Griesser presents solar-powered shading systems

Aadorf TG, January 2024

Aadorf TG - Das auf Sonnenschutz an Gebäuden spezialisierte Unternehmen Griesser bringt einen Rolladen und zwei Fassadenmarkisen mit Solarmotoren auf den Markt. Diese Produkte eignen sich vor allem auch bei Umbauten und Renovationen.

According to a press release, Griesser AG is launching sustainable and easy-to-install solar shading products for windows and patios: With Renobloc Solar, Solozip Solar and Solocreen Solar, the family-run company, founded in 1882, is launching a roller shutter and two awnings with solar drive.

Renobloc Solar is a front-mounted roller shutter with a high degree of blackout that can be installed under existing lintels or directly on the façade during conversions and renovations. Its box protects the blind and the mechanism from the weather.

The vertically installed Solozip Solar façade awning comes with a zip that is welded to the fabric. It holds the fabric in the guides over the entire height. This version, with or without the solar option, can withstand particularly high wind speeds of up to 92 kilometres per hour.

Soloscreen Solar is another vertical awning. It is also available in numerous colour variants. According to Griesser, this makes it ideal as a design element for modern architecture. The Renobloc roller shutter is available immediately. The Solozip façade awning will be available from mid-January and Soloscreen from February 2024.

The radio motors of all models are equipped with obstacle detection and frost protection function. They are activated using a remote control or the Somfy smart home control system. The solar products reportedly work for 30 days without direct sunlight, opening and closing twice a day.

Griesser produces in its own factories in Switzerland, Austria and France and sells its products in over 20 countries. The company, which is based in the St.Gallen-Lake Constance area, employs around 1,500 people in total, of whom around 800 work in Switzerland.
