NICE / APOLLO 201, SOLAR KIT, 5W IMP & BRKT
The Nice Apollo 201 solar kit provides a small 5 watt solar charging source for compatible 12V Apollo gate operator systems. It is intended for low-cycle installations where the solar panel can keep the operator battery charged between gate cycles. This type of kit is commonly used on remote driveways, farm gates, residential swing gates, and lower-traffic slide gate applications where bringing AC power to the operator is not practical. Correct sizing matters: a 5 watt panel may be suitable for light use with good sun exposure, but it can be undersized for heavy cycles, shaded locations, long accessory run times, intercom loads, or weak batteries. The panel should be mounted for the best available sun and connected only through the proper Apollo/Nice charging arrangement for the operator.

Technician Note
Match this part by the installed operator model, original part number, and current Nice Apollo parts diagram. Many Apollo service parts look similar across generations, but small differences in mounting, lead length, brackets, control-box style, or included hardware can make the wrong part unusable.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the complete operator model number and series.
- Compare the existing part to the part number shown on this page.
- Check mounting holes, bracket style, cable or lead length, and included hardware when applicable.
- Confirm whether this is a complete kit or only one component of the assembly.
- Do not bypass photo eyes, safety edges, or other required safety devices during troubleshooting.
Professional Advisory
Gate operator repairs should be performed with the gate secured and power disconnected where required. For high-voltage wiring, travel-limit problems, damaged barrier arms, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician.
