If there is power at the window anyway, a 230 V motor such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/a-ok-am45-tubular-motor-mechanical\/\">AM45 mechanical<\/a> (from \u20ac65) or the <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/a-ok-am45-radio-tubular-motor\/\">AM45 radio<\/a> (from \u20ac100) is cheaper.<\/p>\n<h2>Limits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The panel needs daylight; on the north side it charges more slowly.<\/li>\n<li>20 Nm is not enough for very heavy roller shutters or roller doors \u2013 a 230 V motor is then required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Does an electrician need to connect the solar motor?<\/h3>\n<p>No, there is no mains connection. Motor and panel are only installed mechanically and connected to each other.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens when the battery is empty?<\/h3>\n<p>The roller shutter stops until the panel has recharged the battery.<\/p>\n<p>Calculate the torque yourself: <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/roller-shutter-motor-calculator\/\">Roller shutter motor calculator<\/a>.
