6. Product in Use

6.1 Normal Operation

After commissioning, the battery is trickle-charged by electrical energy generated by the solar panel. The energy is stored in the high capacity NiMH
battery (acting like a reservoir) and the system provides uninterrupted service through many climatic seasons. It is normal for the battery to gain more
energy in summer as compared to winter – the Solar Panel converts the intensity of light to energy upon availability.

6.2 Excessive Energy Use

Caution! If daily motor activations exceed recommended cycles per day as stated in the Solar Pack Performance Chart, the solar panel will not
be able to "replenish" the battery as designed.
If the motorized shade does not operate due to an excessively diminished battery, the battery may require a full recharge by a Somfy Service provider.
If the battery no longer provides adequate power to operate your motor, a freshly charged replacement battery & tube assembly may be ordered from
your Somfy dealer (REF#9015624) and there is no need to replace any other Solar Pack components.
