For power tools and so on I can run an extension cable over from my flat, for the garage door I'd want to be able to just open or close it using the bipper.
It's draw is ~200 watts for approx 3 mins to either open or close, which the chap at Photonic Universe seemed to think was well within the range of a fairly modest panel/inverter/battery array.
Dammit

I'd be surprised if batteries would last long enough to run power tools/light/vac etc but other may know more.
My knowledge is based on when I had a narrowboat with 6 leisure batteries/ inverter and it was advisable to run any 240v equipment when the engine was running or connected to shore power
