Window Treatment Solar Sensors

By Jerry Stewart

Window Treatment Solar SensorsAs an add-on to your Hunter Douglas Platinum window treatment motorization system, check out solar sensors! In addition to all the benefits you’ll enjoy with your motorization system, solar sensors allow you to have your window treatments open and close based on the amount of sunlight and heat entering your home through your windows. This is a great way to make sure your blinds and shades are helping to keep dangerous UV rays from damaging your flooring, drapery, furniture and more, even when you’re not home. With the bright sun we get here in the Lake Ozark area, window treatment solar sensors are a great bonus for any motorization system.

Customize Your Solar Sensor Settings

During the hottest part of the day, the battery-powered sensor detects the amount of solar energy entering the home through the window and sends out a wireless signal that automatically opens or closes window treatment to maximize energy efficiency in the room.  One sensor unit can control a single shade or multiple shades in a room. For optimal energy savings, multiple sensors can be installed in windows facing different directions of the home to operate specific groups of shades at proper times.

The sensor features two unique modes based on the season.

Solar Sensors – Summer Mode

  • Lowers/closes shades during the hottest hours of the day.
  • Reduces the amount of solar heat (ultraviolet rays) entering the home by lowering the shade(s), keeping the room cooler in the hot summer months.
  • Activates shade operation when solar energy at the window reaches the set thermal threshold level.
  • Retains the cool air in a room by lowering the shade(s), saving on cooling costs in the summer.

Solar Sensors – Winter Mode

  • Raises/opens shades during the warmest times of the day.
  • Closes shades automatically when the temperature drops outside, keeping the warm air inside.
  • Allows for solar heat from the sun to enter a room through the window and warm the room in the cold winter months, saving on heating costs.
  • Activates shade operation when solar energy at the window reaches the set thermal threshold level.
