Solar roller shutters are modern roller shutters with an integrated solar panel and battery. They use solar energy to operate the roller shutter drive. This makes them particularly efficient and independent. The solar energy generated is stored in the battery - so the roller shutters work reliably even in bad weather, at night or in the event of a power failure.

Advantages for new builds and renovations

As no wiring is required, solar roller shutters can be installed quickly and easily - ideal for retrofitting or installation in new buildings. There is no need for a connection to the electricity grid, which saves costs and simplifies installation.


The heroal solar roller shutter at a glance

The battery and the solar panel are the central components of a solar roller shutter. However, the control system, the roller shutter box and the roller shutter slats also play an important role.

Solar panel and battery

The compact, powerful solar panel continuously supplies energy to operate the roller shutter. A south-facing position is ideal, but east or west-facing positions are also possible. The integrated rechargeable battery ensures reliable operation - even in weak solar radiation. It provides sufficient energy for up to 100 additional movement cycles. If required, the battery can be charged externally.

Motor

The material aluminium is the basis of heroal security doors. It is robust, dimensionally stable and resistance level - and contributes significantly to the fact that the doors meet the highest security requirements and at the same time offer a modern design. In order to make an active contribution to climate protection, heroal relies on CO2-reduced and recycled aluminium.

Control system

The roller shutter systems can be controlled with solar drives via radio or wall buttons as well as via Smart Home Systems.

Roller shutter box

The solar motor is located in the compact and robust heroal fascia box. The front box is available in roll-formed and extruded versions. The latter meets higher stability and security requirements. The large selection of colors offers maximum design freedom for your home.

Roller shutter slats made of aluminium

A wide selection of high-quality roller shutter slats is available for the heroal solar roller shutter. Made of sturdy aluminum alloy, they are ideal even for large window areas - up to 3.5 m in width and 3.5 m in height. Whether for new builds or retrofitting: the diverse range offers the right solution for every installation situation - durable, attractive and functional.

Insect screen

The heroal IS insect screen can optionally be integrated into the roller shutter box in combination with the Kaiser Nienhaus motor. This is possible because the solar module is compactly installed in the roller shutter box and the roller shutter has a small barrel diameter.

Components of the solar drive

Motor

The heroal solar roller shutters are equipped with high-quality solar motors from Kaiser Nienhaus or Somfy. They operate particularly quietly, have a frost protection function and can be controlled flexibly - by switch, remote control, app or voice command.

Battery

The integrated rechargeable battery ensures reliable operation - even in weak solar radiation. It provides sufficient energy for up to 100 additional movement cycles. If required, the battery can be charged externally.

Solar panel

The compact, powerful solar panel continuously supplies energy to operate the roller shutter. A south-facing orientation is ideal, but east or west exposures are also possible.
