No mains present... alternatives...?

[Ninety1]

Power is required for a roller shutter garage door...however were the garage is located, there is no means of getting 240v power

What is the alternatives...?

The chain provided for manual override is the obvious one.
Who fits an electric door where there's no chance of power for it?

A few companies install solar / battery systems??

A solar panel, battery and inverter?

I was going to suggest mind over matter but it might take longer?.

There are also alternative types of door, many don’t require any electricity at all.
hinges etc. Can be used.

p.s. Have had a beer or two, don’t take me too seriously.

A couple of beers is always good advice!

What would a typical setup look like...?

Solar panel → charge controller → battery → inverter → garage door.

With a few fuses and a think about earthing, and if it is required. You'd need to do a bit of reading up on it. These guys are good for advice and parts Bimble Solar - https://www.bimblesolar.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwhMmEBhBwEiwAXwFoEYm-RaC3yE6cl_qM4CHYKflbGEwMrMV1qs1CclwQPhTpbvvjbldRUxoCp6MQAvD_BwE

How often is this door to be opened and shut? Not often, then it'll make more sense to just work it manually. Too often, and the solar will struggle to keep up.

Put an appliance inlet on the outside of the garage and plug a generator onto it when you need to operate the door

 

[MJPD29]

Someone hasn't planned ahead here. A normal garage door would have been the job. Solar won't be able to keep up with constant opening and closing unless you spend a fortune batteries etc. Generator is useless if you have to start it to use the door.

 

[DPG]

Is the door already fitted?

A roller shutter door, with a decent flywheel, operated by an endless chain, will open and shut with no effort and as fast as an electric door.
The only advantage that I've found with electric ones, is that you can push the remote fob from fifty yards away, and the door's fully open by the time you reach it.

We had three of those around 15' high and 12'wide, never a bit of trouble in over 20years , and still in good order when the building was sold.
