I took a look at one my customer's garage usage, I was not there, but
Egauge said total load when opening or closing the garage door, was 650
watts for about 30 seconds. meaning 5.6 Wh for a single operation. twice a
day 22.4 Wh daily use two open and close cycles. but I see a background
load
So why not use one of the garage doors that has a built in backup battery and
just charge the built in battery directly?
Its got all the internals already done?
Install a CC and PV module and you are all done?

Not even going to mention building code and running DC wiring outside of
the area (battery/inverter/chargers location) an inspector would allow.
Even some of the very rural/extreme remote counties I work in know that
they are ill-equipped to inspect DC wiring. Some will tell you there is no
Wow, this is flash from the past… I had almost forgotten about running DC in a
house or garage.
With todays inverter efficiency’s & costs VS. the cost of proper DC wire
sizing, garage lighting?, & having to modify a reliable lift system, etc.
Is there really a cost savings in the longs run?
