AM25 RF Solar Powered Rechargeable Battery Motor Wireless Battery Remote Operated DIY Motorized Blinds/Shades Working for 1.5" Roller Shades(Bare Motor Only)

Exceeded my expectations and was easy to use. Mounting is as difficult as your situation but all of the parts were there. We did have to work a bit to get the new end caps to fit in the shades we had (aluminum 1.5” tube). Happy with the purchase.

After getting a pricey quote from a blinds company I decided to go the DIY route. I'm very happy with the result and saved a lot of money. I have installed 6 of these motors in my home. They all have worked great. The charge has lasted for months. The one trick is to find a roller shade with the right tube diameter to fit the motor (1 1/2 inches). Also found using a BOND wifi unit works great for controlling the motors with Alexa. One BOND unit reaches all the shades in the house.

This is NOT solar powered, it will NOT work with Alexa. I emailed multiple times as the listing says to inquire, they responded that they would get me the information and three emails later, still no response.

Edit: Revising my review up to 3 stars and changing the title. Here's the deal. Don't buy the solar panels. A well-made product would have a charge controller either in the unit or in the solar panel. These do not. If you leave the solar panels plugged in, it burns out the battery. If I have to climb up there and plug in the solar panel to charge it occasionally, what's the point of having solar panels in the first place? But when you DON'T use the solar panels, they don't burn out, and you can charge them off of the wall wart, and they work fine. I'm keeping it at 3 stars because at no point during the purchase process or the multiple exchanges I had to do when they burned out did anyone from AOK mention that you couldn't just plug the solar panel in and leave it. It's not in any instructions they give you, either.Original review from before I learned to just forget the waste-of-money solar panels is below:I bought 10 of these, and while I was still buying things, they had great customer service. The third one just failed tonight. I've had to fight my way through amazon customer support to get replacements twice now, and I'm about to have to do it a third time. They all fail the same: won't take a charge either through the solar panel which I also wasted my money on, or with the charger. I'm expecting that the rest will likely all fail the same way in the weeks to come. If you can leave them plugged in all the time, that might be fine, but I can't. I have to get up on a long ladder every time one of these dies. I don't know if the solar panel damages them or if the batteries just don't work. Either way, look elsewhere.

Motor operates and installs as described and reasonably easy as I have done this before. When my four shades go up, this new motor is by far the slowest.

Very good product

Great product would recommend works as expected and great seller experience

The motor was easy to install on the shade, great price.
