Is it possible to motorise a roller shutter without construction work?

Whether renovating your home or replacing worn out equipment, choosing the right roller shutters brings various advantages. For example, solar roller shutters, which operate using daylight and solar power, do not require any connection to the electricity network.

No damaging the walls, no power supply!

The solar-powered shutter operates using a photovoltaic panel placed on the shutter box. It is this which powers the battery that operates the motor, and therefore the opening and closing of the shutter.

For the installation of a solar-powered window shutter, you can call a professional. There will be no connection to the electrical supply or to the control point as is the case with a conventional electrically powered roller shutter.

This solar power system, often preferred during renovation work, can be installed on any roller shutter, even on skylights. In addition, the installation can be done while you are away since the work is done on the outside, so it is easier to plan!

As efficient as an electric shutters

The photovoltaic panel, which transforms daylight into electricity, is attached to the casing of the shutter (even facing north!). The electricity is then stored in a battery that will power the motor. A solar motor works day and night, and in all weathers: sunny or not, only light is needed. For more cloudy days (fog, rain, snow, etc.), the energy stored in the battery will take over. It has an autonomy of 45 days minimum, enough for peace of mind in the event of a power failure, or if the bad weather were to last!

Also, with the programming of the automatic closing and / or opening of your window shutters, you will be able to optimise your home's insulation, save energy, and increase security. Finally, also note that the Somfy solar-powered motorised roller shutter system is eco-designed. It thus aims to reduce the environmental impact of the products (motor, panel and battery) throughout their life cycle.

Investing in solar energy system during renovation or construction work is therefore the guarantee of a high-performance system that is easy to install.
