One of the biggest challenges installers face isn’t selecting the right gate motor, but rather getting power to it.
Whether you’re working on a remote farm, a game lodge, an estate entrance or a property where the gate is located a significant distance from the nearest power source, providing reliable power can quickly become one of the most expensive and complex aspects of the installation.
That’s where the SMΔRT Solar Charger comes in.
Designed specifically for compatible SMΔRT+ and SMΔRT operators, the SMΔRT Solar Charger allows installers to deploy solar-powered access automation solutions where conventional AC power may be unavailable, impractical or cost-prohibitive. It integrates directly with compatible operators and forms part of CENTURION’s growing SMΔRT+ platform.
More Opportunities, Fewer Constraints
Every installer has encountered projects where the availability of power becomes a discussion point.
Do you trench hundreds of metres of cable?
Do you install additional infrastructure?
Solar technology has become an increasingly attractive option for access automation, particularly in locations where energy independence, reduced infrastructure costs and operational reliability are important considerations. CENTURION’s solar solutions are specifically positioned for off-grid sites, areas affected by power interruptions and installations where conventional power is difficult to access.
For installers, that means more opportunities to offer practical solutions without the challenges often associated with long cable runs and complex electrical installations.
One Solution Across Multiple Platforms
A major advantage of the SMΔRT Solar Charger is its compatibility across multiple operator platforms.
The SMΔRT Solar Charger supports both 12V and 24V SMΔRT and SMΔRT+ operators, allowing installers to utilise a single solar charging solution across a broad range of residential, commercial and higher-capacity applications.
This flexibility simplifies product selection while giving installers confidence that the solution can be adapted to different site requirements.
Whether you’re installing a residential operator or a larger 24V SMΔRT+ solution, the SMΔRT Solar Charger provides a compatible charging platform designed specifically for the SMΔRT platform.
Designed for Real-World Conditions
Power requirements vary from site to site.
Some installations require only modest charging capability, while others demand larger batteries and extended standby periods.
The SMΔRT Solar Charger supports adjustable charging rates and accommodates larger battery configurations on compatible systems, helping installers better match the charging solution to the specific demands of the installation.
This provides greater flexibility during system design while supporting reliable long-term performance.
Helping You Tackle Challenging Sites
For many installers, the ability to offer a viable power solution can be the difference between winning and losing a project.
Remote agricultural properties. Estate entrances. New developments. Security applications located far from available mains power.
These are the environments where solar-powered automation can offer real value.
Instead of viewing limited power availability as an obstacle, installers can provide customers with a practical, purpose-built solution designed specifically for SMΔRT and SMΔRT+ access automation systems.
SMΔRTer Power for SMΔRTer Installations
The SMΔRT Solar Charger is more than a charging accessory.
It’s a tool that gives installers greater flexibility, supports both 12V and 24V SMΔRT+/SMΔRT operators, and helps unlock opportunities where conventional power infrastructure may not be practical.
For installers looking to expand what’s possible, solar power is no longer a niche solution.
It’s becoming another valuable part of the modern access automation toolkit.
