Q: Are solar electric gates a reliable option for my property?

A: Yes, solar electric gates are a highly reliable and eco-friendly option. They operate using solar panels, which convert sunlight into energy to power the gate system. This makes them perfect for properties in remote locations or where running electrical cables can be challenging. Modern solar gate systems come with battery backups to ensure consistent operation, even on cloudy days or during power outages. Additionally, they can help reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint.

Q: What Are Electric Gates and How Do They Work?

A: Electric gates or automated gates powered by an electric motor provide enhanced security and convenience to your home or business. These gates can be controlled using various access methods such as remote controls, keypads, intercoms, or mobile apps. The motor activates the gate to open or close, allowing for easy, secure access without needing to manually operate the gate.

We install electric gates to residential homes, commercial businesses and industrial properties for both security and aesthetic appeal.

Key Benefits of Electric Gates:

• Improved security and privacy.

• A range of access control options, from remote controls to smartphone apps.
