Solar Panel for SwitchBot Curtain 3 by Switchbot — Solar Panel 3, White, ABS housing, single unit

SwitchBot Solar Panel 3 (White) is an external solar charging accessory engineered for use with the SwitchBot Curtain 3. Housed in white ABS, this single-unit panel measures approximately 71 mm × 20.3 mm × 177.8 mm and is intended to supply continuous power to the Curtain 3 motor. The panel is designed for straightforward mounting and weather-resistant operation to reduce the frequency of manual recharging and support automated curtain control in homes and offices.

Advantages

The solar panel increases charging efficiency in low-light conditions and can deliver sufficient energy with short periods of sunlight, which helps maintain Curtain 3 battery levels and reduces manual intervention. It is designed for stable power conversion and consistent output when paired with the SwitchBot Curtain 3, and its ABS UV-resistant housing provides durability and resistance to typical outdoor conditions. Integrated mounting features enable simple attachment and angle adjustment for better solar exposure.

Suitable for

• Maintaining continuous power for SwitchBot Curtain 3 in living rooms or bedrooms
• Outdoor-exposed or sunlit windows where frequent recharging is undesirable
• Office or commercial spaces with daily sunlight to reduce maintenance
• Users who prefer automated curtain operation with minimal battery management

When it may not be suitable

The solar panel is specifically designed for use with the SwitchBot Curtain 3 and may not be compatible with earlier or unrelated curtain motor models. Locations that receive very little or no direct sunlight for extended periods will not provide reliable charging and may still require periodic manual recharging of the Curtain 3 battery.
