Abstract
Electromechanical actuator for a shading device, the electromechanical actuator comprising: – an electric motor (16) - an electronic control unit (15), - a rechargeable battery (18), and - a connector (28) to a photovoltaic solar panel (37) or to a charger (44), the electronic control unit (15) comprising: - a charging circuit (32) connected to the rechargeable battery (18) and electrically connected to the connector (28) via a power bus (34), - a controller (31), and - means for detecting (39) a connection of the photovoltaic solar panel (37) to the connector (28), - a first switch (38), the first switch (38) being connected to the connector (28) via the power bus (34) and to the rechargeable battery (18).The controller (31) commands the first switch (38) to close when a connection of a photovoltaic solar panel (37) to the connector (28) is detected, so as to electrically connect the power bus (34) to the connection means to the rechargeable battery (18).
