Advanced Gate Motor Solar Calculator
Calculate the solar system size needed for your automatic gate motors with motor-specific calculations
Motor Specifications
Amps
Watts
Standby power is typically between 0.5W and 5.5W for most gate motors.
Time for gate to fully open or close
3 days
Average hours of effective sunlight in your location
Note: System efficiency losses (20%) and battery depth of discharge (50%) are factored into calculations.
How Motor Type Affects Calculation
Sliding gates typically require more power due to the weight of the gate and friction in the tracking system.
