The SolarWhiz 28w Solar Powered Roof Ventilator features an adjustable Thermo/Hygrostat. This integrated control allows you to precisely set the desired temperature and humidity levels within your roof space. During periods of extreme heat, you can configure the system to activate earlier, proactively preventing heat buildup. Conversely, the system can be deactivated during winter to help retain warmth. This level of control provides complete customisation over your roof space environment, optimising both performance and energy usage according to your specific needs and climate.
During daylight hours, the SolarWhiz 28w harnesses the sun’s power through its solar panel to initiate ventilation. However, unlike systems that rely solely on solar power and only switch to mains upon complete depletion, the integrated Night Kit ensures consistent airflow by supplementing the solar energy with mains electricity whenever the solar input alone is insufficient. This is a constant-current system, meaning mains power actively supports the solar power in real-time to maintain optimal ventilation performance, rather than waiting for the solar charge to be fully exhausted. This intelligent combination guarantees effective removal of heat and moisture from your roof space, even during partially cloudy days or periods of lower solar intensity.
As night falls and solar energy is no longer available, the SolarWhiz 28w automatically transitions to operate solely on mains electricity. This ensures continuous ventilation throughout the night, preventing the buildup of condensation and maintaining a healthy environment within your roof space. This uninterrupted operation, independent of sunlight, provides consistent protection against moisture damage and helps regulate temperature fluctuations, contributing to the longevity of your roof structure and potentially improving the comfort of your living areas below.
How Does It Work
Optimum performance from Solar Whiz requires accessibility to replacement air and professional installation. With Solar Whiz, it is possible to extract significant amounts of hot air from the roof space and/or interior of the home. This brings about a cooler atmosphere in both living spaces and the ceiling.
Powerful Extraction
Harness the power of the sun to keep cool during summer with the Solar Whiz. During the hot summer months, 25-35% of the heat in your home is generated from your roof space. The Solar Whiz uses solar energy to start operating when the sun rises and helps to keep your roof temperature close to the outside ambient air all day.
Moisture and Condensation Control
It is important for any home to have adequate airflow in order to avoid moisture build-ups which can lead to condensation and the subsequent development of mould or mildew. Therefore, it is essential to take measures that ensure proper ventilation within the home to reduce the risk of such issues.The incredibly flexible and adaptable Solar Whiz system can be seamlessly integrated into almost any tile or metal roof, and our extensive selection of accessories will ensure that even the most complex installation requirements can be met with ease.
The ducting system is a great solution for effective temperature control and to prevent condensation. It draws air directly from rooms using a ducting system and can be installed on its own or in conjunction with other roof space extraction setups.
- Powerful ventilation for entire rooms.
- High performance air and condensation extraction.
Solar Whiz stands out from other suppliers due to its holistic approach to efficiency. By extracting hot air from your roof space and replacing it with cooler air through eaves or ceiling vents, enhances the unit’s performance.
- Decrease the thermal load of your roof space.
- Ducted air conditioners can operate with improved effectiveness.
This method is especially effective in multistory houses and can be used alongside evaporative cooling to get rid of excess humidity. By extracting air from the rooms, you can significantly reduce the temperature and create a more comfortable living environment.
- Improve the efficiency of your evaporative air-con system through increased air circulation.
- Fresh air is circulated through your living spaces.
