SolarFlex—Sun Tracking Automation
®
SolarFlex is a sun tracking automation software which takes your buildings fl oor plan and runs the shades according-
ly. Shades will run up and down based on the sun’s intensity, azimuth, and light penetration needs. SolarFlex can work
with other switching devices or alarm systems as well.
Benefi ts of SolarFlex are:
1. Maximum light and glare control
2. Energy Effi ciency
3. Daylighting Autonomy is maximized.
4. User records are kept
5. System can be manipulated or reprogrammed easily to account for changing exterior conditions.
6. Remote management of system is possible.
To install this system, one will need to dedicate a control closet to locate a PC with the software loaded on it. A small
weather station will also need to exist on the roof. All controls on the job will need to be addressed and those addresses
must be recorded for programming the SolarFlex.
The dedicated PC will be provided by Draper, and it will be programmed with the building fl oor plan. Floor plans must
be provided to Draper.
The weather station on the roof will let the PC know if it is sunny or not. If it is not sunny then the shades will not
deploy. If it is, then the PC using the GPS of the building, time, and date will know the position of the sun and run the
shades.
The PC will need to reach out an obtain time in order to operate. If it does not then the time might get off and actions
will not be correct.
This system is designed to give the user the most energy effi cient operation of their shades, but people will some-
times not want this type of operation. The system can have wall switches or other devices to override the sun sensors.
The system will recalibrate every few hours to correct any overrides, and the system can be set not to respond to
override commands if desired.
The PC with the SolarFlex software must not be a work station PC. The shades can be run from the PC.
Solarfl ex is programming will require a lot of planning and coordination with Draper to ensure the system is correct.
Please contact Draper when planning to use this system so a series of steps for creating the system can be established
for a job.
