Solar vertical awnings combine modern sun protection with integrated solar technology. ROMA’s exterior vertical awnings —also known as Textile Screens—provide effective glare protection, a comfortable living environment, and greater privacy. When combined with a solar-powered drive, you can enjoy these benefits without the need for complicated wiring on your sun protection system.
The solar panel is mounted on the facade or directly on the cassette, where it generates energy and stores it in a rechargeable battery that reliably powers the motor even on cloudy days. The result is a convenient electric vertical awning that’s ideal for new construction as well as for retrofitting existing buildings.

Vertical awnings with solar drive are not dependent on constant sunshine to function reliably. The powerful photovoltaic module in the upper section of the sun shading system converts sunlight into electrical energy. The energy generated is then stored in a battery in the box so that the solar sun shading system opens and closes reliably even on cloudy days and in diffuse light.
As with conventional electric systems with a power connection, the control is operated by an electric motor. The solar energy stored in the battery operates this motor all year round, regardless of the weather.
Anyone who chooses a solar-powered vertical awning should be able to rely on its functionality at all times. Let one of our ROMA authorized dealers personally advise you on the practical benefits of a solar-powered vertical awning.
The heart of a vertical awning is the opaque or transparent curtain in front of the window. ROMA offers various Textile Screens with different degrees of transparency. Depending on the design, they provide
Effective glare protection
Reduction of solar radiation
Protection from unwanted glances
Visibility to the outside
Textile Screens are weatherproof, durable and suitable for large window areas. Thanks to the taut guidance of the curtain and modern ROMA Zip technology, it is also particularly weatherproof and wind-resistant up to 120 km/h.

An integrated solar panel generates electricity from sunlight and stores it in a rechargeable battery. The battery powers the motor of the vertical awning without any connection to the power grid.
With a solar-powered drive, vertical awnings can be operated electrically without a conventional power supply. This means they do not require an electrical connection for the drive and, at the same time, provide optimal protection against glare and prying eyes while still allowing a clear view to the outside.
Yes, modern ROMA vertical awnings work reliably even in diffuse light. The battery stores enough energy to last several days without direct sunlight.
Yes, many systems can be connected to Smart Home controls. This allows Textile Screens to be controlled fully automatically or solar shading to be operated via an app while on the move.
