Pros
  • Works far from an outlet: the solar panel comes in the box
  • UL 325 listed to the 7th edition
  • Lifetime limited warranty on both motors and gear assemblies
  • A 32 ft cable for the second arm reaches across a wide opening
Cons
  • Needs a 12 V deep cycle battery bought separately
  • Solar only: it cannot run from an AC transformer
  • The kit is sized for a 24 ft opening, so leaves over 12 ft need checking with Ghost
  • One 10 W panel runs two arms, so a busy gate may need more panel
  • Not for panel or privacy gates
