Sun shading systems with solar drives are becoming increasingly relevant. Not only due to their sustainability – as an autonomous solution without costly electrical installation, solar drives are often the answer, particularly for renovation projects. By contrast to other drive types, solar drives are powered by sunlight. To optimally use this resource and ensure year-round functionality, read our tips on where the solar panel should be placed.

The incidence range and compass direction have a major impact on charging efficiency. The sun incidence angle must not fall below 60°. To ensure this, make sure to consider the following parameters:

South, west, south-west, south-east and east facing (ideal state)

  • As a rule of thumb, the sky should always be directly visible from the viewpoint of the solar panel.
  • The panel can also be installed externally on a facade if necessary in the case of roller shutters.

North, north-west and north-east facing

  • The solar panel must have an unhindered view of the sky in all directions – without any obstacles such as shadows cast by trees or parts of the facade.

We recommend externally mounting the solar panel in the presence of roller shutters in the following scenarios. The solar panel can be installed either above or below a window, or on projecting edges. Any extension cables required will be provided as accessories.

Carefully selecting and optimising the installation location allows the SolarKit to function all year round. The solar drive is optionally available with a charging function by means of a power supply unit.

The following installation locations limit the performance of the SolarKit, which requires direct strong to complete UV radiation exposure:

Note:When attaching the SolarKit to permanent glazing, external access for the power connection may not be possible under certain circumstances depending on the on-site situation.
