Solar roller shutter: front-mounted shutter with solar drive
Many building owners are wary of fitting their windows with motorised roller shutters. Above all when an older building is to be upgraded that way. Because laying the required cables is a demanding job that often even means tearing open tiles and wallpaper.
This problem is solved in a flash with solar-powered roller shutter systems from Alulux. Not only are you spared tiresome conversion work. At the same time you use renewable solar energy and make your property fit for the future. And since you will not spend a single cent on electricity costs for running the shutter motor in future, the investment is all the more worthwhile.
Installation
How are Alulux solar roller shutters installed?
Fit the panel
On every front-mounted shutter box a weatherproof solar panel is fitted from the outside, so that it is optimally exposed to the incoming sunlight. A quick-release fastening makes the simple connection to the matching shutter motor easy. A replacement panel can also be mounted with it at any time and completely without tools.
Retrofit it yourself
Since this is done quite simply on your own, a specialist is therefore not required. Happily, for you as the owner this means not having to budget any extra expenses for the installation. And a step-by-step upgrade of individual windows and balcony doors on the house is thus easily possible too.

Everything about the solar roller shutter
What advantages do our solar roller shutters bring?
On the one hand your home suffers no unwanted heat loss, as a power connection is no longer needed. This means routing cables through the house wall is completely eliminated. On the other hand you acquire an eco-friendly and at the same time intelligent drive solution whose drive is generated completely free of charge.
The solar kit, proven thousands of times over, also guarantees reliable operation over the years. This can take place completely independently of the weather conditions, because a built-in power battery stores enough energy for rainy days as well as dark nights. And mounting it on the Varimaxx front-mounted box is child's play too.
How does shading via solar power work?
The powerful solar panel sits directly on the aluminium box of the respective front-mounted shutter. From there the generated energy is fed into the connected shutter system or stored in the built-in battery. This is indispensable, since of course you want to operate your shutters completely flexibly, even in the middle of the night or during long spells of bad weather.
The independent solar system works on a 12-volt basis and is thus approved for private use. Thanks to the frontal mounting on the shutter box, the panel cannot be covered by snow or leaves and thereby continuously stores daylight. Even minimal solar radiation is already converted effectively.
If you have to operate the motor very often, or if dull autumn and winter weeks are not enough for the battery to charge sufficiently for once, a fast charger helps out. With it you bridge these rare cases, so that comfort in your own home never suffers. Your shutter drive can hardly be made more practical and economical.
What is the solar roller shutter controlled with?
You can control the solar technology for your windows with all radio systems of the Somfy brand, which can also be used for further Alulux product lines. This makes convenient shading of individual shutters or even the entire façade easier. The respective shutter motors are ready for use directly after the solar operation has been installed.
