As a full home automation integrator in Rockwall, CET goes beyond shade-only companies — your motorized screens work automatically from your phone, voice commands, or a programmed schedule, integrated with your entire smart home.
Rockwall homeowners know the challenge: you invest in a beautiful outdoor patio or pergola, but from May through September, the Texas sun makes it unusable by mid-afternoon. Motorized solar screens solve that problem. With a button press or voice command, retractable screens lower to block 90-97% of UV rays, drop patio temperatures by 15-20 degrees, and let you enjoy your outdoor space year-round.

Why Rockwall Homes Need Motorized Solar Screens
Rockwall sits on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, and outdoor living is a major part of what makes this community special. From Chandlers Landing to The Shores to Rush Creek, Rockwall homeowners build covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and pool areas designed for entertaining. But the DFW summer heat — routinely 100°F+ from June through September — turns those spaces into ovens by mid-afternoon.
Motorized solar screens address this head-on. When lowered, they block the sun’s heat and UV before it reaches your patio, dropping the shaded temperature significantly. When the sun goes down or a cool front comes through, they retract completely so you keep your open-air views of the lake, yard, or Rockwall skyline. Unlike permanent awnings, motorized screens give you control — shade when you need it, open when you don’t.
Common Rockwall applications:
- Covered back patios — Two or three screens on the south and west sides make afternoon entertaining comfortable even in July.
- Pergolas and outdoor kitchens — Screens mount between pergola columns for full enclosure when needed.
- Pool and spa areas — Reduce glare, protect from UV, and keep bugs out during evening swims.
- Lakefront homes — Properties along Lake Ray Hubbard with expansive west-facing views benefit from solar screens that cut afternoon glare without blocking the water view.

Smart Automation for Rockwall Outdoor Living
CET is a full home automation integrator — not a shade company. Your motorized screens integrate with your entire smart home ecosystem. This is the key difference between CET and competitors like Cross Breeze Screens or Blinds Brothers — those companies install screens, but they can’t tie them into your lighting, security, audio, or climate control.
Automatic Sunset/Sunrise
Screens lower at sunset and rise at sunrise automatically. Your Rockwall patio is always ready without touching a button.
App & Voice Control
Control every screen from the Lutron app or your voice. Say “Alexa, lower the patio screens” — works from anywhere, even from the office.
Scene Integration
One button triggers your entire outdoor setup — screens down, patio lights on, outdoor audio on. Perfect for Rockwall evening entertaining.

- Custom Recommendation — Based on patio orientation, wind conditions, and automation goals, we recommend the right screen type, fabric, motor, and sensor options.
- Professional Installation — CET handles mounting, wiring, and motor installation. Wiring routes cleanly through your patio structure — no visible conduit. Most 2-4 screen jobs complete in one day.
- Programming & Walkthrough — We program automation scenes, configure wind sensor thresholds, and walk you through the app, voice commands, and scenes before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions — Solar Screens in Rockwall, TX
How much do motorized solar screens cost in Rockwall?
Single screens run $800–$2,500 depending on size and motor type. Most covered patios with 2–3 screens run $2,500–$6,000 installed. Premium Lutron systems with sensors run $5,000–$10,000+. CET provides free in-home estimates — call (972) 807-0075.
Can CET install screens on my pergola?
Yes. We install on covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and pool enclosures throughout Rockwall. Most pergolas and patio covers are excellent candidates. CET assesses your structure during the free consultation.
What screen opacity is best for Rockwall’s sun?
Most Rockwall homeowners choose 3% or 5% openness fabric. A 3% screen blocks 97% of UV — ideal for south and west-facing patios. A 5% screen provides excellent shade with better airflow. Lakefront homes typically prefer 3% to cut afternoon glare off the water. We bring samples so you can compare in your actual conditions.
Do motorized screens work with Alexa and smart home systems?
Yes — this is CET’s specialty. We integrate screens with Alexa, Google Home, Lutron, and other platforms. Your screens can be voice-controlled, app-controlled, or automated by time of day, sun position, or wind speed.
How long does installation take?
Most 2-4 screen installations take one day. Larger projects with smart home integration or wind sensors may take 1-2 days. CET handles mounting, wiring, programming, and walkthrough.
Do solar screens help with energy costs?
Solar screens can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% by blocking heat gain before it enters your home. In Rockwall’s 100°F+ summers, that’s significant savings on your electric bill. The screens pay for themselves over time through energy savings alone.
What’s the difference between solar screens and patio shades?
Solar screens use woven mesh that blocks UV and heat while maintaining visibility and airflow. Patio shades use heavier fabric for complete shade and privacy but reduce airflow. CET installs both — many Rockwall homeowners combine both types across different patio areas.
