I bought this panel to install in parallel with my original that I bought with the gate operator. I’m in a wooded area so it’s impossible for me to get the 8 hrs Ghost Controls reccommends, so I was going to locate this second one in a different location, which would have required me to dig accross my driveway. Instead I figured I’d try to add next to my first one just to see, and it’s worked great! Once summer rolls around, I get plenty of sunshine, so it is only an issue in winter months.
Glad I bought this second one. If I had to do it over I would have ordered the larger panel to start with, but this works fine.

Unlike Mighty Mule openers which this Ghost Control replaced, Ghost really works every time, easy install and adjustment and does what it’s supposed to do. Well worth the money for the whole system.

Great product. Battery is now staying charged on our gate system.

It was so easy to install and set up. I have two gates with a solar panel for each. They work fine keeping batteries charged even in cold and cloudy winters here in Ohio. I had a cosmetic problem with the brackets but they were replaced quickly by the company. Great products from a company that stands behind their merchandise.

Does what it is intended to do. Keeps batteries fully charged.

My gate opener was installed with a 10-watt solar panel. Worked well until this winter. More clouds & rain than usual in CA this year. Direct sunlight was heavily filtered or sometimes completely blocked.
The battery could not fully charge in the limited hours of sunlight. Rather than relocating the panel or adding 10-watt panel(s) in series, I replaced the 10-watt with this 30-watt panel and added a backup battery. It generates more power faster and can completely charge two batteries with the few hours of sunlight per day during the winter.
Quick and easy to install, and plenty of reliable power now. Did not require tech support.

I have only own this for 2 weeks. Easy to install. I hope this helps in charging the batteries, I would have to charge them at least once a month besides the 10 watt solar panel. I live in the eastern Washington and we get a lot of sun in the summer but fall and winter cloudy.
