Independent solar power for outdoor blinds
Solar panels are no longer intended only for solar power plants, large companies or the roofs of family houses. Today, every outdoor blind, screen roller blind and, recently, even an exterior roller blind can have a small solar panel.

Zero energy consumption

Shading technology with external solar power is a unique and fully automated roller shutter that is wirelessly controlled and has zero electricity consumption. This roller shutter works on the principle of the so-called photovoltaic effect - i.e. the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy. This is the most ecological and energy-efficient drive solution for roller shutters. The drive is powered by a long-life battery recharged by a solar panel that works in all weather conditions. So you don't have to worry that the product will stop working when the sun goes down. The panel supplies energy even when the sky is cloudy.

Use in an ever-increasing range of ISOTRA products

The use of solar panels for outdoor blinds is already a kind of standard. It can be used for all ISOTRA external blinds. The only limitation is the area up to 8 m2. Immediately after the blinds, screen blinds came into the picture, where two blinds are offered - ALFA-ZIP and HR8-ZIP. The novelty is the use of solar panels for outdoor blinds Vivera and Vivera Sectra! For blinds, the limitation is that they can only be used for a square box.

And this is where exterior roller shutters play a crucial role, as they can not only perform the function of shading, but also significantly increase protection against burglary.
