  • auxiliary battery may have at least two electrical outputs, in particular a first output delivering a voltage of 12 volts to supply electrical energy to the battery 24 and a second output delivering a voltage of 5 volts to supply electrical energy to other electrical equipment, called nomadic.
  • auxiliary battery is electrically connected to the battery 24 instead of the photovoltaic panel 25, the method described previously allowing the identification of the model 25a, 25b, ..., 25n of photovoltaic panel 25, from the predetermined list, cannot be implemented.
  • the electromechanical actuator 11 is inserted into a rail, in particular of square or rectangular section, which can be open at one or both of its ends, in particular in the assembled configuration of the occultation device 3. Furthermore, the electromechanical actuator 11 can be configured to drive a drive shaft on which cords for moving and/or orienting the screen 2 are wound, which can, advantageously, be a slatted blind in this case.
