Maximize Energy Efficiency with Hunter Douglas Solar Energy Sensors

By Kathie Memoli

solar sensorWouldn’t it be nice to be away or at work and know that your window treatments are maximizing the energy efficiency in your home? With Hunter Douglas Platinum™ solar energy sensors, you can harness the warmth of the sun or keep it at bay, even when you’re not home. Especially during the hot months here in the Naples FL area, saving money on and cooling costs is on everyone’s minds.

How Does the Solar Sensor Control Window Treatments?

During the hottest part of the day, the battery-powered sensor detects the amount of solar energy entering the home through the window and sends out a wireless signal that automatically opens or closes window treatment to maximize energy efficiency in the room.

The sensor features two unique energy saving modes:

Summer Mode

  • Lowers/closes shades during the hottest hours of the day.
  • Reduces the amount of solar heat (ultraviolet rays) entering the home by lowering the shade(s), keeping the room cooler in the hot summer months.
  • Activates shade operation when solar energy at the window reaches the set thermal threshold level.
  • Retains the cool air in a room by lowering the shade(s), saving on cooling costs in the summer.

Winter Mode

  • Raises/opens shades during the warmest times of the day.
  • Closes shades automatically when the temperature drops outside, keeping the warm air inside.
  • Allows for solar heat from the sun to enter a room through the window and warm the room in the cold winter months, saving on heating costs.
  • Activates shade operation when solar energy at the window reaches the set thermal threshold level.

Solar Sensor Operation

  • One sensor unit can control a single shade or multiple shades in a room.
  • For optimal energy savings, multiple sensors can be installed in windows facing different directions of the home to operate specific groups of shades at proper times

Add the Solar Sensor to Your Window Treatments

Solar energy activation levels can be adjusted depending on your preference for the inside temperature of your home. The solar sensor safely mounts to the interior side of the window glass, and your shades can be controlled by a Platinum remote or Platinum wireless wall switch.
