Maximum Controls Solar Power Pack is designed for use in Maximum Controls’ pad mount gate operators but can used to power low amp draw applications requiring a 24VDC power source.
With the Solar Combiner up to 4 Solar Power Packs with 200w solar panels can be wired together to form a single ended 24VDC supply source.

MAX SOLAR PACK Specifications
Values come from the Maximum Controls quick installation guide (Rev4, 2020), 2025 catalog and slide PRO installation guide 7E.4. Where they disagree, both figures are shown.
| Battery | 24 V AGM, 36 Ah (two 12 V Yuasa batteries); Rev4 cover callout reads 35 Ah |
|---|---|
| Solar regulator | Morningstar, 24 V; 10 A in the Rev4 guide and 2025 catalog, 20 A in installation guide 7E.4 |
| Fuse | 30 A; one included fuse goes into the empty slot at setup |
| Connection | Power cable to the Matrix III Power IN/Solar IN port |
| Enclosure | Heavy-duty sheet metal, gold zinc powder-coated, with handle and ON/OFF switch |
| Shipping weight | 62 lb |
| Compliance | UL 325 and UL 1741 compliant |
| Compatible operators | All PRO series slide operators and the MXG series; MEGA 1400 HP PRO and MEGA 2200 HP PRO swing operators |
| Solar panel | Chosen from the guide’s chart: 60, 85, 120 or 200 W |
| Low-power mode | Begins 30 seconds after the gate stops with loops idle; 12 V DC output and exit loop stay on, center and safety loops turn off |
| Recommended accessories | EDI LMA1800-LP plug-in loop detectors; low-power radio receiver and keypad |
| Expansion | MAX Solar Pack Combiner: up to 1,000 cycles per day, and it integrates AC power |
For a MAX Slider PRO on a heavy gate, the guide’s Zone 1 table (6 hours of sun daily; its map places Southern California there) lists 382 cycles per day with 1 rainy day, or 136 with 10, on a 200 W panel at 26 mA total draw. At 250 mA those drop to 344 and 98.
In Riverside and Corona, the pack fits a gate where AC cannot reach the operator pad, such as a slide on a MAX 2200 PRO, provided every accessory is low-power.
