Maybe similar to cord less window shades. To raise our blinds, I use both palm and push up, thumb and fingers to pull down. One drawback is sometimes it takes a second to make them perfectly straight. No effort to raise or lower. Our front bedroom window is the longest width @ 81”. My guess is same concept or maybe a spring action like the old roller shades.
Our lanai faces Northeast, so we were thinking shades for rain. Quote for outdoor motorized shades was $18,000, because of the expanse between pillars and 10’ walls.
