    • Validate the correct positioning of the sensor BEFORE ordering

    There is an installation constraint to guarantee proper recharging of the engine battery using the photovoltaic sensor .

    The positioning of the aluminum box in the depth of the panel is therefore very important.

    Make sure the solar sensor sees the sky at an angle of 45 degrees.

    *To simplify the reasoning, the sensor must be able to receive direct lighting. It must not be obscured by any object, including glazing or shutters.

    If you cannot respect this rule, we invite you to order a solar roller shutter with a remote sensor. Here are the sizes of the solar capetur, also called photovolatic wall.

    This photovoltaic sensor . is sold as a spare part if necessary.

    • How to take shutter measurements solar?

      • Finished panel dimensions of the solar shutter

    Write down on a sheet of paper the smallest dimension in width and height of your finished painting (with the cladding or coating included). Do not deduct anything from these dimensions, we will do it in the configurator!

    If your wall is not finished, ask your facade specialist the finished thickness he plans to use to finish the paintings in your window. Generally 15mm of coating in total.

    ---------> For the height it's quite simple , you always take the smallest between the left and right dimensions and then enter it into the configurator.

    ---------> For the width, if the table is parallel, report in the configurator, otherwise do like this:

    --> If the bottom width is 5mm smaller than the top , note this dimension in the configurator,

    --> If the bottom width is < or = to the top dimension of only 5mm , then take the top dimension as a reference because with the clearance of the slides, the installation will be perfect.

    --> If the bottom width = the top dimension, take the top dimension and note it in the configurator, as width

    --> If the bottom width is > or = the top dimension of only 5mm , then take the top dimension as a reference. The manufacturing dimension of the calculator will then be equal to the dimension in the bottom table, and with the clearance of the slides, the installation will be perfect.

    --> If the bottom width is 5mm larger than the top , then still take the top dimension as a reference. You will put shims behind the scenes, but at least the box will be perfectly installed, and seen from a distance it will be clean!

    Measuring Bubendorff shutters

      • Manufacturing dimensions in width of the solar shutter:

    Our shutter configurator will remove 5 mm (manufacturer's recommendation) from each side for you. This allows for 5mm of clearance between your trunk and the lintel, to facilitate installation.

    • Configure and order the solar roller shutter in just a few clicks?

      • Online solar shutter configurator Bubendorff

    2/ Delivery by appointment of your solar shutter

      • Procedure for receiving the shutter and the slides

        • Shutter delivered in two separate packages


      --> The first box , the largest, 25cm x 33cm x (Width +40cm), includes the shutter, that is to say the aluminum box in which your insulated aluminum apron is rolled up, and on which the photovoltaic sensor is fixed .

      --> The second box , much thinner, 10cm x 10cm, contains the aluminum slides which self-support the shutter, as well as the final slat which you will mount on the apron, by simply sliding it into the last slat of the apron. In the video dating from 2013, which is offered to you just after, this step is not explained.

        • Reservations to note on the vouchertrue


      On the day of delivery, it is important to check the packages carefully. A package with an impact does not justify refusal and above all it does not mean that the product is damaged.

      We advise you to keep the packages, but to put reservations on the delivery note. It is necessary to clearly specify the nature of the damaged goods : “Roller shutter unusable” for example.

      For our Lacentrale-eco.com customers, you will receive an email to assist you during this reception.

      3/ Installation of your Bubendorff solar shutter

      To make your life easier, watch our installation video to quickly and efficiently install your Bubendorff solar autonomous roller shutter.

      • The steps for installing your solar roller shutter

        • Mounting the legs on the box

      The legs allow the slides and the box to be joined together.

        • Drilling holes in the board

      We advise you to simulate the location of the slides, to locate, drill and install the dowels which will receive your fixing screws.

      Be careful to keep the sensor flush with the facade, or set back a maximum of 5cm.

      Screws and wall plugs are not included, as this depends on your wall mount. Take 6mm it will work very well.

      As the roller shutter is self-supporting on its slides, the screws do not carry the weight of the roller shutter... EXCEPT in an installation No. 4, in surface-mounted installation therefore on the facade! But often you can still lean your nose against the window sill.

        • Mounting the slides on the legs

      Fit the slides into the legs. ATTENTION the backstage has a top and a bottom! The top is beveled on the inside.

        • Installing the shutter in front of the window

      Present the shutter in the tunnel, at the location of the slides as previously planned.

        • Fixing the shutter in the table

      Screw the 2 or 3 screws into the pre-holes provided for this purpose. And here the shutter is installed!

      4/ Commissioning of the solar roller shutter

      • Commissioning your SOLAR shutter

      To activate your shutter, you must first removetransport ” mode.

      The transport mode is a safety feature that prevents it from turning on in the box if you accidentally take the remote control and press a button when unpacking.

      remove transport mode rolling shutter Bubendordd

      Once transport mode is deactivated, follow the installation instructions quietly. You will find documentation by type of engine in your packages.

      There you are, you are a roller shutter pro!

      • Instructions and information for the solar ID+ shutter

      If you have ordered several roller shutters, a single instruction sheet will be provided to you in one of the boxes.
      IIt is therefore important to open all boxes upon receipt to find this notice and the other documents provided by Bubendorff.

      • How soon should I install my autonomous roller shutter?

      We advise you to install within the month following receipt of your roller shutter.

      If you don't have time, it is important to open the box and leave the sensor in the light to allow the motor battery to recharge and not dry out.

      Indeed, if you leave your solar roller shutter box in its box for several months, the battery may "dry out" and no longer be operational. This is a very important point to respect.

      The batteries for Bubendorff solar roller shutters were developed in partnership with INES and the CEA (Atomic Energy Center). The solar battery has sufficient capacity to do around thirty cycles without recharging. Which gives it and gives it a long lifespan given its capacity.

      To conclude :

      The first roller shutters tested at Lacentrale-eco.com were installed in 2013 , due north in the Drôme, in the middle of the mountains. These are the ones in the video. To this day, they still work as well and their opening and closing speed has not changed.

      As you will have understood, installing a Bubendorff solar roller shutter is very accessible and very simple . We are at your side to succeed together at all stages of your project

      With Lacentrale-eco, you can order in complete security and build your sustainable home. Once your roller shutters have been manufactured at Bubendorff, they will be sent to our premises. We will call you back to deliver, and thus be present until the end.

      Good installation !
