Claim 10:
11. A method for installing an electrically stand-alone home-automation device, the electrically stand-alone home-automation device comprising a photovoltaic module, a device that closes, occults, protects or screens from the sun and an element for storing electrical energy that is configured to supply the device that closes, occults, protects or screens from the sun with power, the element for storing electrical energy being connected to the photovoltaic module and intended to be charged by the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic module,
the method comprising:
implementing the method for testing compatibility between the energy requirements of the electrically stand-alone home-automation device and the plurality of positions on the predefined site for installing the photovoltaic module as claimed in claim 1, and, if the compatibility test is positive for at least one among the plurality of positions on the predefined site,
installing the device that closes, occults, protects or screens from the sun of the electrically stand-alone home-automation device, and
installing the photovoltaic module of the electrically stand-alone home-automation device in one of the at least one position on the predefined site for which the compatibility test is positive.
