Automating Roller Shutters: The most important things in a nutshell
Automatic Roller Shutters control saves heating and cooling costs by optimizing the use of daylight and sun protection.
Roller Shutters can also be easilyretrofitted with automation in existing buildings - e.g. with a solar drive.
Electric Roller Shutters can be opened and closedautomatically by time control, app or weather sensor.
The combination with Smart Home systems increases living comfort and security.
Automating Roller Shutters: What advantages does it offer?
Automated Roller Shutters react to the sun, time or temperature and actively contribute to saving energy. In summer, they close when there is intense sunlight and keep the heat out. In winter, they lower at dusk to prevent heat loss.
The result: lower heating and cooling costs, a pleasant indoor climate and greater living comfort. Especially in combination with other measures such as external sun protection, a well thought-out energy concept is created.
Retrofitting made easy: retrofitting automated Roller Shutters
Even in existing buildings, Roller Shutters can be retrofitted with automation —without major renovations. Solar-powered Roller Shutters offer a particularly convenient solution. They operate entirely without an electrical connection and are easy to install—ideal for hard-to-reach windows or delicate building structures.

Yes, even existing manual Roller Shutters can be easily retrofitted—for example, with an electric or solar-powered motor. This makes operation much more convenient and allows for automation, so that the Roller Shutters close at dusk, for example, and reduce heat loss.
How does a solar-powered Roller Shutters work?
With a solar-powered Roller Shutters, an integrated solar panel generates electricity from sunlight, which is stored in a battery. This reliably powers the roller shutter motor - even in cloudy weather or in winter, as modern systems are optimized for low energy requirements.
What are the benefits of automating Roller Shutters in terms of energy consumption?
Automatic Roller Shutters close at the optimum time when it is hot or cold, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs. Targeted control keeps the room temperature stable and avoids wasting energy.
What control options are there for electric Roller Shutters?
Electric Roller Shutters can be controlled by wall switch, radio remote control, app or as part of a Smart Home system. Time or weather-dependent automatic systems that automatically adjust the sun protection are particularly popular.
Are automated Roller Shutters useful for Smart Home systems?
Yes, automated Roller Shutters are an ideal addition to any Smart Home. They can be linked to light sensors, temperature sensors, and other components —for maximum comfort, enhanced security, and automatic protection against heat and cold.
