SolarWhiz 15W Solar Powered Roof Ventilator With Night Kit & Adjustable Thermo/Hygrostat
$1,060.00
The 15W SolarWhiz Solar Powered Roof Ventilator comes accompanied by both the Adjustable Thermo/Hygrostat and the Night kit. The N-OPS kit (Also known as the Constant Current Module) is especially handy since it allows users to run the Solar Whiz installation during low-light hours, both on heavily overcast days or at night. This means the system doesn’t wait for solar power to run out; instead, mains electricity kicks in right away to help when solar alone isn’t enough, ensuring a constant current flow. It also comes with the Adjustable Thermo/Hygrostat, which is another great component that lets you adjust the required temperature for the unit to begin operating at. When these two components are combined, users get a really comprehensive roof ventilation solution.

The SolarWhiz 15w 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 15w 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 15w 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
To ensure that Solar Whiz operates at optimal efficiency, it is imperative that the installation is carried out by professionals and that the replacement air is easily accessible. Large quantities of hot air can be efficiently extracted from the home interior and roof space, resulting in a significantly cooler indoor climate across both living spaces and ceiling areas.
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.

All data is provided the manufacturer. Capacity figures are based on the extraction rate of the unit in 'freeflow'. This means without any ducting, vents or other components. As you add ducting to a fan it will impact the extraction rate as this introduces resistance. For this reason if you are ducting an extraction fan it is best to keen the run as short, tight and direct as possible. For more information please view our exhaust fan buying guide.
