Convenience and efficiency

You can control your solar-powered sun shading in various ways, such as with a remote control or wall switch, but also remotely with your smartphone using the TaHoma® app or with your voice assistant.

In combination with sensors, you can program your sun shading to respond to external conditions. For example, when the indoor temperature exceeds 25°C in the summer, your sun shading will automatically lower. During the winter sun, you can raise the sun shading to let in warmth and close it when the sun sets to retain the heat in the evening.

Why motorise a screen with a Solar-powered motor?

How Solar-powered sun shading works

Solar-powered sun shading is driven by an integrated electric motor.

  • The motor is powered by the solar panel. The solar panel captures light and converts it into electric energy, regardless of the sunlight's intensity.
  • The generated energy is stored in the battery.
  • Direct sunlight is not necessary for the solar panel to generate energy. Natural daylight is sufficient to charge the battery.
