Pendax SOLO + CONDUCTOR

Independent local control. Full overview across the entire building.

Pendax SOLO lets each solar shading unit make its own decisions locally. CONDUCTOR brings together control, operation and energy reporting across the entire property portfolio.

Lower cooling demand

Keep solar heat out before indoor spaces warm up and reduce the load on the building's cooling system.

Simple installation

Install without additional cabling or system design. Once SOLO is connected and configured, it starts controlling immediately.

Scalable management

Manage solar shading across your entire property portfolio in one system, with a consolidated view of buildings, façades and zones.

Reporting-ready data

Track estimated energy and CO₂e savings for each property, with a confidence rating and export to Excel or PDF.

How it works:

Each solar shading unit has its own Pendax SOLO controller that operates it autonomously based on sunlight, wind, temperature and time – without a central controller making every decision. Pendax CONDUCTOR collects status, operational and energy data from every unit in a building, and can do the same across multiple properties in one system. The result is verifiable energy and CO₂ data ready for reporting.

What is Pendax SOLO?

Pendax SOLO is a Swedish-made autonomous controller for solar shading, developed to work directly without prior system design.

Connected to Pendax SOLO, each shading unit operates independently and controls itself using data on sun, wind, temperature, and time, completely without a central control system.

That means no planning, cabling, or programming is needed to start saving energy costs with fully functional shading from day one. The units can also be connected to the Pendax CONDUCTOR cloud service to manage them as one system in zones, facades, and schedules.

Why choose Pendax CONDUCTOR?

Pendax CONDUCTOR is a Swedish cloud service for property owners that brings all Pendax SOLO units together on one central platform. It provides easy administration, detailed monitoring, and flexible control of all your autonomous shading - from individual units to entire buildings and property portfolios.

Energy and CO₂ - reporting-ready:
CONDUCTOR estimates the solar heat your shading has blocked and converts it into saved cooling energy (kWh) and avoided carbon emissions (CO₂e, Scope 2 location-based), per building and device. The feature is available with the energy-saving models Solar heat control – external sun shading and Solar heat control – internal sun shading, and requires temperature data from the weather API or a connected temperature sensor. Pick a fiscal year, quarter or month and export to Excel (with a dedicated ESG sheet) or PDF. Every figure carries a confidence level and an error range - an honest model-based estimate, not greenwashing.
Full traceability - every movement documented:
CONDUCTOR builds a readable timeline of why each sunshade moved - confirmed by the device, inferred from the cloud, or observed. You also see what share is handled fully automatically, without reading a single log.
Centralized overview:
Get full control of your shading organized by property, tenant, floor, or facade.
Flexible control:
Let tenants and local administrators control shading as needed per unit or zone. Also possible to control individual rooms from local control panels (tablets) in the rooms.
Intelligent automation:
Adjust manual control and automation easily, for example by scheduling shading in selected zones.
Support & continuous updates:
Get ongoing support and regular updates directly from Pendax, ensuring you always have a future-proof and stable system.

With Pendax CONDUCTOR, you get the perfect balance between full control freedom and maximum energy savings thanks to intelligent automation.

Monitoring, operations, and security - built in

Control remotely - and get confirmation:
Control individual devices, zones, or entire facades remotely. Every command is acknowledged against the device response, so you see whether it was actually executed - not just sent.
Know immediately if something goes silent:
If a device stops reporting, you automatically get a portal notification and email - and a notice when it is back online. Maintenance becomes proactive instead of reactive.
Updates without site visits:
New firmware and improved control logic are rolled out wirelessly, with integrity checks (SHA-256) on every file. The installation improves over time - without a service van.

The right access for the right person:
Five roles that can be assigned at any level - the whole portfolio, a building, a facade, a zone, or a single window. Share the portal safely with tenants and property managers.
Remote configuration with receipt:
Tune device settings remotely - synced only when the device has confirmed the change. You immediately see what is in sync, pending, or different.
Traceable command log:
Every command is logged with who triggered it, from which interface, and when - clear evidence for questions or disputes.
