At a Glance
- Desloc unveils V150 Plus solar-powered smart lock at CES 2026
- Built-in perovskite panel adapts power use to sunlight levels
- Q2 2026 launch priced under $300
- Why it matters: Never change batteries again-sun keeps your door unlocked
Desloc just pulled the plug on smart-lock charging rituals. Its new V150 Plus harvests daylight through your front door, no hub required.
Solar That Thinks
The outdoor-facing panel isn’t just a slab of silicon. It reads light levels hourly and trims energy draw so even dim porches collect enough juice. A 10,000-mAh reserve keeps the bolt moving after dark.
Smarter Than Your Average Deadbolt
Beyond solar, the lock packs:
- AI fingerprint learning-placement gets sloppier, recognition gets sharper
- Facial recognition entry for hands-free access
- Alexa and Google Home voice control
| Power Source | Battery Size | Launch Window | Price Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perovskite solar | 10,000 mAh | Q2 2026 | <$300 |
Daniel J. Whitman, News Of Los Angeles‘s smart-home editor, plans to test the shade-friendly claims once units ship.
Key Takeaways
- No hub or indoor wiring-sunlight hits the panel, lock stays alive
- Adaptive consumption stretches every ray, shady doors included
- Under-$300 tag undercuts many battery-only rivals
If the V150 Plus delivers, dead-battery lockouts could become a relic of 2025.
