Somfy has announced the launch of the Li-ion Solar Panel, filling the need for a greener alternative to power wirefree motorized window shades and blinds. The innovative solar charging solution harnesses renewable solar energy to power motorized window coverings in a cost-effective way that also reduces end-user maintenance.
