Pre-Order Product: ETA Early Feb
The 15W SolarWhiz Solar Powered Roof Ventilator comes complete with both the adjustable thermo/hygrostat and Night kit. The N-OPS kit (Also known as the Constant Current Module) is a useful addition that allows a Solar Whiz installation to be run during low-light hours such as heavily overcast days, or night-time. This enables your Solar Whiz to run on mains electricity once the solar charge has depleted. Also included is an adjustable digital thermo/hygrostat, allowing you to define the required temperature & humidity for the unit to begin operating at with an easy-to-use interface. These two components combined provide the comprehensive roof ventilation solution.

How it Works
The Solar Whiz runs whenever there is active sunlight reaching the solar panel, it does not include a battery to continue operation beyond daylight. For the majority of installations dealing with heat within roof space, this is suitable as direct sunlight is often the cause of excessive roof space heat. Solar Whiz is an effective solution for hot roof spaces providing an efficient exchange of hot air. For Solar Whiz to provide maximum performance, replacement air must be accessible and professional installation is required. High volumes of hot air can be extracted from the roof space and/or home interior, thus allowing for a much cooler atmosphere in the ceiling and living spaces.
The included Adjustable Digital Thermo/Hygrostat provides total control when your Solar Whiz operates and you can deactivate the system to keep the heat in winter. During periods of exceptional heat, this can enable the unit to operate earlier, preventing heat build-up. Alternatively, you can deactivate the system to retain heat in winter. The Night Kit can still work during more gloomy days or even throughout the night and enables your Solar Whiz to run on mains electricity once the solar charge has depleted.
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.

Our innovative Solar Whiz system is highly versatile. It can easily be integrated into almost any tile or metal roof, ensuring that our vast selection of accompanying accessories can effectively compensate for any complex installation requirements.
Ducted Extraction
The ducting system can be utilized to draw air directly from rooms, providing a highly efficient solution for controlling temperatures as well as preventing condensation. This system can be installed on its own or alongside other roof space extraction setups.
- Powerful ventilation for entire rooms.
- High performance air and condensation extraction.
Roof Space Extraction
Solar Whiz differs from other suppliers in its comprehensive approach to efficiency, extracting hot air from your roof space and replacing it with cooler ambient air through either eaves or ceiling vents. This serves to enhance the unit’s overall performance.
- Decrease the thermal load of your roof space.
- Ducted air conditioners can operate with improved effectiveness.
Ceiling Vent Extraction
Removing air from rooms can be a highly efficient way to bring down the temperature of your home’s interior. This method is particularly advantageous in multistory houses, and it can be used in tandem with evaporative cooling to eliminate surplus humidity.
- Improve the efficiency of your evaporative air-con system through increased air circulation.
- Fresh air is circulated through your living spaces.
Up to 35% of the heat in your home is coming through your ceiling – that could mean a lot of extra heat in the summer months! With temperatures on the roof easily going as high as 70°C, it’s a great idea to take roof ventilation seriously so that all this warm air can be removed and your home can stay cool.
