Eastern Metal Supply: Hurricane Prep – Solar Motors

As the hurricane season progresses, it’s more important than ever to make preparations to keep businesses and homes in the path of any oncoming storms safe from damage. Storm shutters are the most effective way to safeguard these properties from the high winds and any flying debris that these storms can produce.

But that begs the question: What’s the best way to deploy these shutters and the best way to open them back after the storms have passed? Roll-down shutters are handy, but what’s the quickest way to use them as the storms are bearing down and the swiftest means to reopen them once the skies have cleared?

Eastern Metal Supply (EMS) has the answer with its line of Solar Motors. They feature 30 & 50 Nm Remote Override Systems, offering a secondary manual means of operation. The motor’s Solar Panel charges a rechargeable lithium-ion battery to ensure power whenever it’s needed. The EMS Solar Motor also features a wall charging option via a Micro USB. 

Its 8-foot-long motor cable allows for convenient solar panel placement, and it can be attached or detached from the solar panel with a simple twist connection. Plus, there’s no need for expensive electrical components and installation, making the EMS Solar Motor great for upper floors and hard-to-reach openings. It comes in two varieties: the Type 5 EMS Brand Solar Motor Kit with Remote Override and the Bi-Directional Solar Panel Kit.

So when making preparations to protect properties from the storm season, make sure an EMS Solar Motor is a part of the plan.
