Power Options for Motorized Shades

PowerView® shades can be powered in several ways depending on the window treatment, installation, and needs of your home. Your A Shade Above designer can help determine the best option for each window.

Rechargeable Battery Wand

A convenient rechargeable power option that eliminates the need to replace disposable batteries. The slim battery wand mounts discreetly on or near the headrail and can be recharged as needed using a compatible Hunter Douglas charger.

Solar Charger

A convenient charging option for compatible PowerView® rechargeable battery wands. Mounted discreetly inside the window, the solar charger uses available natural light to help maintain the battery’s charge, reducing the need to manually remove or recharge the battery wand.

16 Shade DC Power Supply

An ideal solution for new construction, remodeling, and larger motorization projects where wired power can be planned in advance. A single centralized power supply can provide power to multiple compatible PowerView® window treatments, reducing the need for individual batteries or chargers.

AA Batteries

A simple battery-powered option that requires no electrical wiring or access to an outlet. Depending on the window treatment and installation, compatible PowerView® shades can operate using standard AA batteries housed discreetly within the shade’s power system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are motorized blinds powered?

Motorized blinds can be powered via an external battery back, internal battery (located in the shade’s tube), plugged into a standard wall outlet, or powered by a central low voltage controller that is placed and wired during home construction.

Can motorized blinds be used manually?

Motorized blinds and shades cannot be used without power. Attempting to do so might damage the motor or other internal components.

Do motorized blinds need to be plugged in?

Many of our motorized blinds and shades run on rechargeable batteries. These batteries are hidden inside the shade’s tube, so you won’t see any bulky battery packs. Charging them is easy.

If you prefer a different power source, we have options for that too. You can plug some shades into a regular wall outlet for constant power. Or, if you’re building a new home, we can wire the shades directly into your home’s electrical system. We offer these choices to fit your needs and make things simple.
