NICE / APOLLO 208, BRACKET, SOLAR PANEL
The Nice Apollo 208 bracket is used to mount a compatible 12V solar panel for Apollo/Nice gate operator charging systems. A solar panel only works well when it is mounted securely and aimed for the best available sun exposure, so the bracket is an important part of the installation rather than just a convenience item. It is commonly used with smaller Apollo solar panels, including 5 watt through 20 watt sizes, and is often paired with the Apollo 201 solar kit or similar 12V panel assemblies. The bracket should be installed on a stable post, operator surface, or other solid mounting point that keeps the panel clear of shade, gate movement, and service hazards. For larger panels, high-wind locations, or higher-cycle solar systems, verify the recommended bracket and panel size before ordering.

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.
