assess your property’s electrical situation during the consultation and recommend the most practical and cost-effective power solution for your gate system. Battery backup options are also available to keep your gate operational during power outages.
