Why the popularity of solar-powered sun shading is rocketing

The demand for solar panels has been rising for years. And given the rising gas prices, solar energy is here to stay. Sun shading manufacturers too have been relying more often on solar energy, as they are introducing sun shading systems with solar panels to the market. And solar-powered sun shading is gaining in popularity. But why? And what are the most important benefits of sun shading with solar panels? We’ll explain you everything in this blog article.

Solar motor

The so-called solar motor is the thriving force behind solar-powered sun shading solutions. It has a motor, battery and a solar panel. The solar panel, attached to the case of the sun shading system, absorbs the sun rays and transforms them into solar energy. the battery stores the energy, so that you can operate your wireless sun shading product plenty of times.

Theoretically, a full battery can open and close the awning fabric dozens of times. However, as the solar panel is continuously exposed to daylight, you won’t have to worry about your battery running low. Next to that, you’ll receive a 3-year warranty on the solar motor with solar panel.
