The solar panel does not need direct sun to recharge the battery. No need full sunlight to operate, powered by daylight.
Except if the solar panel is completely shadowed, the solar panel will get enough energy to recharge the battery. To be 100% sure of the performance of the system, use the Somfy Solar App.
Check with the Somfy Solar App that a Solar solution can be installed.
No need to drill holes in the walls to pass cables, no electrical supply is needed.
We insure at least 30 days with 2 up and down movements per day without energy supply in complete dark conditions whatever the torque with a Somfy new battery.
You will get a notification on your smartphone (via TaHoma switch) and NINA in case the battery is low.
Powered by natural ambient daylight: no need for full sunlight to operate. Battery autonomy: 30 days in total darkness based 2 cycles per day.
The lifespan of the solar panel is over 20 years and the battery 8 years. Solar panel, motor and battery are guaranteed 7 years.
The Sunea 40 Solar io is compatible with TaHoma switch home automation box, the connected Somfy Solution.
All the terrace offer is now available in io-homecontrol.
The points to check before selecting a motorised system: 1. What type of external screens do you prefer? Two options: choose between a standard external screen or a Zip screen. Zip screens offer real advantages: a perfectly tight fabric, greater wind resistance and total darkness. 2. What is the angle of your wall? Motorised systems for external screens can only be installed on perfectly straight walls ( 180° angle). 3. What quality of fabric do you need? Certain criteria will determine which product is right for you: UV and weather resistance, easy maintenance, etc.
Several types of external screens exist: 1. Screens with cassette. The sealed cassette protects the fabric from bad weather and guarantees that your equipment lasts longer. 2. Traditional screens. There are two types of screen systems: a rail system that guides the fabric along rails, or a cable system that guides its travel freely. For these screens, we recommend you use the Sunea io motorised system. 3. Zip screens. The fabric is held in place in the side channels thanks to a half-zip system. For these screens, we recommend you use the Maestria 50+ io motorised system.
