SOLAR-POWERED IRRIGATION CONTROL
Operated from solar electric power, this sprinkler valve control unit needs no connection to utility electric power. Ideal for remote homes, parkgrounds, and unattended facilities. Mounts on pole or wall. Zone outputs are to standard 24Vac solenoids, which are used by all popular irrigation valves, such as Toro, Richdel, Rainbird, and Champion. Shown below with cover removed, the set consists of three main units:
1. Timer Unit incl Charge Regulator
2. Solar Panel
3. Battery
FEATURES
o Easy to Maintain - - These units are very trouble free. Service information and parts list included. Control unit is composed of standard electronic modules that are available from multiple sources. No hard-to-find parts!
o Guarantee - - Solar panel is guaranteed for 5 years. Control unit is 1 year and battery is 1 year.
o Battery Life - - Battery typically lasts 5 years. We recommend that battery ($59 or less) be replaced every 4 years.
o Accurate Timing - - Electronic clock operates from solar battery power and is not subject to mistiming due to power failure. Set and forget.
o Standard Valves - - Does not require 12Vdc solenoid valves. Any  24Vac valve may be connected.

SOLAR SIZING: Several sizes of solar panels are available: the  -05 models include 5-Watt BP Solarex array, adequate for latitudes below 40 degrees. Higher latitude installations or shady locations may require the -10 (10Watt)  or higher Watt versions.  For extreme shade, specify the 65-Watt solar  panel.
Standard cabinet color is electrical gray. Green available upon request.  (Already have 12Vdc power? Timer is available separately  Details ) 
How to choose solar panel size: Number of "watering hours per week", given below,  is for siting  latitudes up to 35degrees. More accurately, this is the rating for any area with 5ESH (equivalent solar hours), such as Southern Calif. A more northerly site such as Winnepeg or a more cloudy site such as Istanbul, with 2.5ESH, will have one-half as many watering hours available.  Likewise, areas of low cloudiness, with an ESH of 7 hours, will provide approx 50% more watering time. Note:  8 zones x 15 min/zone x 5days/wk = 10 watering hours per week (example)
