Compatible replacement solar panel – suitable for VELUX SSL S22/V22
Compatible replacement solar panel – suitable for VELUX SSL S22/V22
“I replace a weakened or faulty solar panel so that the existing 10.8 V NiMH battery in your VELUX SSL solar roller shutter can charge reliably again.”
This offer includes a modified, compatible replacement solar panel, suitable for VELUX SSL solar roller shutters in the S22/V22 series with the previous 10.8 V NiMH drive system. The panel is prepared for S22/V22 applications and comes with a compatible connector. It is ready to connect and can be installed without soldering or modifying the connection cable. This is not an original VELUX product.
Replacement for the existing solar panel – suitable for VELUX SSL S22/V22
The solar panel regularly recharges the NiMH battery built into the roller shutter motor. As the panel ages, the charging performance of the existing panel may decrease, even if no obvious external damage is initially visible.
A weakened solar panel can mean that the battery is no longer fully charged and the solar roller shutter only works to a limited extent.
Typical signs of a weak solar panel
- The battery is no longer fully charged
- The roller shutter only moves part of the way
- The motor stops again after a short movement
- The roller shutter moves down and then back again
- A new battery will be deeply discharged again within a short period of time
- The system only works reliably for a short time after the battery has been replaced
Product features

- Suitable for the previous 10.8 V NiMH system generation
- Designed for the existing solar charging circuit in the approx. 20 V class
- Fitted with a compatible connector
- Adapted connection cable, ready to connect
- Mechanically prepared for the intended S22/V22 application
- Polarity and electrical function tested
- Ready to install, no soldering required
What's included
- 1 x Modified Compatible Replacement Solar Panel
- 1 x connection cable with compatible connector
- Electrical function test
- Polarity check
- Preparation for installation in suitable S22/V22 applications
The motor, battery pack, remote control, roller shutter curtain and other accessories are not included unless expressly stated otherwise.
Compatibility
Suitable for appropriately equipped systems:
- VELUX SSL solar roller shutters from the previous 10.8 V NiMH system generation
- Series S22 or V22
- Versions from around 2012
- Motors from the previous 10.8 V NiMH system generation
- motor references for example 830967, 834296 and 863678
- Systems with the existing solar charging circuit in the approx. 20 V class
Compatibility should be tested before purchase using photos of the existing roller shutter, motor, panels and connector.
Not suitable for
- Newer VELUX motor platforms with short black 4.5V solar panel
- Drives with different voltage systems
- Systems in which the motor, battery or electronics have already been converted elsewhere
- Systems in which the existing connection plug or design does not match the S22/V22 version
Important: Motor and solar panel of different voltage systems must not be combined with each other. A 4.5 V system cannot be equated with the previous 10.8 V NiMH system generation or the approximately 20 V solar charging circuit.
Needed before purchasing
Please send clear photos in advance so that the appropriate version can be tested:
- Nameplate on the lower roller shutter slat
- Sticker on the motor unit
- Existing solar panel
- Connector and plug connections
- Installation situation on the roller shutter
Sustainability through targeted replacement
If only the solar panel is weakened or defective, the entire solar roller shutter drive does not necessarily need to be replaced. By specifically replacing the panel, the existing 10.8 V drive technology can often continue to be used.
This saves material, reduces unnecessary spare part costs and preserves the existing system generation.
Important notes
- Modified, compatible replacement part from an independent supplier
- Not an original VELUX solar panel
- Connection via a compatible connector, not an original VELUX connector
- Ready to connect, no soldering required
- The panel is intended for the previous 10.8 V NiMH system generation
- Compatibility should be checked using customer photos before purchase
- Installation and connection should be carried out professionally

Frequently asked questions about VELUX SSL S22/V22 solar roller shutters
Is S22 the same as V22?
VELUX officially uses the name for the replacement set ZOZ 221 S22. In the spare parts trade and in search queries, the same generation is often referred to as V22 designated. That is why both terms are used on this website.How do I recognize a suitable roller shutter?
The nameplate often contains designations such as: SSL, SSL-K or SSL-S as well as endings like 0000S, 0100S or 0700S. Before ordering, compatibility should be confirmed using a photo.Does the roller shutter have to be retrained after a repair?
If the existing radio and control electronics are retained, re-teaching is not necessary in many cases. When replacing the entire motor and electronic unit, the new drive usually has to be re-trained using the remote control or the existing smart home system.Why are the battery and solar panel tested together?
A weakened solar panel cannot adequately charge a new battery. Simply replacing the battery would not eliminate the actual error. That's why it always makes sense to check the solar panel if there is a recurring deep discharge or a short running time.Are these original VELUX spare parts?
The reconditioned motor and electronic units are original used VELUX components. The new battery pack and modified solar panel are compatible replacement parts. The solar panel is equipped with a compatible connector. VELUX is a registered trademark of VKR Holding A/S. The battery pack and solar panel are compatible replacement parts, not original VELUX products. This is an independent offer from Smart Home Thomas Reh / Rohrmotor-Doktor, with no commercial affiliation to or authorisation from the VELUX Group.
