Installing on Your Switch Bot Curtain

Note: Your Switch Bot Curtain should already be installed on your curtain track at this time.

1. Press the side button to unfold the hanging rod until it’s 180° to your solar panel.
2. Connect your solar panel to your Switch Bot Curtain via the Type-C connector. Note that the dark blue side should be facing outwards to receive sunlight.
3. Installation is complete.
   

Usage Tips

Set the “Fully open” position manually

If your solar panel is hidden behind the wall when your curtains are fully open, we recommend using Custom Calibration to set the “Fully open” position, ensuring your solar panel is exposed.

Use Auto-charging

1. Open the Switch Bot app, go to Curtain > Light Sensor to view the light data.
2. Find the periods with higher light levels according to the data chart or your window’s orientation.
3. Navigate to Auto-charging and set a charging position and charging period accordingly.

Optimize the sunlight

Adjust your solar panel’s angle to maximize sunlight exposure.

According to your window’s orientation or the light sensor data, find the period within a day when there is most sunlight. Calculate the sunlight angle in this period based on your latitude, and adjust your solar panel’s angle to make it perpendicular to the sunlight.

Adjust the hanging rod flexibly

1. If your solar panel can be obstructed by window frames when the hanging rod is fully stretched, press the side button to fold the first joint.
   

2. Turn your solar panel around so the dark blue side faces outwards. Then, connect your solar panel to your Switch Bot Curtain via the Type-C chagring port at the bottom.
   

Removing from Your Switch Bot Curtain

1. Pinch the connector and pull to remove your solar panel from Switch Bot Curtain.
2. While pressing the side button, rotate the hanging rod to fold it. Then put your solar panel at an appropriate place.
   

Usage Conditions

• Windows that can receive direct sunlight, and the distance from the curtain track bottom to the sunlight area is less than 50 cm.
• The sunlight received should be intense enough to cast clear shadow of objects indoors.
  

Direct sunlight will optimize your solar panel efficiency. With only 3 hours under direct sunlight on a daily basis, your solar panel can power Switch Bot Curtain forever, *

*Data is obtained from lab experiment: on a 3-meter-long track, Switch Bot Curtain pushes a 8 kg curtain to open and close once a day.

Please note:
The Solar Panel can charge your Switch Bot Curtain even on cloudy or rainy days, but with reduced efficiency. Your Curtain’s batteries will assist during poor weather. However, if your solar panel consistently faces these conditions, it might not generate enough energy to power your Curtain indefinitely:

• Windows facing shaded directions.
• Windows with shade roofs.
• Tinted or coated windows.
