We run a liftmaster on a much heavier gate than that and it works great. I’m not sure which model unfortunately.

I have a ghost control gate opener with solar panel. Works great just have to make sure the mounting post is secure so no movement when gate opens and closes.

Liftmaster La400 works well. The power is actually from two 12 volt batteries in the control box that can be charged either through solar panel or wire hook up. I ran a direct burial cable about 850 ft from my nearest plug to power mine. Ended up coming back and running it through pvc conduit because gophers I think chewed it. There is a voltage regulator plug that controls the charge. If you go that route, keep an extra regulator on hand because they go out about once a year. My neighbor used the solar and it worked well.
