Solar and Magnetic Charging

With our magnetic and solar charging options, the hassle of charging goes out the window!

The Solar Advantage

Benefits of solar panel recharging—energy efficient innovation

• Extends battery life, with fewer recharges needed. May even eliminate the need for recharging on applications with good solar exposure
• Ideal for difficult-to-access windows and larger applications
• Great cost trade-off alternative to retrofit wired applications with high front-end electrical work
• Discreet low-profile solar panel is easy to conceal and preserves the design of the window
• Available for ALL Insolroll Battery Motors.

Application locations

• Solar panel reduces the need for manual re-charge by solar trickle charge.
• The sunniest windows may provide a totally GREEN solar power source.
• For less sunny exposures such as North-facing windows, motor may require occasional supplemental charging
• Suitable for most window types, including single pane, double pane, and energy-saving glass

The Solar Panel Kit includes

Mounting at the window

Magnetic Charging

Magnetic systems come with: 8″ Magnetic Charging Port AND 33″ Rigid Magnetic Extension Cable.

8″ Magnetic Charging Port

• Plugs into motor charging port OR external battery pack
• Must be secured with cable clip or tie (included with order)
• One required per shade for magnetic systems

33″ Rigid Magnetic Extension Cable

• Can be coiled or extended to full 33″ length
• Easily extends the user’s reach to the 8″ magnetic charging port
• One required per order for magnetic systems

Brackets for Battery Shades

Brackets for our battery shades are made to reduce noise and smooth operation for all available sizes

Insolroll Small Motor Bracket (SMB) System

Like all our small motor products, Insolroll battery motors use our new SMB hardware to improve finish level, reduce mechanical noise, and ensure smooth operation with spring idler/bearing system.

Used with the following motors*

• BAT-L2
• BAT-L1
• BAT-X1
• BAT-R
• IQM-DCR

*Note that BAT-L3 uses standard larger brackets

Quiet Heavy Duty Idler further reduces operational noise

• Lightweight nylon material for high mechanical strength
• High durability for longer life and sound reduction
• Impact, wear, and fatigue-resistant
• Provides electrical insulation

*Exposed roller brackets and fascia brackets have an idler bearing for smooth operation and matching bracket covers

Insolroll Starhead Bracket System

Insolroll offers designer-grade brackets and end caps to create a simple, unified and finished appearance.

Used with the following motors*

• BAT-L3
• IQM-AC 
• IQM-ACR

Top Treatment Options

For applications that call for a more finished appearance, roller and operator cover systems are usually specified. Insolroll has several systems for masking these components.

Fascia

Available in 3″ and 4″, our fascia system protects fabric when it is retracted and conceals the roller for a more clean-lined appearance than the exposed roller option. Fascia creates architectural detail, and can either blend in or stand out in your design scheme. Learn more here.

Cassette 

Available in 3″ and 4″, our cassette option both protects and conceals the fabric roller. The cassette also has an option to be fabric-wrapped. Learn more here.

Peak Valance 

Our Peak Valance is available in 4″ or 4 3/4″. It is also available painted or fabric-wrapped. Learn more here.

6″ Valance

Our 6″ valance both protects and conceals the fabric roller. Like our fascia systems, this valance provides a clean-lined appearance and is ideal for dual shade applications. Learn more here.
