Motorising roller shutters: what does it cost?

Dietmar Heiken

A-OK AM45 mechanical tubular motor for roller shutters and awnings

Updated: 07.11.2026

In brief: Die Kosten für einen elektrischen Rollladen setzen sich aus Motor, Zubehör und Einbau zusammen. Ein Rohrmotor kostet bei A-OK zwischen 65 € (mechanisch) und 235 € netto (Akku-Solar). Dazu kommen Schalter oder Sender und – bei 230-V-Motoren – die Arbeit einer Elektrofachkraft.

Motor prices compared

Motor Operation Net price
A-OK AM45 mechanical 15–50 Nm Wall switch from 65 €
A-OK AM35 6/10 Nm Switch or radio from €69
A-OK AM45 radio 6–30 Nm Handsender, Hinderniserkennung from €100
A-OK AM45E 30–50 Nm with emergency hand crank from €125
A-OK AM45 battery-solar 10/20 Nm Radio, no cable from €235

Further cost items

  • Adapters and brackets: to suit the shaft, often included or inexpensive to add.
  • Switch or transmitter: blind switch for cable motors, hand transmitter for radio motors.
  • Cable to the window: the biggest difference – if there is no power at the window, it gets costly. A battery-solar motor can then be cheaper overall.
  • Qualified electrician: for the 230 V connection; costs depend on region and effort.

Money-saving tips

  • Convert several roller shutters at once – one appointment for the electrician.
  • Do the mechanical installation yourself (see Replacing a roller shutter motor), and only have the connection done.
  • Do not oversize the torque – the right motor is cheaper and quieter.
