Conclusions

  • We installed a Mighty Mule dual gate opener.
  • There are two batteries in parallel to prevent issues with not enough voltage/amperage for the system.
  • There is too much shadow in the location where the gate is. We either need more solar or more Sun.
  • No lights at this point. I still think a motion activated light would be a good idea.
