Claim 18:
19. A method for checking compatibility of a motorized drive device for a closure, shading or solar protection installation,
the installation comprising at least:
a shading device, the shading device comprising at least one screen,
a motorized drive device, the screen being configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position using the motorized drive device, the motorized drive device comprising at least:
an electromechanical actuator, and
an autonomous electrical energy supply device, the autonomous electrical energy supply device comprising at least one photovoltaic panel and at least one electrical energy storage device, the autonomous electrical energy supply device being configured to supply the electromechanical actuator with electrical energy,

the method being carried out using a mobile terminal,
the mobile terminal comprising at least:
a controller,
a photographic instrument, and
an orientation detection device,

the method comprising at least:
selecting the electromechanical actuator from a list of electromechanical actuators or inputting an identifier of the electromechanical actuator,
selecting the photovoltaic panel from a list of photovoltaic panels or inputting an identifier of the photovoltaic panel,
selecting the electrical energy storage device from a list of electrical energy storage devices or inputting an identifier of the electrical energy storage device,
determining a geographical localization of the installation,
determining a solar mask by the determination method according to claim 1, and
checking compatibility of the motorized drive device was a function of the results of the selecting or inputting of the electromechanical actuator, the photovoltaic panel and the electrical energy storage device, the determining of the geographical localization of the installation, and the determining of the solar mask.
