boxmotorizedpatio

Overview
The Félicia 2.0 Sunpowered is a solar cassette awning that combines the compact, curved aluminium cassette of the Félicia 2.0 with an autonomous solar drive. It protects the fabric and arms when retracted and simplifies installation by using a photovoltaic panel and integrated rechargeable battery to power the motor.

Key benefits

• Compact cassette solar awning offering full protection of fabric and articulated arms.
• Autonomous solar motorisation requiring no electrical connection.
• Rounded, discreet design that integrates easily with facades.

Green aspects

• Solar energy powers the motor for an autonomous product with no electrical works required.
• Designed to better regulate shade, daylight and solar gain for thermal comfort.
• Aluminium frame: recyclable and durable material.

Detailed description
With its fully formed aluminium cassette, the Félicia 2.0 protects the fabric and articulated arms when the awning is closed, reducing exposure to dirt, dust and UV. In the Sunpowered version the motor is fed by a photovoltaic panel that charges an internal battery, enabling operation without connection to the mains and without façade cabling.

Installation and use
The solar drive enables quick and clean installation without intervention on the electrical system. The solar panel can be positioned to optimise energy capture and may be remotely mounted depending on façade configuration. The awning remains operational in case of power cut. Tilt is adjustable up to 40° on wall fitting and 58° on ceiling fitting. Control is via a compact handheld transmitter with a wall holder.

Reliability and durability
The motor includes electronic limits for precise setting of open and closed positions. An anti-tension function protects the fabric during manoeuvres. The motor system has been tested up to 10,000 cycles. The integrated battery provides autonomy of up to 40 cycles without recharge and is accessible for simplified maintenance.

Comfort and options
An optional wind motion sensor, discreetly fitted in the front bar, can trigger automatic retraction in gusts. The Modul’Ombre® valance is available to shield low-angle sun in the evening.
