Hunter Douglas Unveils Ultra-Efficient Solar Charger Kit
New York, NY – Sept. 3, 2024 – Hunter Douglas, a leading manufacturer and marketer of custom window treatments, will debut its Solar Charger Kit at CEDIA Expo 2024. Distinguished by its uniquely efficient low-light harvesting capabilities, the Solar Charger offers versatile and reliable charging for PowerView Automation shades.
Hunter Douglas engineered its Solar Charger to deliver dependable performance even in suboptimal lighting conditions. The charger works exceptionally well even in low-light, north-facing windows—meaning most rechargeable PowerView shades connected to a Solar Charger will not require manual recharging. This product offers significant convenience for users, especially those with multiple rechargeable shades, installations in second homes, or hard-to-reach windows.
“Hunter Douglas is dedicated to creating solutions that blend convenience, comfort and sustainable design. The Solar Charger Kit embodies these principles by bringing waste-free and hassle-free solar charging to Powerview shades—even in spaces with limited sunlight,” said Scott Stephenson, senior director of product, global motorization at Hunter Douglas. “The charger will enhance the performance and longevity of our shades while significantly reducing maintenance requirements, making it nearly effortless to achieve reliable, eco-friendly shade automation.”
The Solar Charger Kit is compatible with PowerView Automation rechargeable battery wands and is available with an adapter for compatibility with internal rechargeable battery shades. It is easy to integrate and offers multiple out-of-the-box mounting options. These include direct-to-glass mounts for optimal solar harvesting, snap-on brackets for easy installation, and window jamb mounts with easy removal. The charger is available in black or white interior-facing colors to complement its surrounding aesthetics.
The Solar Charger Kit is the latest addition to a growing portfolio of sustainable shade solutions from Hunter Douglas. Visit booth 3543 at CEDIA Expo 2024 to see the product in action, and learn more about the Solar Charging Kit at www.hunterdouglas.com/smart-automation.
