HySecurity offers a solar version of the SwingSmart operator: SwingSmart DCS20. The solar model has
different internal wiring and includes software programmed for solar use. The Smart DC Controller has a
built-in charger which allows a 24V solar panel (or two 12V panels) a direct connection to the SwingSmart
operator with no additional electronic devices required.
NOTE
Solar panels are NOT included in the purchase of the SwingSmart DCS 20 Solar operator.
Also, adapting a standard SwingSmart DC operator to a solar application is not recommended.
For ease of installation and proper functionality, be sure to order a SwingSmart DCS 20 for a
solar-powered site.

operator does not have the following components:
