Proven Results Across Santa Clarita Neighborhoods
Emergency PSPS Battery Backup &
Solar Retrofit in Stevenson Ranch
Homeowner: David & Elena Morales
Location: Stevenson Ranch, CA
Project Type: Residential Estate Power Resilience Upgrade
Service: 24V DC Battery Backup Integration & Auxiliary Solar Charging
System Scope: Dual Swing Wrought Iron Entry Gate
Operator Brand: LiftMaster LA500PKGU Dual Swing Operator
Estimated Project Cost: $1,450–$1,850
Project Timeline: 1 working day (4 hours total site work)
Dual Swing Gate Power Failover and Backup Battery Integration
David and Elena live in a hillside Stevenson Ranch neighborhood subject to frequent Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during high-fire-danger weather. During a recent wildfire warning, a sudden utility grid power loss left their heavy double wrought iron gate. They had to manually unbolt the operator arms to exit the property.
The goal was to integrate an automated battery backup system with auxiliary solar charging to guarantee gate operation during multi-day grid outages and emergency evacuations.
High Motor Load and Canyon Thermal Degradation
The estate's main gate relies on heavy 14-foot wrought iron leaves, requiring high peak motor draw during cycle starts. Standard consumer backup batteries overheat and degrade quickly under 100°F+ Santa Clarita summer heat. The replacement failover system needed to sustain at least 50 continuous open and close cycles over a 72-hour power loss window without manual intervention.
24V DC Battery System Installation, Solar Panel & Torque Calibration
Our gate technicians audited the existing operator control board and mounted a weather-tight LiftMaster 24VDC battery backup enclosure. Then, we wired a 30-watt monocrystalline solar panel auxiliary charging kit onto the stone gate pillar. This panel maintained battery float voltage during extended PSPS outages.
We gave special attention to soft-start and soft-stop torque settings to reduce battery draw during initial acceleration. We programmed the automatic fail-open sequence for critical low-battery scenarios and performed 5 consecutive simulated main AC power cut tests.
1-Day Battery Backup Retrofit Schedule
- Hour 1: Site power diagnostic, control board compatibility check, and enclosure mounting
- Hour 2: Wiring 24V DC battery harness, solar charge controller, and 30W panel
- Hour 3: Soft-start torque calibration, fail-open programming, and circuit heat testing
- Hour 4: Simulated main breaker disconnect tests, manual release demonstration, and cleanup
$1,450–$1,850 Estimated Battery Backup Investment
The estimated project cost was $1,450–$1,850, based on the dual 24V DC deep-cycle battery kit, auxiliary solar panel package, weather-tight enclosures, control board logic updates, and full system load testing.
Actual battery retrofit costs can vary based on operator age, control board compatibility, motor voltage, solar requirements, and mounting conditions.
Uninterrupted Property Access During Power Grid Shutoffs
The upgraded gate system provided David and Elena with zero-latency failover during power outages. Testing confirmed the system completes up to 65 full cycles on battery power alone.

Yes, we handle HOA gated community gate installations and repairs by coordinating directly with association boards. We also schedule our repair and maintenance work at peak community traffic hours so residents experience minimal disruption.
We recommend servicing residential gates at least once a year, and high-cycle commercial or HOA gates quarterly. Santa Clarita’s dry climate, seasonal temperature shifts, and heavy Santa Ana winds trap dust and accelerate hardware wear much faster than in coastal areas, making regular lubrication and calibration essential.
We install a variety of secure access systems tailored to your specific privacy and traffic needs:
- Keypad entry systems: $400 to $1,200 installed
- HD video intercom platforms: $1,500 to $4,500 installed
