Solar Powered Automatic Gate ENERGY Solar 29-1-11 Most automatic gates try to open the gate using leverage at the hinged end of the gate, which requires a lot of power. This new gate opener uses a wheel-mounted unit to pull the gate open from the other opposite end. Solar energy provides plenty of power, with no need for outside electricity.

Sells for $3,500.
