Do I Have To Have A Motor For My Markilux Retractable Awning Or Exterior Solar Screen?
You don’t have to have a motor unless the awnings are large – coupled awnings for example are only sold motorized. If it is a small awning, you can easily extend or retract it in and out with a manual winder made of stainless steel. However, a motor makes it much more convenient, and increases the likelihood that you will actually use your awning or exterior window shades. And if you are trying to save energy, that’s an important consideration. Motorization also allows complete sensor-controlled automatic operation of the awnings or shades.
