Solar Controller
Does anyone make a solar or battery powered controller for those of us too lazy to do the wiring or maybe where the power might not be close by.
Only where the wiring would be extremely costly would you go to battery power.
There are two ways to go when you do not have available electricity at the location you want to install a sprinkler system.
1. You can use Battery Powered controllers or valves
2. You can use Solar Powered controllers
The best way to go is to use the battery powered controllers or valves. Solar powered controllers are very expensive.
