The best solar roller shutters
Solar roller shutters are an increasingly popular option for modern homes. They are energy efficient and easy to use, making them ideal for homeowners concerned about their energy consumption. In this article, we will present the best solar roller shutters available on the market.
Top 3 for shutters powered by solar energy
- Solar from Bubendorff
- Solar shutter with Somfy motorization
- roof shutter
Thanks to the photovoltaic panel located on the roller shutter box, the cells generate electricity. This energy is stored in a battery, which ensures the operation of the roller shutter, that is to say the raising/lowering. The movement is ensured by a remote control or more sophisticated systems (clock or control from your smartphone).
Even in areas with little sunlight, the stored energy is enough to move all of the blades. Here is an example from Somfy, with the RTS communication protocol.
For roller shutters that are too little exposed to light, there are offset panels to seek the sun in a more favorable location.
