Ok, how fast does it need to be?
I would used 24vdc as it easer to get parts for. Used 2 12vdc batterys with solar charger and a photo cell to open.

It would actually be better to be slow.


I probably would not be moving more than 5 lbs max. I don't think I will need an actuator quite so large or expensive. Actuator will be weather protected also.


timers would be better than photocell for some reasons but you would have to reset for daylight savings but overall probably better with timers.
