EDIT: Nevermind. I spoke to the manufacturer who cleared up some confusion. I know what I need to do.

I have a an All-O-Matic SL 90 automatic gate opener that has two 12V 7Ah AGM internal backup batteries in series for 24V. These are for if there is a power outage, since this unit is normally supposed to be connected to regular household AC. It does not have solar panel connections built in. Could I hookup a solar panel to a charge controller and then the controller to the internal batteries to constantly keep the batteries charged and just run off the internal batteries?
