It is advantageous if between the sections, in particular between the profile means, a seal, in particular comprising plastic, is used, in particular at both end sides.

It is advantageous if the profiled means can be used at a distance from one another, wherein power line cables are inserted between the profiled means

It is advantageous if a profiling means is first to be produced in one piece and subsequently divided into several sections in the transverse direction or to produce a plurality of profiling means individually.

It is advantageous if the profiling means are connected by a means for joining, in particular by a longitudinal element, in particular a rectangular profile, in particular comprising plastic and / or aluminum, which in particular fits into corresponding longitudinal openings of corresponding insertion areas of the profiling means. leads, in particular, the profile means are alternatively or additionally to connect by a plug connection.

It is advantageous if the means for connecting by fastening means, in particular fastening screws is clamped from below against the rectangular profile.

It is advantageous if the means for generating electricity comprises one or more solar panels and / or the means for storing electricity comprises one or more rechargeable accumulators.

It is advantageous if the control device has a radio receiver, in particular for external activation.

It is advantageous if a motor for actuating the protection system is controllable by the control device, wherein the motor is integrated in particular in a central axis of rotation of the protection system as a tubular motor.

It is advantageous if the movable protection systems include awnings and / or garage doors and / or turnstiles and / or blackout curtains and / or sunblinds and / or swimming pool covers.

The object is also achieved by a method for using a device for actuating drives for mobile protection systems, in particular weather protection systems, in particular sun protection systems, in particular shutters, in particular according to one of claims 1 to 9, wherein a means for generating electricity from sunlight, the is used in a portion of a profile means, electricity is generated, which is in a means for storing electricity, which is used in another section of the profile means and / or in another profiling means, in particular together with a control device for controlling a motor for driving the movable Protection system, wherein the profiled means are adapted adapted, so that a uniform structure structure of the profiling means is given, and are releasably secured to each other by means of a connection, wherein between the portions of the profiling means and / or the profiling means a connection is established, whereby the electric current is passed.
