A motor changes how often you actually move the louvers. With a crank, most owners set the roof once and leave it. With a remote or an app, you close it when a shower rolls in and open it again when the sun is back, which is the whole point of a louvered roof.
Only three kits in our comparison ship with a motor from the start. They span a wide price range, from about $2,600 to $6,500 for roughly the same 10×13 footprint, and the gap is not only the brand name: wind and snow ratings, the warranty and the return window all move with the price.
Every motorized kit needs power at a post. Pergolux asks for a standard 120 V outdoor outlet, Mirador lists a 100–240 V supply. If you do not have an outlet within reach, add an electrician to your budget before you compare kit prices.

Questions buyers ask
How much does a motorized louvered pergola cost?
In our list, from $2,600 (EROMMY, 10×13) to $6,495 (PERGOLUX Pergola 4 Pro, 10×13), prices checked Nov 15, 2026. Add an outdoor outlet if you do not have one, and installation if you hire it out.
Can I add a motor to a manual louvered pergola later?
Some brands sell motor kits for their own frames, but none of the manual kits in this list advertise a retrofit motor on the product page we read. If you want a motor, buy a kit that ships with one.
Does a motorized pergola work when the power is out?
We did not find a manual override described on the product pages we read. Ask the seller before you buy, especially if you plan to close the roof before storms.
Is a motor worth the extra cost?
If you will change the louver angle several times a day, yes. If you plan to set it and forget it, a hand crank does the same job for less and has fewer parts to fail.
