A motorised screen without the inconvenience of installing a traditional system

The advantage of Somfy’s solar-powered motorised shade screens is that the only power source they need is daylight! Since there is no need to connect this system to the electrical grid, it’s the ideal option for renovation work or replacing worn out equipment.

No damage to your walls during the installation, and no need to connect it to the electrical grid.

The raising and lowering of the self-powered vertical window screen depends solely on the screen’s battery, which drives the motor. The only power source it needs is the photovoltaic panel on the box that houses the screen!

When installing an outdoor solar screen that uses natural light as its independent power source, there is no connection to the 230V powered, unlike with conventional motorised vertical screens. Moreover, its installation is handled by a professional.

Another advantage is that the installation is very easy to plan because the installer only needs access to the exterior of your home. You don’t even need to be there for the installation! All the more reason to opt for this motorised system when you decide to do some renovation work.

All the advantages of a conventional electrical screen and more!

How does the retractable shade screen work? Even when facing north, the photovoltaic panel on the box that houses the screen converts daylight into electricity. That electricity is stored in the battery, which powers the motor. And it doesn’t need to be a sunny day, all it needs is daylight. On days with bad weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.), the battery uses its stored energy. And don’t worry if the bad weather lasts: the battery can store enough energy to keep going for at least 30 days! No fear of power cuts either!

And here’s a little tip for optimal convenience: programme your vertical screens to raise and lower automatically! A practical solution, not to mention that the eco-friendly design of the Somfy self-powered motorised system for outdoor solar screens aims to reduce its environmental impact throughout the life cycles of its components (motor, photovoltaic panel, and battery).

When you decide to get some renovation or construction work done, opt for vertical window screens that use daylight as their independent power source and get a high-performance system that’s easy to install!
