Alpha TYB004 3W USB-C Solar Panel

Alpha TYB004 3W USB-C Solar Panel

The Alpha TYB004 Solar Panel provides a convenient solar charging solution for compatible Alpha rechargeable motor systems, reducing the need to manually connect a wall charger when the motor battery requires charging.

Designed for compatible WSERD50-B and WSERD30-B motors, the TYB004 uses a USB-C connection and provides up to 3 watts of output power.

Its slim 380 × 82 × 2mm construction allows the panel to be incorporated neatly into suitable window installations while its IP55 protection rating provides protection appropriate to its intended environment.

For compatible rechargeable motorised blinds, the TYB004 provides a simple way to use available sunlight to help maintain the motor’s battery charge.

Designed for Compatible Alpha Battery Motors

Alpha specifies the TYB004 as suitable for:

• WSERD50-B motors
• WSERD30-B motors

This makes the panel a dedicated accessory for compatible Alpha rechargeable motor systems rather than a general-purpose solar panel.

Customers adding solar charging to an existing installation should confirm their exact motor model and charging connection before ordering.

USB-C Connection

The Alpha TYB004 uses a USB-C connection, providing a straightforward charging interface with compatible Alpha motors.

USB-C is also used across Alpha’s newer charging equipment, helping simplify connection to compatible rechargeable motor systems.

However, a USB-C connector by itself does not establish motor compatibility. The motor model and charging requirements should still be checked before purchasing.

3-Watt Solar Output

The TYB004 has a specified output power of 3 watts.

The panel converts available sunlight into electrical power for the compatible motor’s rechargeable battery system.

Actual solar generation will naturally depend on the amount of usable sunlight reaching the panel. Positioning, orientation, shading, weather and surrounding structures can all affect the solar energy available.

For best results, the panel should be installed in an appropriate position with suitable access to sunlight and in accordance with Alpha’s installation requirements.

Reduce Manual Charging

One of the main advantages of adding a solar panel to a compatible battery motor is convenience.

Without solar charging, a rechargeable blind motor needs to be periodically connected to its compatible charger.

For blinds installed high above the floor or in locations where the charging connection is difficult to access, this can become inconvenient.

The TYB004 allows available sunlight to contribute to maintaining the motor’s rechargeable battery, reducing dependence on periodic manual charging where installation and sunlight conditions are suitable.

Ultra-Slim Design

Despite its useful solar output, the TYB004 measures only:

380 × 82 × 2mm

At just 2mm thick, the panel has an extremely slim profile.

Its long, narrow format makes it particularly suitable for window applications where a large conventional solar panel would be visually intrusive or impractical.

The compact dimensions also make it easier to position the panel within an appropriate area of the window installation.

IP55 Protection Rating

The Alpha TYB004 carries an IP55 protection rating.

An IP55-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress sufficient to prevent harmful deposits and protection against water jets from different directions.

The panel should nevertheless be installed according to Alpha’s requirements and should not be treated as suitable for conditions beyond its specified protection rating.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The TYB004 has a specified working temperature range of:

-10°C to +65°C

This wide operating range allows the solar panel to function across the varying temperatures that can occur around windows and building exteriors.

Direct sunlight can cause surfaces around windows to become considerably warmer than the surrounding air, making the panel’s specified operating-temperature range an important technical characteristic.

Ideal for Existing Compatible Installations

The TYB004 can be particularly useful when upgrading an existing compatible Alpha battery-motor installation.

If a WSERD50-B or compatible WSERD30-B motor is currently being manually charged, adding the appropriate solar panel can provide a more convenient charging arrangement.

This may be particularly valuable for:

• High windows
• Frequently operated motorised blinds
• Hard-to-access charging locations
• Installations where convenient power outlets aren’t nearby
• Customers wanting to reduce manual charging

Check Compatibility Before Ordering

The TYB004 should not be assumed to work with every Alpha battery motor.

Alpha specifically identifies the panel as suitable for WSERD50-B and WSERD30-B motors.

Customers should confirm the exact motor model and USB-C charging compatibility before ordering, particularly where an older motor installation is involved.
