Questions & Answers
Do I need a battery controller
HI Darron, you will need a battery to work with the 10 watt solar panel. The solar panel will use the battery to open and close on cloudy days. This way, your gate will open and close as needed. Please check out our installation videos on Mighty Mule.com or YouTube. Thank you
How many volts
The FM123 Solar Panel from Mighty Mule is rated at 12 volts and delivers 10 watts of power. It's designed to provide a continuous trickle charge to keep your gate opener's 12V battery fully powered, especially in off-grid or rural installations. Great question, thank you
Does the solar panel open the gate AND charge the battery or simply charge the battery so the battery can open the gate?
Hi Vinny, the solar panel charges the battery, so the battery can open the gate. That's why on clouding days, the gate will still open. Great question. Thank you
Does this gate opener have two motion detectors?
Hi Bonnie, not sure which gate opener you are referring to but, if you are interested in adding a motion sensor to your gate opener, there are several ways available. First, none of our gate opener come with this option as a kit, you would have to add an accessory. The FM140 is a 100 ft wired vehicle sensor that can be buried and the motion of your car will open the gate. This would be your best choice. Hope this helps.
What is voltage for this
Hi Jimmy, Our 10 watt panel is 12 volts. Thank you for that question.
If one panel is not give enough electricity for our gate usage can we add more panels wired in parallel.
Hi Dann, If your solar panel is not producing enough power to open and close your gate, try a larger fresh marine battery as a back-up. A cloudy day may make the unit less powerful. A battery back-up will help it open and close as needed. Hope this helps.
Does Mighty Mule make a 30 watt solar panel?
Hi BillA, Unfortunately the answer is no, however you can purchase another brand and use a 30 watt solar panel with our units. Hope this helps.
Is this Panel Monocrystalline or polycrystalline?
HI BeeJay, sorry for the delay, but I needed to check with our engineering team for this question. We use Monocrystalline in our Solar Panels. Great question, and thanks for asking.
