A couple Apollo openers with solar panels and interstate batterys have been going strong for a couple years for us.

Hey have 2 Mighty Mules on our residential iron gates. The bottom 18" of the gates have metal covering. During last two hurricanes, wind (100+ mph) pushed them open about 30" and bent some of the hardware. I was able to fix the components myself. MM also has good customer service in case you need help resetting or have problems.
Nice workmanship on the gate

I’ve been in the access/fencing industry for 20+ years, when Apollo and HySecurity merged The company NICE was formed. With that being said they took the expertise of Hysecurity and Apollos engineers and built the Titan…. By far hands down one of the best solar Linear actuators born. Spend the money once and you won’t be disappointed.

I currently have a US Automatic Patriot running on solar. It's been great. Opens quick, and was a breeze for me to install. From the time I opened the box, I had it going in about half a day.
Before that I had a Apollo 1550. The Nice version. It was nothing but trouble. Constant headache, and installation took me about 3 days. Instructions weren't worth a flip. Some like them as you can see from comments here, but I had a bad experience.
On another note, I just tried to order another US Automatic Patriot for a friends install, but they are about 2 months out on delivery because of parts shortages. I opted for the US Automatic Ranger HD, with a galvanized box instead of plastic. This will also be a solar setup, with wireless keypads for entry & exit of guests.Last edited by Palmetto; 06-10-2022, 01:38 PM.

I’ve liked apollo for years for solar gates. But with the requirements of safety features now they changed the boards up and I’m not as big of a fan anymore. It might have something to do with Apollo be run by the Yankees now at High Security. I’d recommend a us automatic patriot, but they do make a smaller option for the smaller gates now. I can’t speak for the smaller option, never installed one.
