With the growing concern for the sustainability of our planet, there is also a greater demand for more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.
The Sun is a natural resource that is constantly renewed and therefore is also considered a source of renewable energy – Solar Energy.
According to the Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG), Solar Energy is “the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available” and “if properly harnessed, this energy source has the potential to satisfy all future energy needs.”
With this in mind, we have been developing solutions that favor sustainability, efficiency and energy savings, while providing more connectivity, comfort and practicality to our customers.
APOLO is one of the novelties that we presented this year and that allows, through sunlight, to automate gates.
APOLO - Automatic gate powered by solar energy
Suitable for remote gates from a electrical grid and to simplify installations when it is impossible to pass electrical cables, without the need for connections or excavations, even in the most remote or difficult-to-access locations.
- Compatible with all brands on the market;
- No risk of blackouts;
- Greater economy and respect for the environment.
The energy absorbed by the panel is stored in the batteries through charge control.
In order for it to work with any automation, the system only needs to receive information on the gate position. If you do not have this information, it is possible to apply an external sensor (magnetic contact).
The Kit consists of:
- 1 Solar Panel MSP30-72A (30W)
- 1 MCHSOLAR electronic control board
- 2 Batteries 12Ah MBAT12-12AH
- Fixing plates
- Mounting accessories
Main benefits of the APOLO Solar Panel Kit
Long-lasting power and no risk of blackouts
Due to the low-consumption system that ensures operation even at night or in prolonged cloudy conditions, guaranteeing comfort and safety
Economy and respect for the environment
Thanks to free and clean solar energy, the solar panel kit is an eco-friendly and smart choice with short-term benefits.
Installable anywhere
Without the need for connections or excavations, even in the most remote locations or with difficult access to the electrical network
How does APOLO work? It's very simple!
1 – The energy absorbed by the panel is stored in the batteries through charge control.
In order for it to work with any automation, the system only needs to receive information on the gate position. If you do not have this information, it is possible to apply an external sensor (magnetic contact).
2 – The controller allows the motor control board to be switched off whenever it is in standby. In this way, all automation components are without power, leading to energy savings, increasing the efficiency and durability of the batteries.
3 – When an order is sent via the remote control or push button, the APOLO system reconnects the automation control board power supply and then sends an opening or closing order to the automation.
