What is a Solar Awning?

A solar window awning is a motorized window awning that draws its power from a battery charged by the sun rather than needing to be hardwired to the building’s electricity.  The solar awning from Sol-Lux includes some additional technological advancements that are focused on energy efficiency for the building they are installed on and convenience for the user through automation. A solar awning can be utilized in the same way as any standard awning on a residential or commercial property, but the primary difference revolves around convenience, durability, and being able to react to the elements at a moment’s notice.
