Creative Solutions for Out-of-Reach Windows

Intro

Ready to elevate your high windows game? In this blog, we explore the brilliant solution of solar-powered shades. No more ladders or hassle—just smooth, easy, eco-friendly living. Join us as we dive into the installation process and the perks of solar-powered shades!

Do you need a solar panel?

Meet our client: a stunning lake-view home with a two-story high ceiling. The living room features 7 gigantic windows, with the highest window sitting 21 feet above the floor—tough for anyone to reach!
Without pre-wiring for our plug-in motors, the best solution is our battery-powered motor with a solar panel. No more climbing ladders to recharge—just let the sun do its job! We installed a sleek, small solar panel above the left window, connected to the motor via USB-C, expertly hidden by our pro installers.

  • Choose the perfect spot on your window—same side as the motor works best!
  • Peel off the sticky tape cover and stick the panel on the window.
  • Connect the solar panel to the motor and hide the cable. (Pro tip: use zip ties to keep it neat.)
The right-side shade? Same easy-peasy method, with solar panels at each motor's corner.
