FAQ: How can I power low voltage shades? | Soleffect

While having an electrician pre-wire each window is a common approach, low-voltage (24V) shades offer significant flexibility for projects where hardwiring isn’t feasible. If you prefer to manage the power distribution without dedicated line-voltage at every opening, we offer two professional-grade alternatives.

1. Individual 24V Wall Mount Power Supply

The simplest solution for single-window installations or retrofits is our individual Wall Mount Power Supply. This unit converts standard 120V house current into the 24V power required by the motor.

  • Ease of Use: Plugs directly into any standard grounded wall outlet.
  • Discrete Design: Ideal for applications where a nearby outlet is hidden behind furniture or drapery.
  • Plug-and-Play: Requires no specialized electrical certification for installation.

2. Power Distribution Enclosure Kit (Multi-Motor)

For large-scale residential or commercial projects, the Power Distribution Enclosure Kit provides a centralized hub for your shading network. This is the gold standard for organized, high-performance shading power.

  • High Capacity: A single enclosure can provide power for up to 20 motors.
  • Centralized Maintenance: Consolidates all power connections into one location, such as an AV closet or mechanical room.
  • Efficiency: Simplifies cable management and reduces the number of individual outlets required at the window line.

Ordering Information

Both the individual wall-mount supplies and the multi-motor distribution kits can be purchased directly through our online ordering system. You can find these under the ‘Motor Controls and Accessories’ category to ensure your system has the reliable power it needs.
