coverings. This innovative product from Somfy is easy to install, and provides a maintenance free,
longer life alternative as compared to standard lithium battery options.
This product is designed to meet the energy requirements for new and existing Somfy 12 Volt WireFreeTM
motorized window coverings, and should not be used in conjunction with any other motor systems.

If your motorized window covering does not have provisions to mount the battery tube, you will need to
purchase the optional wall mount battery clips as pictured on previous page.
•New Installations: The location of battery tube must be determined prior to installation of
window covering.
•Existing Installations: Simply replace the existing (Lithium) battery tube with the new Solar
Pack battery tube.
(NOTE: Lithium battery tubes are not compatible with Solar Pack)
NOTE: Battery should be fully charged prior to installation with battery charger
(Somfy Item #9015781) sold separately.
The following depicts the most common installation options, however the battery tube may be
installed in a location that is most convenient.
Step 1: Installing Battery Tube
Inside Window Frame Mounting Only:
Find the “Window Depth.”
Measure the depth of the window
return (front to back) and note.
Find the “Overall Depth.”
Measure the depth of the
window covering (front to back)
including window covering
mounting brackets. Add 1 inch
and note.
Is the “Window Depth” SMALLER
than the “Overall Depth?“
Inside Window Frame
mounting is not possible.
Inside Window Frame
mounting is acceptable,
GO TO STEP 2.
YES
NO
Option 2: Vertical Mount Inside or
Outside of Window Frame
Option 1: Horizontal Mount Inside
or Outside of Window Frame
NOTE: If the battery tube is located more than 10 inches from the motor (motor side of window
covering) an extension cable may be used.
Option 3: Any other location that
works for your specific installation

• The Solar Panel must always be installed INDOORS, in most cases, directly against the
window glass to ensure maximum exposure to sunlight
NOTE: To prevent damage to Solar Panel and/or window hardware, DO NOT MOUNT Solar
Panel directly to window glass if it will cause an obstruction to moveable window frames
and hardware!
• Optional:Solar Panel should be mounted on the same side as the battery tube (see Option 1 and 2).
Extension cables may be purchased to accommodate other locations.
The following depicts the most common installation options, however if Solar Panel CANNOT be
mounted directly to window glass, the Optional Solar Panel Bracket Kit (previous page) may have
to be purchased. The bracket kit will enable the Solar Panel to be mounted directly to the inside
“window-return“ or directly to the window covering enclosure/headrail (if one is used).
See Option 4 (below).
Step 2: Installing Solar Panel
Determine the location of the Solar Panel
Option 1: Horizontal Mount Inside
or Outside of Window Frame
Option 2: Vertical Mount Inside or
Outside Frame
Option 3: Any other location that
works for your specific installation
Option 4
NOTE: If the Solar Panel is located more than 10 inches from the motor (motor side of the window
covering) an optional extension cable (previous page) may be used.

Master Liner
Adhesive must stay with upper liner when
peeled away from master liner
Step 3: Installing Solar Panel to Window Glass
1. Clean Solar Panel frame and proposed window glass location with alcohol prep pad (included).
Let dry for 2 minutes.
2. Position Solar Panel “face-up” and apply the adhesive tape to (4) corners of the Solar Panel
frame (See Figure 2). Then adhere to window surface.
NOTE: Adhesive tape is precut for your convenience. Direct contact with skin may contaminate
tape. It is important that your skin does not come in contact with adhesive. Always peel away
the master liner (first) while handling/positioning tape with upper liner. This will allow you
to easily position tape onto frame of Solar Panel. (See Figures 1 and 2)

Step 4: Connecting Solar Panel and Battery Tube

•New Installations: Please reference Window Covering Product Guide (Usually included with
Motorized Window Covering) for instructions on initial activation and/or programming of product.
•Existing Installations: Simply operate the window covering as normal. Once initial command
(UP and DOWN) is sent, window covering will respond with a brief “jog,” (UP and DOWN
movement). All controls will now operate as previously. There is no need to reprogram the
motorized window covering.
Step 5: Commissioning Motorized Window Covering
ACTIVATION OF MOTORIZED WINDOW COVERING:
For existing installations, simply activate the UP or DOWN
button to operate the motorized window covering!
