Although the 30% tax rebate offered to those who purchase solar products (see below for more details) is enough of an incentive to convince most people to turn solar, AGW has worked hard to save customers even more money. We evaluated all of our products to find the most affordable combinations of operators and accessories. The result: you save hundreds of dollars on entire gate operator packages in addition to your solar rebate! This solar package features the Apollo 7100ETL.
With our special package,
you save $504 off of what these products would have cost otherwise.
This package includes the following products:
- 1 x Apollo 7100ETL Slide Operator
- 1 x AAS DKW Wireless Keypad
- 2 x Apollo 220DC Transmitter
- 1 x Apollo 318DC Receiver
- 1 x 20watt Solar Panel
- 1 x SG4-Regulator
- 1 x NIR Retro-Reflective Photoeye Safety Beam
- 3 x AGW 4X8 Preformed Loop w/ 50'
- 2 x 12Vdc Loop detector
This package is the complete deal. You will receive everything necessary to meet your needs. The operator, solar panel, and regulator (which protects the battery from becoming overcharged) are all included. Also, we include two transmitters and a receiver so that you can wirelessly open and close your gate. The AAS DKW wireless keypad allows anyone who does not have a transmitter to open the gate if they know the code. And, lastly, you will receive 3 of our famous AGW preformed loops, 1 NIR Safety Beam, and 2 loop detectors to prevent your gate from closing on cars, people, or other objects and provide you with total safety.

AGW has always strived to be on the forefront of the growing need for solar applications in the gate industry. We understand that customers are increasingly more likely to consider the environmental effects of a purchase. Solar powered gate operators are the ideal solution to such concerns.
Yet, despite the savings in energy costs, the drawback to solar applications has always been the initial cost of the products. But, we would like everyone to know that there is a 30% tax rebate offered by the Federal Government (for up to $1500). That means that if you spend $1500, you will be eligible for a $500 credit on your Federal taxes. This tax rebate is not only a great way lower the initial cost of a solar application, it also could make your initial cost lower than a non-solar application!
