Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a solar mask for a facility that comprises a step (E10) of positioning a mobile terminal at a predetermined location of a photovoltaic panel. Following the step (E10), the method comprises a step (E20) of taking a single photograph with a camera of the mobile terminal and a step (E30) of determining an orientation of the camera, during the step (E20), by means of an orientation detection device and a controller of the mobile terminal. The method further comprises a step (E40) of extending at least one contour of the photograph, in at least one direction, and a step (E60) of superimposing data from the extended photograph with a sun path diagram, in a common reference frame, so as to determine the solar mask.

A first end of each of the first and second electrical conductors is configured to be electrically connected to the mains electrical supply network. The radiofrequency unit is electrically connected to a connection point. The connection point is arranged at a second end of the first electrical conductor. The radiofrequency signal control device further comprises an adaptation line section. A first end of the adaptation line section is electrically connected to the connection point. Furthermore, a second end of the adaptation line section is either electrically connected to a reference voltage or is devoid of an electrical connection.

Abstract: A method for controlling a shading device includes: moving a screen by electrical activation of an electromechanical actuator; determining a value of data representing operation of a motorised drive device during screen movement; and comparing the determined data to a first predetermined threshold. Depending on the result, the method includes: reducing a rotational speed setpoint of an output shaft of the electromechanical actuator if the value of the determined data ≥ the value of the first predetermined threshold, to reduce power consumed by the electromechanical actuator; or maintaining the rotational speed setpoint of the output shaft of the electromechanical actuator as long as the determined data

Abstract: An electromechanical actuator is integrated into a blackout or sun-shading device that includes a screen, top and bottom bars, and top and bottom winding shafts. The screen is between the bars. The top bar is connected to the top winding shaft by first cords. The bottom bar is connected to the bottom winding shaft by second cords. The electromechanical actuator includes first and second transmission devices and an electric motor that drives the shafts. The first transmission device connects to the motor and the top winding shaft and includes a first clutch. The second transmission device connects to the electric motor and the bottom winding shaft and includes a second clutch. When the motor is activated with only one clutch engaged, only one winding shaft is rotated. Moreover, when the motor is activated electrically and the clutches are engaged, the winding shafts are rotated by the motor.
