How does a solar-powered screen work*

  • The solar panel captures daylight and converts it into electrical energy, regardless of the strength of the sunlight. So even in cloudy weather.
  • This energy is stored in the battery, which can hold enough energy to run the solution for at least 30 days without any kind of light.
  • The battery provides enough energy to the motor to work as efficiently as possible. In the unlikely event that the battery is almost empty, the product will give a notification on your smartphone.
  • The battery is incorporated into the end product and is therefore not visible.

 

 

* The operation of a solar window roller shutter motor works basically identical.
