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.
-
Works without internet connectivity:
Pendax SOLO can track the sun's position relative to the window and detect solar intensity on its own - even completely without internet or cloud services. -
IT-secure communication via RS-485:
Can be connected to alarm functions or controlled centrally in a robust and secure way via RS-485. -
Connected intelligence:
With Wi-Fi connection, Pendax SOLO can fetch weather forecasts from meteorological services and plan its control in advance, and it can be managed with Pendax CONDUCTOR. -
Manual control with automatic return:
Users can control the shading with buttons. After a while, automation takes over again, providing both flexibility and reliability. -
Smart automation that does not disturb:
The solar shading only moves when it is truly needed - the result is a consistently good work environment that feels completely natural. -
Replace legacy control systems easily:
Pendax SOLO replaces large and complex systems that no longer work or have become costly to maintain - simply connect the shading motor to the SOLO unit and get started.
-
For indoor and outdoor use:
The same built-in intelligence works for both interior and exterior shading - no external units are needed. -
No project planning or programming:
Installation is simple: mount the shading, connect to a wall outlet, and do a quick configuration - done! -
Works with standard motors:
Pendax SOLO requires no special solutions or unusual motors - it works directly with standard roller blinds and common 230 V tubular motors. -
Save time, energy, and money:
Without extensive cabling and project planning, installation becomes both faster and less expensive from the start. -
Future-proof and modular:
The system is built for a long service life and can be easily expanded or updated without affecting the existing installation. -
Control via mobile app with PIN code:
Users on site can easily control nearby shading units via an Android or iPhone app - with no account login required. For secure use, a personal PIN is required. The feature can be enabled or disabled per unit.
Control the nearest shading directly from your phone:
Pendax SOLO and its accessories: A is the keypad (accessory) mounted next to the window, allowing users on site to control the shading manually. B is the temperature sensor (accessory), mounted indoors or on the facade depending on whether the shading is interior or exterior. C and D is the sun sensor (accessory), with different mounts depending on whether it is installed outside or inside. E is the control unit, usually installed above the suspended ceiling. It is connected to mains power and to the shading motor.
With Pendax SOLO, you get an autonomous system that is easy to install, discreet in operation, and smart enough to do the job quietly in the background.
