Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery last?
Batteries are a replaceable part and typically last several years in normal use. Replacement does not mean replacing the shutter.
Can solar shutters be put on a timer?
Yes, with a compatible wireless timer or smart hub.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Rickmansworth?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
