Green Gate Access Systems
launches UK’s first
solar barrier kits
Kent based company, Green Gate Access Systems, has launched the UK’s first solarpowered car park barrier system. The kits - manufactured by Italian company, O&O, of
which Green Gate Access Systems is the UK importer - have been described as a ‘UK
solution for the UK market’ and are the only solar kits developed in the UK to operate in the
UK - all year round.
The O&O Up & Down barriers are perfect for operation from solar-power where a green
solution is required or a mains supply is not readily available. Often, providing power is the
most expensive part of fitting an access control barrier, but the solar option allows security
to be fitted to the most remote locations. The standard solar panel will operate the barrier
up to 100 times a day and can be upgraded to 950 operations - in a British winter! The
solar system also assume each barrier will be fitted with a GSM intercom and exit loop as
standard and are rated to cover this in the solar calculations.
“These solar-powered barrier systems add a completely new dimension to the UK security
market” said Managing Director, Neil Sampson. “Having already proved their worth with
clients such as BT, DHL and the NHS, they are perfect in remote or shared power locations
and can be upgraded to suit even the busiest entrance. Supplied with everything that’s
required, including solar panels and four year warranty, the kits are a massive cost saving
when mains is more than 50 metres away. We have continued our solar expertise into our
range of solar gate automation with a section of ram and underground automation with 10
year warranties that can be operated up to 200 times, per winter day.”
