FlexShade® ZIP 127 with Solar Panel

The FlexShade® ZIP 127 with Solar Panel offers a fully integrated, pre-wired motor, battery, and solar panel solution—no line voltage required.

FlexShade® ZIP 127 with Solar Panel provides a plug-and-play solution for motorized roller shades, integrating a quiet DC motor, solar panel, and embedded battery in a pre-wired system. No line voltage connection is required, making it ideal for applications where wiring access is limited. Engineered for performance and energy efficiency with advanced power management algorithms to enable charging even without direct sunlight. Built-in adjustable wings optimize solar panel orientation. Key features include soft-start/stop, intermediate positions, and smart home or radio control. Welded ZIP fabric and unique side channels form a sealed enclosure, ideal for garages, patios, porches, pool houses, and outdoor commercial food service areas.

ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 Child Safety Standard

Effective June 1, 2024, in compliance with the updated ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 child safety standard, all Draper® window shades operated by a bead chain will be furnished with a tensioned hold-down device that is permanently attached and partially disables the product if not installed correctly. This hold-down should be installed with tension on the chain.

All bead chain operated window shades will include:

  • Permanently installed spring-loaded tensioned hold-down device
  • Approved permanent warning label attached
  • Approved mechanical fasteners for the tension device included. Screws provided are not suitable for all mounting surfaces. The installer is responsible for secure mounting using appropriate hardware for the site conditions. Consult with contractors and builders as needed.

If the tension device is not installed with appropriate tension on the bead chain, the shade will be rendered partially inoperable. If installed properly, the tension device will prevent the creation of a hazardous loop and will maintain tension on the bead chain.

Approved permanent warning label
