hello.
Yes I worked for the several of leading manufacturers of automatic operators for about thirty years
Solar can be done most anywhere. Where will this system be installed? Just what are you needing accomplish. How far away will the gate be from the house? Do have internet service at the home? Will you need a company to install the system or will you be going it yourself?
Keep in mind there is still the 30% Federal Alternative energy tax credit available if this their primary residence
Just give me some background on what you want the system to do and I can provide you a list of equipment
