Solar Gate Openers & Access Control Systems
Power. Security. Control. Go Off-Grid and Manage Your Entrance from Anywhere.
Running a 110V electrical line from your house to your driveway gate can be a nightmare. It requires trenching through your landscaping, cutting through concrete, and expensive electrical permits.
The Solution? Go Solar. At Coppell Garage Door Pros, we specialize in high-efficiency solar gate operators that deliver reliable, 24/7 performance without a single wire connected to the grid. We combine this eco-friendly power with cutting-edge Access Control technology—giving you total command over who enters your property.

Why Choose a Solar Gate Opener?
Modern DC motors (like the LiftMaster LA400 or Viking K-2) are incredibly energy-efficient, making solar a practical choice even for heavy iron gates.
No Trenching Required: Save $1,000+ on electrical infrastructure. We mount a discrete panel on your fence, and you’re done.
Works During Power Outages: When the city grid goes down during a Texas storm, your neighbors’ electric gates will be stuck. Yours will keep working because it generates its own power.
Tax Incentives: The installation often qualifies for the Residential Clean Energy Credit, putting money back in your pocket.
Our Solar Package Includes:
High-Efficiency 10W or 20W Solar Panel.
Dual 12V Deep-Cycle Marine Batteries (High Capacity).
MPPT Solar Regulator (prevents overcharging).
Access Control: Who Gets In?
A gate is only as secure as its lock. We install advanced entry systems for homes and estates.
1. Telephone Entry & Intercoms
Stop guessing who is at the gate.
- Cellular Systems: Units like LiftMaster CAPXL utilize a SIM card. When a guest presses the button at the gate, it calls your cell phone. You can talk to them and press “9” to buzz them in, from anywhere in the world.
- Video Intercoms: See exactly who is there via a high-definition camera before you open the gate.
2. Keypads & Goose-Neck Stands
- Wireless Keypads: Perfect for family members or trusted contractors (pool cleaners, landscapers) who need a dedicated 4-digit PIN code.
- Temporary Codes: Set up a code that only works for 24 hours for a party or delivery.
3. Vehicle Detection Loops (Exit Loops)
Don’t fumble for your remote when you leave.
- How it works: We bury a sensor loop in the driveway asphalt or place a “probe” next to the driveway. When it detects the metal of your car approaching from the inside, it automatically opens the gate for a seamless exit.
4. Emergency Access (SOS)
- Fire/Police Access: We install Knox Boxes or SOS sensors that detect the “Yelp” siren of an approaching emergency vehicle and open the gate instantly. This is often required by Coppell fire code.
Smart Gate Technology (myQ)​
Turn your smartphone into your remote control. With LiftMaster myQ® integration, you can:
- Open and close the gate via the app.
- Set schedules (e.g., “Keep gate open from 8 AM to 10 AM for the gardener”).
- Receive push notifications instantly if the gate is forced open or left ajar.
The Solar Assessment: Ensuring 100% Reliability
Perfect for Ranches & Acreage Properties
For estate owners in Coppell, Double Oak, or Argyle with long driveways, bringing electricity to the front gate is often the most expensive part of the project.
- Eliminate Trenching Costs: Running electrical conduit 500+ feet from the main house can cost thousands of dollars in copper wire and trenching labor. Solar eliminates this cost entirely.
- Heavy-Duty “Farm” Hardware: We install rugged, locking control boxes that protect your batteries and electronics from weather, livestock, and vandalism.
- Long-Range Access: Standard remotes won’t reach a gate 500 feet away. We install High-Gain Antenna Kits and “Repeater” systems so you can click your remote from the porch and have the gate open instantly.

Expert Answers: Solar Gates & Tech
Will a solar gate work during a long stretch of cloudy days?
Yes. This is the most common concern we hear. A properly installed system doesn’t run off the sun directly; it runs off a large battery bank. The solar panel is just the charger. Our systems are designed with a “7-day autonomy” reserve, meaning a fully charged battery can open and close your gate hundreds of times even if the sun doesn’t shine for a week.
What is the range of a standard gate remote?
A standard visor remote typically works up to 50-100 feet from the gate.
- Need more range? If your house is set far back from the road, we can install a Long-Range Receiver with an external antenna. This boosts the signal reception up to 1,000 feet, allowing you to open the gate for guests from your front porch.
Can I control my gate with Amazon Alexa or Siri?
Yes. If we install a LiftMaster myQ connected operator (or retrofit your existing one), it can integrate with smart home platforms. You can use voice commands like “Alexa, close the main gate” or check the status of the gate from your office to ensure it’s locked.
Do I need a telephone line for the intercom?
Not anymore. Old systems required a dedicated landline, which was expensive and prone to static. Modern Cellular Entry Systems (like the LiftMaster CAPXL) use a standard SIM card (AT&T/Verizon). They are wireless, offer clearer audio, and call your mobile phone directly, no landline required.
