Most motorized shades come with compromises — drilling, wiring, batteries that need replacing, or poor fits that let sunlight leak through. Mado changes all of that. With a precision-fit design, these shades clip directly into your window frame without any tools. They’re powered entirely by built-in solar panels, so they stay charged continuously without requiring cables, outlets, or battery swaps.


Here’s how it works: the solar panel absorbs sunlight during the day to keep the motor running. An AI-powered app then automates your shades, adjusting them throughout the day based on sunlight, heat, and your preferences. That means better light control, more consistent indoor temperatures, and less energy wasted on overworked air conditioning. You can also control everything manually using a pre-configured remote — or pair the shades with Alexa, Google, Apple, or Samsung using Matter, no special hubs required.


Mado comes in four standard sizes and two finishes — white or carbon — designed to complement any modern space. Choose between light-filtering fabrics for a balance of insulation and daylight, or blackout fabrics for full privacy and maximum efficiency. Whether you're upgrading one window or your entire home, Mado offers an easy, intelligent way to stay cool, reduce energy bills, and take control of your comfort — all without wires, effort, or guesswork.
