Solar Powered Gate Openers [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Steve & Frank,

Thanks for your quick replies.  I am here in Southern MO.  What (Inches)
size of solar panel does it come with.  My potential customer is very
concerned about a "big ugly panel."  It show it as a $129 option so it can't
be that big but I'm guessing it's amorphous which means it will be a little
bigger.  This is going to be a residence so I am not expecting a lot of
cycles per day.

Thanks Again,

Travis Creswell
